The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Survival of the strongest. A theory put forth by Charles Darwin, that only the strongest can survive. In the future, there no longer is a United States, instead there are 12 Districts all controlled by the Capitol. Each District grows or manufactures a product that is needed by the Capitol. To keep each District under the Capitol's rule(conflict of politics??)they have started the Hunger Games. Each District selects two candidates, one boy, one girl, between the age of 12 and 18, who go to the Capitol to fight it out to the end.
