Katniss Everdeen, a fearless and resourceful heroine, finds herself in a battle for survival. One of 24 young tributes pitted against each other in an arena to fight to the death, Katniss emerges as a symbol of rebellion as she fights not only for her life but for the hope of a nation oppressed by a ruthless Capitol.
