The Hunger Games: Level 2 by Suzanne Collins

~adapted by E. Morlandt

In the Capitol of Panem, people are rich.

This country is Panem.

In District 12, people are poor coal miners.

This is Katniss. Katniss lives in District 12.

She lives with her mom and her sister, Prim.

She has a friend named Gale. Gale and Katniss hunt for food in the forest.

The Capitol says it is time for the Hunger Games.

In the Hunger Games, a boy and girl from each district fight. There are 12 districts in all.

Prim is picked first. Katniss volunteers to take Prim's place. That way Prim will be safe at home and will not fight.

Now Katniss will fight in the Hunger games.

They fight until all of them die. Only one tribute can be the winner.

The boy from District 12 is Peeta.

Peeta and Katniss go to the Capitol to prepare for the games. The Capitol is very far from District 12, and they

are very nervous and anxious.

During his interview, Peeta tells everyone on TV that he loves Katniss. The audience, or people watching the TV

show, are sad because one of them must die in the Hunger Games.

People watch the Hunger Games on TV and meet Katniss and Peeta with the other district tributes.

The games start and Peeta and Katniss need to stay alive. They survive for many days, but they are not

helping each other because they think they have to kill each other.

The Capitol says that two people can win as long as they are from the same district. Katniss finds Peeta and he is hurt. She helps him find shelter and to get well again.

Oh, no! The Capitol says that only one person can win now.

Katniss and Peeta do not want to kill each other, so they decide to eat poisonous berries. That way no one is the

winner.

Katniss and Peeta are the only two tributes left! They think they have won and can go home!

The Capitol says that Peeta and Katniss both win the Hunger Games. They tell everyone they are in love and

that is why they broke the Capitol’s rules by trying to eat the berries.

The game-master and President Snow are very angry that they broke the rules. President Snow feels like Katniss and Peeta made the Capitol look like fools.

Who will Katniss love? Peeta or Gale? Will President Snow get his revenge?

Katniss and Peeta go home to District 12. Gale has been taking care of Katniss’s family while she has been gone.

He is sad that she said she loves Peeta.
