First edition. The second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy, and the basis for the blockbuster movie of the same name. Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games and saved the life of fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark.

But there are rumors of rebellion among the districts, and Katniss and Peeta are the unwilling faces of the rebellion.
