內容簡介: |
Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and
younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of
what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on
the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each
district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual
televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and
level of audience participation may change but one thing is
constant: kill or be killed. When Kat''s sister is chosen by
lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
