Book one of the ground-breaking Hunger Games trilogy.
“A violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense. . . . I couldn’t stop reading.” Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly.
“I was so obsessed with this book. . . . The Hunger Games is amazing.” Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga.
“Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced.” John Green, The New York Times Book Review.
In a bleak vision of the near future, twenty-four teenagers are forced into a terrifying televised event known as The Hunger Games, where the only rule is kill or be killed. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister’s place, fully expecting it to be a death sentence — but Katniss has faced death before, and survival is second nature to her.
Adapted into a major feature film starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson & Liam Hemsworth, The Hunger Games grew from three books into four films and one genuine worldwide phenomenon, reshaping global YA fiction in the process. Its best-selling prequel, The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes, is itself soon to become a major feature film, releasing in November 2023.
