  The third book in the ground-breaking original

Hunger Games trilogy. Against

all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games

twice.  But now that she's made it out of the

bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry.

The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay

for the unrest? Katniss.

And what's worse, President Snow

has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's

family, not her friends, not the people of District 12.

'Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay

is every bit as complex and imaginative as Hunger Games and

Catching Fire.' Entertainment Weekly 'Suspenseful...

Collins' fans, grown-ups included, will race

to the end.' USA Today 'At its

best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984, the memorable

violence of A Clockwork Orange, the imaginative ambience of

The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness of Harry

Potter.' New York Times Book Review 'Unfolding

in Collins' engaging, intelligent prose and assembled

into chapters that end with didn't-see-that-coming cliffhangers,

this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears.

[Mockingjay] is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit

as original and thought provoking, as The Hunger Games. Wow.'-Los

Angeles Times 'This concluding

volume in Collins's Hunger Games trilogy accomplishes a rare feat,

the last installment being the best yet, a beautifully orchestrated

and intelligent novel that succeeds on every level.' Publishers

Weekly Three books, four films and

one worldwide phenomenon, The Hunger Games changed the

face of global YA.

All three of the Hunger Games

original novels have been made into major feature films, starring

Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson & Liam Hemsworth

The best-selling prequel to The

Hunger Games, The Ballad of Songbirds

and Snakes, was a global number one feature film

in autumn 2023 and a number one New York Times and The

Times bestseller in hardback in May 2020.
