To punish citizens for an earlier rebellion, the rulers require each district to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the Hunger Games, a fight to the death that is televised for the whole country to see. Sixteen-year old Katniss volunteers to take her younger sister's place after her name is drawn. Peeta, the baker's son, is the boy who drawn to compete for District 12 also. Peeta and Katniss fight to survive the harsh terrain, the other 22 contestants and the struggle to get enough good and water. Peeta and Katniss are able to fight off the others and everything the Capitol throws at them and survive, but the Capitol is not happy when they trick them into allowing them both to survive. Part one of three.
