The book that I just finished is called "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins a science fiction/fantasy book. The main idea in this book is that during the 74th hunger game Katniss's sister Prim got chosen to be in the hunger game. First of all hunger game mean is when you get chosen you have to fight other district's in order to win. The reason why Katniss didn't want Prim to go to the hunger game because Prim doesn't know completely how to hunt and survive but Katniss does that's why she substitute for her sister. Katniss is really good with the bow and arrow(s) and hunting things to eat and tell what things that you can't eat. For the hunger game one girl's name will be picked and one boy's name will be picked and the boy is Peeta, his family are bakers so they bake bread and trade for other things/goods. So during the hunger game in the middle of it Peeta's leg got injured really bad and got bit too, so he had a lot of poison in him too. Katniss's had a best friend name Rue and she had died. Rue had taught Katniss a song that the mocking jays ca understand and pass it on to a different person that knows the song, for an example Katniss to Rue.

There are 12 districts each specializing in a certain thing. District 12 are coal miners, District 11 are gardeners, so on. Then there is the Capitol. Every year, to show they have power over everyone, they host a gameshow called the Hunger Games. They have a Reaping day and select one young man and woman to compete. This isn't a normal gameshow. You fight for your life. You kill other children and it's broadcasted live on TV.
