The Hunger Games

The first book in 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





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.





Three books, four films and one worldwide phenomenon, The
Hunger Games changed the face of global YA.

All three of the Hunger Games original novels have been
made into major feature films, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh
Hutcherson & Liam Hemsworth

The best-selling prequel to The
Hunger Games, The Ballad of Songbirds
and Snakes, was a global number one feature film
in autumn 2023 and a number one New York Times and The
Times bestseller in hardback in May 2020.
