In this Pick of the Week video, teenage students will be introduced to "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Summary Review--Katniss Everdeen is a survivor. Peeta Mellark is the son of a baker—the boy who once saved Katniss's life. Unfortunately, th...ey've both been selected as participants in this years Hunger Games. Even more unfortunately, the rules say that only one of them can survive. In Katniss and Peeta's post-apocalyptic society, life revolves around the Games—a sort of war-based reality show, generously televised for the people of Panem to watch. You'll watch, too—as though you cant help it. Sure, there's an excess of blood, but there's also enough action to make sure you don't put this book down until you've read the last page. All of which doesn't exactly make for great literature, but if you're looking for an exciting, heart-thumping read, "The Hunger Games" is definitely it. This is a great resource to entice and encourage upper grade readers. (1:26)

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing... government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. (1:11)
