In the first third of the book, we are introduced to our protagonist, Katniss Everdeen. Though she's only a teenager, she's a tough hunter who puts food on her family's table. Her father is dead and she lives with her mother and sister Prim in District 12 in the country of Panem. She hunts with a guy named Gale who is cute and might even have a thing for her, but I think we'll find out soo Katniss is not very in touch with her mushy side.
Every year the Capitol of Panem hosts an event called the Hunger Games where two "tributes" – a boy and a girl – are picked from each of the twelve districts to be brought to an arena and fight to the death.Only one person can win. This is to remind the country not to rebel – and for entertainment, of course. This year, unfortunately, Katniss's little sister is selected for the Hunger Games, so Katniss volunteers to take her place. Also selected is Peeta Mellark,who I believe so far has a crush on Katniss.
