Publisher's Note
Praised by writers from Stephen King to Stephenie Meyer, Suzanne Collins' New York Times bestselling Hunger Games trilogy is dark, captivating and deeply thought-provoking. Part straight-up survivalist adventure, part rich allegory and part political thriller, the series has become a new YA favorite. A film version of the first book, The Hunger Games, is currently in development. The Girl Who Was on Fire offers even more to think about for teen readers already engrossed by the Hunger Games. From the trilogy's darker themes of violence and social control to reality television,fashion and weaponry, the collection's exploration of the Hunger Games by other YA writers reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous, protagonist Katniss' world really is.

This book is for those who can't let go. After you finished Mockingjay and then you couldn't stop thinking about it wishing it wasn't over. This book is not by Collins but by various YA authors that each take on a different subject to explore. Most of them I really enjoyed, but there were a couple I didn't care for and found boring (so I took one star away). Overall though, I really liked it because it allowed me to sink back into the story for a while, opening my eyes to things I didn't think about and also re-discover some things I already forgot. It may also be helpful for those who were dissappointed with the ending of the Trilogy or want more closure. Definitely recommeded. By the way I'm not a YA but in my forties.
