The games are a reminder of the Capitol’s power and a measure taken to ensure the Districts never rebel again. These 24 participants will be forced into an arena where they will fight to the death until one victor remains. In each of the first 12 districts, one boy and one girl are chosen to participate in the Hunger Games. Every year, the Capitol holds the Hunger Games. The districts suffer from extreme poverty and are kept under the strict rule of the Capitol. Hunger Games takes place in Panem, a country in North American consisting of a Capitol and 13 districts. While aimed at young adults, The Hunger Games boasts some very mature themes of power, government corruption, rebellion, and war. The series’ popularity is comparable to the likes of Harry Potter, Twilight, and Percy Jackson, boasting over 100 million copies sold. Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games series is one of the bestselling and most influential YA series ever published.
