Suzanne Collins on the Hunger Games

Our favorite author, Suzanne Collins has fronted the camera again, to post a new video on the Scholastic website, answering some questions about The Hunger Games series.  It comes as news that the final book in the series, Mockingjay has debuted on all US bestseller lists and is already going into a second printing.  Mockingjay is now at number 1 on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.  In just its first week on sale in the US, it’s sold more than 450,000 copies in hardcover and eBook. 

President of Scholastic Trade Publishing division, Ellie Berger says that after months of anticipation, sales of Mockingjay have exceeded all expectations.

The Hunger Games has been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 100 consecutive weeks since its release in September 2008. Its sequel, Catching Fire, has been on the bestseller list for over 50 weeks in a row since its September 2009 publication.
