Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Catniss a 17 year old girl that lives in district 12. Her sister, Primrose,  is 10 and it is her first year in the reaping. The reaping is when a woman picks a boy or girl from each district from a bowl, and if you get picked, you have to fight to the death with the other contestants. When it is time for the reaping, Primrose gets picked.  The guards escort her down the path.  There is a yell in the distance. "I volunteer!"  says Catniss.  The guards let Primrose go and bring Catniss up to the stage. Then it is the boy's turn to be picked.  The annoucer puts her hand in the bowl and picks a card.  "Peeta Mallark!" she says.  TG
