Showing results for "The Hunger Games" in Teen & Young Adult

Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a brand-new special edition recording of the first audiobook in the worldwide best-selling trilogy from Suzanne Collins! In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop.

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

With Earth about to be destroyed by an extinction level asteroid, teenage nerd, geek, and awkward smart girl Gwen Lark, barely qualified for rescue onboard one of the thousands of ark-ships headed to the ancient colony planet Atlantis. Faced with a year-long journey in space, life in a wondrously alien environment, and tough life choices, Gwen must decide who or what she will become. Fleet Cadet or Civilian? Friend or lover? Average or extraordinary? Can she make new friends? Can she trust the old ones, such as Logan Sangre, her sexy high school crush and an Earth special operative?

Api Pemberontakan sudah tersulut. Dan Capitol ingin membalas dendam. Katniss Everdeen berhasil keluar sebagai pemenang Hunger Games bersama Peeta Mellark.

I ruinerne af det gamle Nordamerika ligger nu landet Panem, som består af tolv distrikter. Hvert år tvinger magthaverne i Panem hvert distrikt til at udvælge en pige og en dreng, som skal deltage i Dødsspillet - den årlige kamp om liv og død på direkte TV. 16-årige Kattua bor sammen med sin mor og lillesøster i det fattigste af alle distrikterne. Den dag hun står frem og frivilligt tager sin lillesøsters plads i Dødsspillet, betragter hun det som en dødsdom. Men Kattua har før haft døden tæt på, og hun er klar til at kæmpe for sit liv.

Kattua har overlevet Døsspillet og burde være lettet, lykkelig faktisk, nu da hun er vendt hjem til familien og barndomsvennen, Gale. Men hendes medsoner fra Distrikt 12, Peeta, har vendt hende ryggen, og intet er, som det burde være. Rundt omkring i landet hviskes der om oprør mod Capitol, og magthaverne mener, at Kattua er skyld i uroen. Nu vil de have hævn. Kattua og Peeta bliver sendt rundt i landet for at overbevise folket om, at de er vildt forelskede i hinanden, og at alt er godt. Men inderst inde er Kattua måske slet ikke interesseret i at dæmpe uroen.

Na abertura dos Jogos Vorazes, a organização não recolhe os corpos dos combatentes caídos e dá tiros de canhão até o final. Cada tiro, um morto. Onze tiros no primeiro dia. Treze jovens restaram, entre eles, Katniss. Para quem os tiros de canhão serão no dia seguinte?... Após o fim da América do Norte, uma nova nação chamada Panem surge. Formada por doze distritos, é comandada com mão de ferro pela Capital.

Depois da improvável e inusitada vitória de Katniss Everdeen e Peeta Mellark nos últimos Jogos Vorazes, algo parece ter mudado para sempre em Panem. Aqui e ali, distúrbios e agitações nos distritos dão sinais de que uma revolta é iminente. Katniss e Peeta, representantes do paupérrimo Distrito 12, não apenas venceram os Jogos, mas ridicularizaram o governo e conseguiram fazer todos – incluindo o próprio Peeta – acreditarem que são um casal apaixonado.
