SUZANNE COLLINS set the YA genre on fire when she and Scholastic published HUNGER GAMES back in 2008. I mean, who would have imagined a series that would outsell Harry Potter.

In
a future North America there are 13 districts dominated by a Capital
that maintains brutal control through intimidation. In order to insure
that the districts don't forget that they are subservient, annual games
are held where children are chosen to fight to the death against one
another. When sixteen-year-old Katniss's sister is chosen, she defies
convention and volunteers to take her place. And this is where the
adventure begins.

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice.
But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still
not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. And what's worse, President
Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's
family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. A dark ending to this amazing trilogy.
