Synopses

The Hunger Games

In Panem, the Capitol controls the districts by forcing them to provide two tributes for the annual Hunger Games, broadcast live. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen is chosen to represent her district and sees the arena as a death sentence. She is determined to outwit the creators of the Games.

Catching Fire

After winning the Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta return home hoping for peace, but their victory sparks rebellion. Forced onto the Capitol’s Victory Tour, they face rising stakes. They must convince the world they remain lost in love for each other, or face horrifying consequences.

Mockingjay

Katniss has survived the Hunger Games twice, yet safety still eludes her. The Capitol is furious and wants revenge, holding Katniss responsible for the unrest. President Snow makes it clear that her family, friends and the people of District 12 are also at risk.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

On the morning of the reaping for the tenth annual Hunger Games, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow prepares for his chance at glory as a mentor. With the Snow family fallen on hard times, his future depends on outcharming and outmanoeuvring fellow students. His aim is to mentor the winning tribute.

Sunrise on the Reaping

As the fiftieth annual Hunger Games dawns, fear spreads through Panem’s districts. For the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.

In District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is focused on getting through the day and being with the girl he loves, until his name is called. Taken to the Capitol with three other tributes from his district, he enters the arena believing he has been set up to fail, yet feels driven to fight in a way that reaches beyond the Games.
