Effie Trinkett- The Hunger Games
A gripping and suspenseful novel, 'The Hunger Games' follows
the powerful story of sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen. Her world is Panem, a
country ruled by the harsh Capitol which is surrounded by twelve districts,
most of which are barely scraping by. As punishment for the Great War and in
order to keep the rebels in line, the Capitol forces the districts to send one
young man and woman to compete in the all-dreaded Hunger Games, a fight to the
death on live national TV.
When Katniss volunteers to take her sister's place for the
Games, she takes it as a death sentence until she realises she has a chance to
win, by putting life before love and humanity. 'The Hunger Games' is intensely enticing, fast-paced and has delightfully dry
humour. It is the perfect adventure novel for 12 years and up, and
entwines a race for survival, heart-touching moments and a struggle against
inhumanity.
