Synopsis:

Thirteen young adult authors address a host of philosophical issues about Suzanne Collins's wildly popular Hunger Games trilogy in this compelling anthology. Sarah Rees Brennan cheerfully delves into understanding the immense popularity of the story, while Mary Borsellino explores the notion that love is the most powerful weapon at play. Author Carrie Ryan contemplates reality television and society, and Bree Despain discusses the complex notions of community and liberty. Fans of the trilogy will find these essays a fascinating source of thought-provoking discussion and rumination.

Publisher Notes:

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. A film version of the first book, The Hunger Games, is currently in development. 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.
