The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

by Suzanne Collins

“Katniss, the girl who was on fire.”

You know what my mother said to me when she came to say good-bye, as if to cheer me up, she says maybe District Twelve will finally have a winner. Then I realized, she didn’t mean me, she meant you!”

Rue’s death has forced me to confront my own fury against the cruelty, the injustice they inflict upon us.
