THE GIRL WHO WAS ON FIRE (MOVIE EDITION)

Leah Wilson

Leah Wilson
Author Book List

Katniss Everdeen’s adventures may have come to an end, but
her story continues to blaze in the hearts of millions
worldwide . . . especially with the highly anticipated March
2012 release of the film version of The Hunger Games,
starring Jennifer Lawrence.

In The Girl Who Was on Fire - Movie Edition, sixteen YA
authors take you back to the world of the Hunger Games with
moving, dark, and funny pieces on Katniss, the Games, Gale
and Peeta, reality TV, survival, and more. From the
trilogy's darker themes of violence and social control to
fashion and weaponry, the collection's exploration of the
Hunger Games reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous,
Panem really is.

• How does the way the Games affect the brain explain
Haymitch’s drinking, Annie’s distraction, and Wiress’ speech
problems?

• What does the rebellion have in common with the War on
Terror?

• Why isn’t the answer to “Peeta or Gale?” as interesting as
the question itself?

• What should Panem have learned from the fates of other
hedonistic societies throughout history—and what can we?
