In Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games, 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister's place in a televised, fight-to-the-death battle royale mandated by the oppressive Capitol in dystopian Panem. Katniss, from impoverished District 12, must navigate the deadly arena and survive against other tributes, including her district partner, Peeta Mellark.
