But at the last second, they were both declared winners of the Hunger Games. Instead of killing Peeta, Katniss proposed they eat poisonous berries to kill themselves so that the Capitol would not have any victors. In the Hunger Games, after Peeta and Katniss were the only ones alive, it was announced that the change in rules had been revoked, and there could only be one victor. Their victory was partly secured because of Peeta's declaration of love for Katniss before the Games. Though only one tribute can win, a change in the rules allowed Peeta and Katniss to both win. 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.It has been six months since Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games, an annual event in which each district in Panem sends one female and one male tribute to fight to the death in a televised competition for food and money. Katniss' adventures span three books, culminating in Mockingjay.

All the odds are stacked against them, but can Katniss, Peeta and Gale eliminate the Hunger Games once and for all? 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. There is only one rule: kill or be killed. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called The Hunger Games. The books are set in Panem - an alternate world in the near future, where a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. 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 Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the ultimate Young Adult dystopian series.
