Suzanne Collins
Author of The Hunger Games
Interesting Things:
1. In an online interview, Collins said that she believes that young people should read because it is an "opportunity for your mind to meet the writer's mind and grab it."
2. The Hunger Games has been translated into 26 languages and rights have been sold in 38 countries.
3. There are more than 16 million copies of all three books of the Hunger Games trilogy in print in the U.S. alone.
"The Hunger Games is as close to perfect an adventure novel as I've ever read. I could not put it down. Collins has transformed the ancient Labyrinth myth into a terrifyingly believable tale of future America. Readers will be hungry for more."
--Rick Riordan, author of The Percy Jackson Series and The 39 Clues
