The Hunger Games
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

This is a reread, but I haven't read this series in years so it feels like the first time!
AUIDIO BOOK ADVICE: This series has TWO different narrators. Carolyn McCormick has a more classical sounding voice and Katniss at times sounds more like a girl from the late 1800s. I feel like Tatiana Maslany's narration sounds more true to the Katniss we know, especially if you've seen the films. I feel like Tatiana's version is more successful in emphasizing the right emotion & clarifying context.
