Showing results for "The Hunger" in Teen & Young Adult

Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a brand-new special edition recording of the first audiobook in the worldwide best-selling trilogy from Suzanne Collins! In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding. It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans - except Katniss.

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

Suzanne Collins maakte in de zomer van 2019 bekend dat er een prequel komt op haar internationale bestsellerserie De Hongerspelen. Het boek zal zich 64 jaar voor de gebeurtenissen in de rest van de reeks afspelen, op de vooravond van de tiende Hongerspelen. Katniss Everdeen, de heldin uit de trilogie, zal dus niet in het verhaal voorkomen, maar Collins legt de focus in dit boek op de zogeheten 'donkere dagen' van Panem, vlak na de eerste - en mislukte - opstand tegen het Capitool.

Katniss e Peeta, representantes do paupérrimo Distrito 12, não apenas venceram os Jogos, mas ridicularizaram o governo e conseguiram fazer todos – incluindo o próprio Peeta – acreditarem que são um casal apaixonado.
