Must Reads for Teens: The Hunger Games Series

Oct 29, 2021

Your teen may have already seen and loved the movies, but by diving into the bestselling book series The Hunger Games, they'll further witness Katniss Everdeen’s amazing journey as she transforms from an underdog to a fierce heroine ready to fight for her life, her family, and humanity.

These books teach older readers valuable lessons about strategy, friendship, and compassion — all while enriching their reading skills with astounding character development and beautifully nuanced plots. Boxed sets, such as The Hunger Games Trilogy Box Set: Paperback Classic Collection, are a great way to keep your teen reading without having to wait for the next book to arrive. They will be kept at the edge of their seat through all the twists and turns of the series. 

Beyond the original books in the trilogy, teens will also love the special editions and movie tie-ins included below. Check out The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which takes place in the world of Panem 64 years before the events of The Hunger Games.

Give these awe-inspiring reads to your child, and the odds of them becoming an avid reader will be ever in your favor.
