The Hunger Games: A WikiFocus Book

The Hunger Games Companions series

This reference guide is built around one of the most talked-about young adult series of recent years. It opens with the premise of a sixteen-year-old girl who, almost by accident, finds herself a contender in a yearly competition run by the Capitol. Each year, boys and girls chosen from the districts are pitted against one another in a fight to the death that is broadcast on television for the whole nation to watch. The companion explains the setting, the rules of the games and the wider society that stages them, giving readers a handy way to check names, places and events. It suits fans who want background on the world behind the story and a closer look at the ideas it raises about power, spectacle and survival.
