Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.

Brennende ambisiøs. Besatt av konkurranse. Men makt har sin pris. Det er dagen for uttaket til de tiende Dødslekene. I Capitol håper Coriolanus Snow at han vil få sjansen til heder og ære ved å bli mentor i Lekene. Den en gang så mektige Snow-familien lider, skjebnen deres er avhengig av den lille sjansen Coriolanus har fått - til å sjarmere, overliste og utmanøvrere sine medstudenter. Alt for å bli mentor for den vinnende deltakeren. Oddsen er imot ham. Han ble tildelt jenta fra Distrikt 12, det laveste av det lave. Deres skjebner er nå sammenflettet - hvert valg Coriolanus tar kan føre til en fordel eller fiasko, triumf eller ruin. Inne på arenaen vil det bli en kamp til døden. På utsiden, begynner Coriolanus å føle noe for sin dødsdømte deltaker ... og han må veie nødvendigheten av å følge reglene opp mot sitt ønske om å overleve koste hva det koste vil.

Katniss og Peeta har overlevd dødslekene for andre gang, men Peeta har blitt tatt til fange av Capitol. Katniss har blitt fraktet til distrikt 13, og en revolusjon er i emning. For at opprøret skal lykkes må hun være en brikke i spillet og ta på seg et stort ansvar. Dette er den siste boken i trilogien Dødslekene.

Katniss og Peeta fra det fattige distrikt tolv har mot alle odds vunnet Dødslekene. Men seieren ble deres gjennom å trosse det mektige Capitol, og Capitol har tapt ansikt og autoritet. Det skjer ikke ustraffet. Et halvt år etter skal vinnerne ut på en seiersturné gjennom distriktene, der de tvinges til å møte familiene til sine drepte konkurrenter. Men det er noe som ulmer i befolkningen, og det går rykter om opprør i flere distrikter. Katniss og Peeta innser at de har en rolle i opprøret. Dette er andre bok i en trilogi.

USA finnes ikke lenger. Nord-Amerika er et mediestyrt diktatur som kontrolleres fra byen Capitol. Reglene for de årlige lekene er enkle: 24 deltagere i alderen tolv til atten år kjemper på liv og død på en enorm utendørs arena. Den siste deltageren som står levende igjen er vinneren - og spillet sendes direkte på TV. Dette er første bok i en trilogi.

Sequel to: Gregor and the prophecy of Bane.

When eleven-year-old Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats and giant cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. Gregor has a vital role to play in the Underland's uncertain future.

Spies have reported the sighting of a Rat King in the Underland. But when Gregor eventually comes face to face with the Rat King, he finds he is unable to kill him. Gregor's heart tells him he's making the right decision. Will it be one he lives to regret?

It's only a few months since Gregor and Boots returned from the Underland. Now Gregor must return to fulfill his role as the warrior who is key to the Underlanders' survival. Accompanied by his now-talkative little sister Boots, still considered the honorary "princess," Gregor joins forces with another princess to defend the Underlanders.

Gregor and Boots must return to the Underland to help ward off a plague. It is spreading fast, and when it claims one of Gregor's family, he begins to truly understand his role in the Prophecy of Blood. Gregor must summon all his power to end the biological warfare that threatens the fate of every warmblooded creature.

Everyone in the Underland has been taking great pains to keep The Prophecy of Time from Gregor. Gregor knows it must say somethin awful but he never imagined just how awful: it calls for the warior's death. Now, with an army of rats approaching, and his mum and sister still in Regalia, Gregor the warrior must gather up his courage...

"What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by?" -- Katniss Everdeen The Hunger Games trilogy captivates its audience through a storyline dominated by the quest for food, with the vast culinary disparity between the impoverished districts and the opulent Capitol taking center stage. Food is both a weapon and an act of love, and -- as in today's world -- it is essential to survival. Fortunately, most of us inhabit a more prosperous world than the tributes, one where food can appear with the press of a button or two.
