The Girl Who Was on Fire
While Suzanne Collins has come to the end of the line with The Hunger Games trilogy, fans can still read about their favorite characters from Panem in a new anthology of essays about The Hunger Games written by some of the best Young Adult authors around.
The Girl Who Was on Fire is a chance for readers to delve deeper into the world of The Hunger Games. Each eassy looks at ideas and topics and how they might relate to our present-day reality.
Editor Leah Wilson says:
At its core, the Hunger Games is a coming-of-age story, and not just for Katniss — it’s a coming-of-age story for Panem, and in a way, for us, its readers, as well. The series pushes us to grow up and take responsibility both personally and politcally for our choices [...] That’s a heavy message to take away from any book series, but an important one for all of us — whether we ourselves would be shelved under Young Adult or not.

The Girl Who Was on Fire: Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games Trilogy
Description
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.
The Girl Who Was On Fire covers all three books in the Hunger Games trilogy.

Nice, but I think I would like to see a book about Peeta and Katniss after the rebellion, how they came so close again.
Yes that would be awesome Syd
That would be pretty good, though I just read the first book, because here in Brazil was published only the first. The second will come out next month, finally. What made me read Hunger Games trillion times. (;
That sounds cool, yaahs, one abour Peeta would be exellent too.
Thanks. But really, you read the part and you want to know how they fell in love again. And more about there children and The capitol. Also Gale.
a whole other book taking place during the series but in the point of view of peeta instead of katniss would be a really cool addition
I Agree with Syd.
More about how they fell inlove and there kids, and also GALE.
that would make everything so much more interesting. to know what was going inside, that beautiful boys head… they shoukd so that
I think it would be interesting to read something about FINNICK ODAIR!!! Lol, I think he’s my favourite character!
Something more about he’s death,
Annie,
And of course he’s son!
I like to read about the other hunger games, for example the game where Haymitch was or Finnicks game
I just want that Hunger Games never ends.
Ok, they should have a book about there children. I mean, yeah they can do one in Peeta’s head, (Because that would be smexy.) and their children like, coming together, falling in love, and have something were they have to go across the sea and stop some outsiders from overtaking there country, now that I would read.
AND GALE!
It would be sweet if they made anouther book!!!!!!!! I would read it as soon as it came out.
