The author of this book has a great talent of writing in first-person. A girl named Katniss gets tugged into an arena and is forced to kill people around her. This book has a sci-fiction twist so I think you will enjoy it. There is a few emotional parts other wise its entertaining.

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

It is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, takes place in an otherworldly realm, in which the Capitol consists of the ultra-rich, while those who settle in districts fight to sustain each others' famine. Every year, to show their superiority over the districts, the Capitol hosts the annual Hunger Games, where young adults are involved in a reaping. When her younger sister, Primrose is chosen to represent District 12, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her place, & ultimately, has no choice but to kill others in order for her to make it out of the Hunger Games alive. I recommend this book for adequate young adults, especially those who are in for suspense & action.
