About the book

I am reading a book called The Hunger Games. This book takes place in a future where the U.S no longer exists and instead is known as Panem, which is split in to 12 districts. Each district is specialized in a certain trade. Every year two children, one boy and one girl, are chosen from each district to fight to the death. The protagonist of the story is named Katniss. Katniss is a loving sister, who takes care of her family because her father died in an accident, and her mother's occupation is not enough to provide for the family. Also, she is a exceptional hunter, that often hunts squirrels and turkeys. Katniss ends up volunteering to join The Hunger Games, to protect her sister who was chosen as a tribute(contestant). As the story unravels there are many interesting twists to the story, some being expected, some being unexpected.
