=== Author ===
Suzanne Collins is the author of The Hunger Games trilogy. She came up with the idea for the book late at night whilst watching TV, when two channels presenting a programme on war and a game show blurred in her mind.
=== Publishers ===
Scholastic published the Hunger Games book, whilst the film franchise is released by Lionsgate Entertainment.
== First Book - Hunger Games ==
The first book is from the PoV of Katniss, a female 16-year-old residing in District 12. She lives with her sister, Primrose Everdeen, who is 12 - and her mother, Mrs Everdeen. Her first name is unknown. 
=== Plot ===
It is the 74th annual Hunger Games. The story begins with Katniss awaking, her sister and mother still asleep together. She begins by briefly describing their cat, Buttercup, stating that he is the "world's ugliest cat". She then exits her home, going towards the outer parts of District 12, before creeping under a fence to get to the forest. She explains that the fence is there to keep out wild animals from roaming the streets, but she often goes there to hunt for food; and she also states that many other people would, if they were brave enough and had the weapons. Soon, we are introduced to Gale Hawthorne, the best friend of Katniss. We learn that they met in the woods one day, years back, and agreed to become hunting partners; and soon, slowly, they began to trust each other enough to share their spoils - and, as Katniss says, - "Stop haggling over every trade." - TO BE CONTINUED -
