The Hunger Games is a searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present. In a dark vision of the near future, The Hunger Games is set in the ruins of a place once known as North America. The cruel Capitol keeps order in its twelve outlying districts by forcing them each to send one boy and girl to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a terrifying reality TV show broadcasting a live fight to the death. Without really meaning to, 16 year old Katniss becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Welcome to the deadliest reality TV show ever.

Books in The Hunger Games Series:

1. The Hunger Games

2. Catching Fire

3. Mockingjay

4. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Chosen by our Guest Editor for October 2023, Jennifer Killick, as one of her must-reads:  "The premise of The Hunger Games is so perfectly awful and intriguing, and the writing so clever and beautiful that I really think everyone who doesn’t read it is missing out."

Chosen by our Guest Editor, Jacqueline Wilson, as one of her must reads, February 2012: "I don't usually go for blockbuster dystopian stories - but this trilogy is imaginatively conceived and well written and a genuine page-turner. Sixteen year old Katniss takes part in a terrifying annual televised game where teenagers fight for their lives. In our current climate of reality television shows like The X-Factor and I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of Here, this starts to ring horribly true. It's often disturbing, but it certainly will hold the attention of even the most reluctant reader.  It's about to be a much-hyped film, so should attract even more attention."
