Gah. January was a busy month. So busy I didn’t get the chance to flog my latest release. Are you a fan of The Hunger Games? Have you watched this trailer seven thousand times? I know I have!
So you’re not going to want to miss this:
The Girl Who Was on Fire – Movie Edition
Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games Trilogy
edited by Leah Wilson
Katniss Everdeen’s 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 – Movie Edition, sixteen 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.
-
How does the way the Games affect the brain explain Haymitch’s drinking, Annie’s distraction, and Wiress’ speech problems?
-
What does the rebellion have in common with the War on Terror?
-
Why isn’t 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.
E-Book Version Only: Get access to special movie content from our writers right after the release of The Hunger Games end of March!
Already have the original edition? Get just the new content (including the special movie extra!) with the Booster Pack: for Kindle, Nook, or iBooks.
A Note from Diana on her contribution, “Hunger Game Theory”: I was fascinated by the way the players of the Hunger Games had studied and changed the way they participated over the years, creating “career tributes” or elaborate personal stories, true or otherwise, that might help them in the arena. Collins’ attention to detail in this matter was one of the highlights of the books for me, and showed a focus on the truth of how games are played that are missing in a lot of fictional games. This is what I examine in my essay, available only in the movie edition.

This sounds like a must read! I love these types of books, and I regret never buying “The Worlds of the Golden Compass,” and now Borders – along with that opportunity – is gone forever.
