The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games series includes 3 action adventure novels all written by Suzanne Collins. The first book in this trilogy is the one my book report is based on, titled The Hunger Games. The book was published by Scholastic and released on September 14, 2008. The 374 page book has captured the attention of young teens as well as adults.

I had no idea what the reaping was until around the 3rd or 4th chapter. Also Cato’s team in the games consisted of Peeta. At this point in the novel Katniss thought that Peeta was turning on her, by telling Catos group where she was but little did Peeta know they were just using him until they found her. I didn't understand how once they found Katniss they didn't kill Peeta like they said they
