Synopsis
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.

FYI: Hot Topic is selling Hunger Games T-shirts, jewelry, and other stuff if you become a fan (ha ha).

=Hostess: Raisse Ward= = Food: = = Food is very symbolic in The Hunger Games. There is the lack of food in the districts, particularly in the district that provides food for the capital and the abundance of food provided to the participants before the games. = = Hunger Games Recipes: =
