The Girl Who Was on Fire: Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games Trilogy Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Praised by writers from Stephen King to Stephenie Meyer, Suzanne Collins New York Times bestselling Hunger Games trilogy is dark, captivating, and deeply thought-provoking. Part straight-up survivalist adventure, part rich allegory, and part political thriller, the series has become a new YA favorite.

The Girl Who Was On Fire offers even more to think about for teen readers already engrossed by the Hunger Games. From the trilogy's darker themes of violence and social control to reality television, fashion, and weaponry, the collection's exploration of the Hunger Games by other YA writers reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous, protagonist Katniss world really is.

The Girl Who Was On Fire covers all three books in the Hunger Games trilogy.

Synopsis:

Katniss Everdeens adventures may have come to an end, but her story continues to blaze in the hearts of millions worldwide.

In The Girl Who Was on Fire, thirteen YA authors take you back to Panem with moving, dark, and funny pieces on Katniss, the Games, Gale and Peeta, reality TV, survival, and more. From the trilogy's darker themes of violence and social control to fashion and weaponry, the collection's exploration of the Hunger Games reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous, protagonist Katniss world really is.

• How does the way the Games affect the brain explain Haymitchs drinking, Annies distraction, and Wiress speech problems?

• What does the rebellion have in common with the War on Terror?

• Why isnt the answer to “Peeta or Gale?” as interesting as the question itself?

• What should Panem have learned from the fates of other hedonistic societies throughout history—and what can we?

The Girl Who Was On Fire covers all three books in the Hunger Games trilogy.
