Lorsqu'elle apprend qu'un camarade de classe en arbore un truffé de signatures (dont celle d'un joueur de baseball célèbre), l'héroïne est bien décidée à faire mieux que lui en récoltant à son tour un autographe bien spécial. Aura-t-elle le courage d'en demander un à sa sorcière de voisine?

The Hunger Games

Collins, Suzanne


In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place 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.
