What is the book called the Hunger Games all about?

The Hunger Games is about a country called Panem in the ruins of North America somewhat in the future and its annual competition, the Hunger Games. In the Hunger Games, the Capitol, the heart of Panem, forces the twelve surrounding districts to each send one boy and one girl to fight the other districts in Panem. And in the Hunger Games, there is only one rule: Stay Alive.


What happened in the dark days in The Hunger Games?

The Dark Days are the days in which the thirteen districts of Panem rose up and fought against the dictating Capitol. However, they did not succeed in defeating them, and district thirteen was destroyed, therefore the Capitol started the yearly Hunger Games, where they remind the twelve districts of what they went through, telling them not to do it again. In the Hunger Games, each district must send to the Capitol one young man and women, between the tribute ages of twelve and eighteen, to be trained in the art of survival, and to be prepared to fight to the death. (taken from the trailer of the movie The Hunger Games, released in theaters March 23, 2012)


What do you win if your the only one left in the Hunger Games book?

Well, your district receives food every month. You will never be chosen to compete in the Hunger Games as well (with the exception of the Quarter Quell in Catching Fire). You get to tour all the districts. You get a nice, big house in the Victor's Village and are overall very wealthy for the rest of your life.


Will The Hunger Games books continue?

Sadly, no. There are only three books in the series: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. There will be the Hunger Games movie coming out soon, on March 23, 2012.
