Description
10th Anniversary Edition of The Hunger
Games with exclusive content. Contains
more than fifty pages of new bonus material, including the
most extensive interview Suzanne Collins has given since the publication
of The Hunger Games, which provides an absorbing behind-the-scenes
look at the creation of the series; and an engaging archival
conversation between Suzanne Collins and YA legend Walter
Dean Myers on writing about war.
Set
in a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show
is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced
to appear in a live event called The Hunger Games.
There is only one rule: kill or be killed.
When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to
take her younger sister's place in the games, she sees it as a death
sentence.
But Katniss has been close to death before.
For her, survival is second nature.

jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense.

this book. . . . The Hunger Games is amazing." Stephenie
Meyer, author of the Twilight saga
