The Hunger Games is a marvellous book written by Suzanne Collins. This book is such a thrilling page turner – I couldn’t put it down. The intense storyline was so engaging I actually felt I was there with the main characters.

Once a year the capital city of Panem holds a Hunger Games where 12 unfortunate boys and girls fight to their death. Katniss Everdeen (a sixteen-year-old) steps forward to save her little sister from competing. Not knowing what was coming, the selected warriors would have to survive in a created arena watched by millions until one survivor was left. Will Katniss win, or die fighting?
This book is full of pace and heart-stopping scenarios. Its futuristic theme keeps the reader on their toes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and feel that it is a suitable read for children aged 10 and up.*
*Book Nook note – The Hunger Games is generally recommended for children 14+
