Smart Pop Books released a movie edition of The Girl Who Was On Fire – Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collin’s Hunger Games Trilogy last January 17.
The Girl Who Was on Fire – Movie Edition includes three brand new essays to take readers even deeper into this challenging YA phenomenon.
Katniss Everdeen’s adventures may have come to an end, but her story continues to blaze in the hearts of millions worldwide . . . especially with the highly anticipated March 2012 release of the film version of The Hunger Games, starring Jennifer Lawrence.
In The Girl Who Was on Fire, thirteen YA authors take you back to Panem with moving, dark, and funny pieces on Katniss, the Games, Gale and Peeta, reality TV, survival, and more. From the trilogy’s darker themes of violence and social control to fashion and weaponry, the collection’s exploration of the Hunger Games reveals exactly how rich, and how perilous, protagonist Katniss’ world really is.
• How does the way the Games affect the brain explain Haymitch’s drinking, Annie’s distraction, and Wiress’ speech problems?
• What does the rebellion have in common with the War on Terror?
• Why isn’t the answer to “Peeta or Gale?” as interesting as the question itself?
• What should Panem have learned from the fates of other hedonistic societies throughout history—and what can we?CONTRIBUTORS: Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Mary Borsellino, Sarah Rees Brennan, Terri Clark, Bree Despain, Adrienne Kress, Sarah Darer Littman, Cara Lockwood, Elizabeth M. Rees, Carrie Ryan, Ned Vizzini, Lili Wilkinson, Blythe Woolston, Diana Peterfreund (NEW), Brent Hartinger (NEW), Jackson Pearce (NEW)

*Open to International fans
I would love to win because im the biggest hunger games FAN! I, like, cool them off…. Haha…
I would love to win because I cannot express how much I am in love with the Hunger games ! My books are tattered and torn because I have lent them to so many people and forced them to read them,making them massive fans too ! My friend calls me “The Offical Hunger Games Trilogy Promoter” because i tell people about the books at every opportunity ! :L
May the odds be ever in my favour ;o
I deserve to win a copy of this book because I truly am the biggest Hunger Games fan ever! I love the books so much, I have read the series 8 times and I just can not get enough. I want to read them again! I really want a copy of this book because it would mean the world to me. I really never liked reading until I found the Hunger Games and now they are the only books I ever read. The moment I finshed Mocking Jay I stared reading the first book again! I would really appreciate it if I got a copy. As I am in love with the trilogy!
I think I should win a book because I’m a die-hard fan and I re-read the trilogy every three weeks! So far I’ve read the books six times apiece. #teampeeta
I think i should win because i read the triligy got tons of people into reading it i connected with the charactar peeta a lot and i think i will carry the expirience of reading it watching it with me forever i had a dream i was in the hunger games once i cant stop thinking bout it EVER i just it blew me away if i dont win i WILL do what katniss did while she was in trial and KILL my self
I would definitely love to win because I am a very big Hunger Games fan. It is honestly all I could think about ever since the first book. It is all I look up every second of everyday while I am on the internet — not exaggerating. I join every possible giveaway since there are no available merch here in my place. But all in all, I think everyone deserves to win. It’s just a matter of whose favor the odds are in.
I’d love to get this because, though I only found the books quite recently and finished them off at 12:17 am on Saturday night, I am already a big fan. Every time I see something related to Hunger Games I get butterflies and after finishing the last book I’ve been in this stage of depression due to the fact that I know there’s going to be no more. But I have excitement about the movies too, and I know that I will ‘stay with them’ ‘always’. The Hunger Games is my next Harry Potter (and this is a huge thing for me to say, as Harry Potter is my love and will ‘always’ be) but this time it feels right to say that I’ll be with Katniss until the very end (I started Harry Potter very late (2009/10).
Over all I’d really like to win because I’m already obsessed and the more to fuel the obsession the better.
May the odds be ever in your favour!

