Description:

Featured on PBS’s The Great American Read in 2018

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Suzanne Collins’ extraordinary, worldwide-bestselling trilogy has captivated readers and listeners around the world. The Hunger Games trilogy is now available in a special edition MP3-CD collection.

The Hunger Games Catching Fire Mockingjay

This collection includes all three novels in striking new packaging, as well as special features such as:

  • An exclusive interview with author Suzanne Collins!
  • Collector’s edition packaging which features the mockingjay symbol from each of the books.
  • Three window-cling decals—each one containing the mockingjay symbol and a well-known quote from the books. Great for sticking to laptops, tablets, and more!
