Luckily, Katniss’s lifelong friend, Gale, was able to lead many of the people of District 12 away from their home before the bombs dropped. In retaliation for Katniss’s escape, President Coriolanus Snow, the leader of the government of Panem, has bombed District 12. Haymitch was unable to free Katniss’s friend, Peeta, another Hunger Games competitor from District 12, and as a result, Peeta is in government captivity, suspected of being a rebel. Katniss has escaped from the Hunger Games arena with the help of her mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, a number of other Hunger Games competitors, and Plutarch Heavensbee, a double agent who pretended to be working for the government, but in actuality works for a secret rebel alliance dedicated to defeating the government. In the Hunger Games, competitors from each of the twelve districts of Panem compete with one another until only one person is alive. Katniss, a citizen of the futuristic country of Panem, has just escaped from a ceremony called the Hunger Games, which the government of Panem puts on every year. The novel opens with Katniss Everdeen, a young woman, standing in the ruins of her former home, known as District 12.
