What is the Hunger Games Catching Fire about?

Answer 1

The Hunger Games is a trilogy from Suzanne Collins about a young girl named Katniss Everdeen who volunteers for her sister Prim and enters the 74th annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is when two tributes (people) from each district (12) are called to fight to the death until one victor is left. The games were originated from the "Dark Days" when the districts revolted and one district was destroyed.

Answer 2

Here's what it says on the back of Catching Fire:

"Against all odds, Katniss has survived the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol-a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest that she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peets to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying. Katniss is about to be tested as never before."

Answer 3

President Snow was trying to kill Katniss, but to keep himself away from blame. To do this, he used the quarter quell. He made it that the tributes were to be pulled from the victors in each district. He knew that Katniss was the only female victor from district 12. Katniss has to compete, while being the face of the looming revolution.
