The Hunger Games YA Book Series - Will This Become the Next Harry Potter Or Twilight?

The Hunger Games, a sci-fi novel by bestselling author, Suzanne Collins, was published on September 14, 2008. They have already become the hot ebooks for teens, having received great reviews and even better person to person buzz. Although categorized as "Young Adult", The Hunger Games, due to its violence, may be too intense for preteens. However, teens of every age group, and adults are eating it up. The author has two more books planned to produce a trilogy.

The Hunger Games occurs inside a postapocalyptic Earth in the (hopefully) very distant future. The actual games really are a mix of the reality show "Survivor" and the Coliseum of Ancient Rome. From the book jacket:

"In the ruins of a place once generally known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol encompassed by twelve outlying districts. Each and every year, the districts have by the Capitol to send one boy the other girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to be involved in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death, televised like Panem to see." The heroine of the book is 16 year old Katniss Everdeen. She takes her sister's invest the Hunger Games and then struggles with the fight to survive and life versus humanity and love.

The overwhelming sentiment by virtually all readers is because they can't put the book down. It can be fast paced and action packed. You can learn more about the Hunger Games at the Scholastic web site and on Amazon.
