In the book, it all starts out as in the ruins of North America, lies a nation called Panem. It includes the Capital with 12 surrounding districts, there used to be 13, but the government bombed District 13. To keep the 12 Districts in line, each district sends a boy and a girl between the ages 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, where you survive on your own in the wild and fight to death with the other players. From District 12, nicknamed the "Seam", 16 year old Katniss Everdeen volunteers for tribute to take her sister, Primrose Everdeen's place, after she was chosen to participate in the Hunger Games. The boy who was chosen, Peeta Mellark, reminded Katniss of 5 years ago when he gave her food, or 2 loaves of bread to eat, after her family was almost starving to death. When they arrive at the Capital, their stylists help them look nice and they attend the ceremony and figure out the Training Center is their new home, for now. Next, they get trained with the previous winner from District 12, Haymitch, or the mentor, and use the training equipment with other district players, and have a "training session" with the game makers, where each of the 24 players show their skills and get a rating from 1-12, 12 being the highest. Katniss, shot a bow at the game maker's roast pig's apple in its mouth that was just delivered because they weren't concentrating to her and excused herself. She later got a 11!!! Later, the 24 players get interviewed by the host, Caesar Flickerman, and Peeta, the boy tribute from District 12 admitted he liked Katniss, the girl tribute from the same District, and Katniss gets really fired up with him. The Hunger Games begin a couple days later! Sadly, Katniss suffers a black-out and gets burned on her right leg calf. She also forms friends and allies with a 12 year old girl from District 11 called Rue, and Rue died later in the book. After Rue's death, there was a rule change, originally having 1 player from a District be a winner, but changing it to 2 players from the same District. Katniss immediately goes and finds Peeta. When Katniss finds Peeta, she discovers Peeta had a big wound on his leg from a cut from a sword done by Cato, the boy form District 2. But anyway, the 2 become star crossed lovers and shared a couple of kisses. A close call of Katniss's death was when Katniss was getting healing cream for Peeta's wound, and Clove, the girl tribute from District 2 almost stabbed her with a knife on Katniss's way back, but Thresh, the boy tribute from District 11, killed Clove for Katniss, and saved her life, because of the relationship between Rue and her. Also, near the end, Cato threatened to kill Peeta, and if Katniss killed Cato, both of them would go down, but Peeta signaled the perfect place to shoot Cato with an arrow, and Peeta survived and Cato died. Then, there was another rule change, changing the number of victors from each District from 2 to 1, but Katniss says Peeta and her are together and would die together, and they were about to eat poison berries on the count of three, but they were both declared winners at the last second. For the victor's ceremony, both of them got half a crown.
