THE HUNGER GAMES Prequel Novel Title and Story Details Revealed
The Hunger Games books and movies were a huge success for the author and at the box office. I enjoyed both, and now we have information about the prequel novel that is coming up, with a name and the cover art for the book. On Friday, the author, Suzanne Collins, appeared on Good Morning America and revealed that the book will be called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Here’s the synopsis for the story:
Set 64 years before the events of Katinss’ revolution in the original series, Ballad will revolve specifically around the events of the 10th Hunger Games—Panem’s battle royale event where kids of its myriad districts are randomly selected to take part in a murderous fight for survival—and the slow recovery the dystopian nation state took after a deadly war nearly destroyed it.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is set to hit bookshelves on May 19, 2020, and we will keep an ear out for news of a film adaptation, as Lionsgate has said another film in the franchise could be an option.
Are you a fan of the series? Are you excited for this addition to the story?
