The Hunger Games: Anniversary Edition

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.

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.

"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
