Junebook 7: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I'm pretty sure most people have heard about this series by now. But I absolutely loved it. I thought it was very well written and the world was explained really well.

For those of you who don't know, The Hunger Games is an annual competition where two children between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen from each "District" to come and fight to the death. It is vile and messed up but the rest of this society cheers on like it is some joyful event.

Enter Katniss Everdeen, who actually volunteers herself into the competition and starts a revolution, starting up a reputation as the girl on fire.

The other novels in the trilogy include Catching Fire and Mockingjay and follow the struggles of the outer Districts and Katniss in trying to overthrow the Capitol government and end the Hunger Games once and for all.
