If you haven't yet picked up Suzanne Collins' books in the Hunger Games series, climb out from under that rock and head on over here, we'll set you up!
The premise of the story (from Collin's website):
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 her sister is chosen by lottery, Katniss steps up to go in her place.
Hunger Games is the first in the series, followed by Catching Fire. The last in the trilogy will be out August 24, 2010 and will be titled Mockingjay! Read the press release here!
In this USA Today article, notice that Collins mentions she has finished the screenplay for Hunger Games!
Happy reading!
