The Hunger Games Series

by
(172 reviews)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the ultimate Young Adult dystopian series. The books have been a worldwide phenomenon, selling millions of copies even before the 2012 blockbuster Hunger Games film adaptation, starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen. The first book was published in 2008 but a new book (prequel Sunrise on the Reaping) has just been published in 2025.
 
The books are set in Panem - an alternate world in the near future, where a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called The Hunger Games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed. 
 
The series follows sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen’s quest for survival, as she battles in the Games, fighting for her life, her family, her friends and her people. All the odds are stacked against them, but can Katniss, Peeta and Gale eliminate the Hunger Games once and for all?

Katniss' adventures span three books, culminating in Mockingjay. In 2020, a prequel to the Hunger Games trilogy was released – The Ballad of Songbird and Snakes - that tells the story of a young President Snow starting out as a mentor in the Games, aged 18.

These books are fantastic for readers 11+, whether they have seen the films or not and if you want more books like the Hunger Games, check out our blog 10 Books to read after the Hunger Games our list of the Best Adventure Book Series for 11 and 12 year olds and our list of the Best Magical and Fantasy Book Series for 11 and 12 year olds.
