Hunger Games.

This book is about a Girl from district 12 named Katniss Everdeen. Katniss is a hunter who provides food for her family. Katniss's sister was picked as a tribute for the annual hunger games. Katniss did not want to see her sister do as a tribute, so she volunteered as tribute. Katniss's partner is Peeta. Peeta is the bakers son.

When the two tributes were send off, in the opening ceremonies they dressed in inflammable clothes and lit themselves on fire and drew attention to themselves.   All 24 of the tributes are transported to the arena to fight it out. Katniss is on her own at first, but then she discovers that Peeta has teamed up with the Career Tributes – the strong kids from the rich districts in Panem who actually want to go to the Hunger Games. Katniss goes searching for Peeta at the end and finds him wounded. Katniss and Peeta team up, but when they think they have won, the announcer gets on and announces that there can only be one winner.

Darryl and Hutch do not get along.

Hutch is disappointed because his dad does not help him with baseball so they do not talk much, just a hello or a how ya doing?. One day Hutch decides to show up to practice and his dad is giving Darryl lessons and helping him instead of his own son. If I were Hutch I would be really upset and disappointed in my dad.