I love The Hunger Games very much and we don’t really have any merchandises here in my country so it would be wonderful to actually have some.
I think that I should win because the Hunger Games have played a major role in my life. Usually the winter months are hard on me (I’m a sunshine kind of girl). But, this winter I’ve had the Hunger Games to keep me company! When the unwelcoming cold grey and skies overtake my happiness I reach for the Hunger Games and place myself in a remarkably different place…
Thank you for holding the contest! I hope that I win!
I think that i should win the “The Girl Who Was on Fire movie edition, because i am obsessed with this series. My friends think im crazy because I’ve read all three books twice, and im reading them again before the movie comes out in 52 days:-) im sooooooooooooooo excited to see the movie and winning would make reading this series even more amazing sine I’ve been wanting to read this book for awhile. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME WIN!!!!!!!!!!! <3 HUNGER GAMES <3
I would love to win because I have been a fan of the trilogy since Day 1. I have read all three multiple times and have been looking forward to the movie for what seems like FOREVER!! I am also collecting as many copies of the stickers for the movie from GetGlue as possible. To say this is an obsession is an understatement!
My best friend gave me the first novel of the trilogy for my birthday.
That night I went home and couldn’t sleep, so I started the book.
I stayed up the whole night, until I finished it. I bought the next novel that same day (after I caught up on my sleep!)
I’m such an avid fan. And although I’m Team Gale (sorryyyy, Peeta’s not for me) I adore the novels. I would be ecstatic to get win this book. And after reading it, I’d return the favor/gift, and give it to my best friend, who gave me the first novel for my birthday! (:
I’d like to win a copy because I’m an absolute fan of the series. In my country it’s impossible to get anything related to The Hunger Games but the books themselves. It would be great to win a copy!
I think I should win a copy of “The Girl Who Was on Fire” movie edition, because I would love to be in depth with The Hunger Games! I want to have that feeling of excitement and anxiousness, and feeling of falling of my chair when I read more! I would do ANY contest and try to win any of The Hunger Games stuff:P Because The Hunger Games is THE BEST. It can’t even compare to the others! #Team Peeta.
I should win because I think I am the biggest hunger games fan there is!
That book changed my life. I couldn’t live with out it, it saved my life and i can’t express to you how much I love this book and how much it affected me. I have watched the trailer 74 times and every time I watch it I cry and SCREAM my head off!!!!! Omg there really are no words to describe that book it is just incredible!!!!!!When ever i try to explain how much and why i love it I just.. I have NO WORDS. March 23rd is going to be the best day of my life! ♥ ♥ ♥ AND HOW IT AFFECTED ME…… OMG I RLLY DONT THINK ANYONE HAS EVER LOVED ANYTHING AS MUCH AS I FREAKING LUV THESE BOOKS AND I DONT KNOW WHY… I LUV THAT GIRL ON FIRE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!! I couldn’t live with out those books and if I’m ever having a hard time just seeing anything to do with the books cheers me right back up and it changes everything!!!!! I was so sad when the series ended I felt like I had nothing else to live for but if I won I would be able to have some more things to read and to make the magic go on for longer 
I AM COMPLETELEY OBSESSED WITH THE BOOKS!!!!!! I don’t go a single second with out thinking about them I talk about them sooo much ( I really annoy people with it actually) 
I have over 400 pictures of the hunger games on my Ipod and everywhere. If I won it would mean the world to me!!!! I have my very own Mockingjay Pin that I made my self because I couldn’t afford one of the real ones, I wear it everyday because it represents everything that I love and makes me happy and helps me get through all the tough times. I will always love these books I am a truly the biggest fan!!! <3 <3 <3 Thank you guys so much for making this contest!
Well, I’ve seen some people arguing for their age, so I’m just going to drop in that I’m 24. Not only have I been able to look at The Hunger Games series from the analytical point of view that these authors (I’ve read the non-movie version) point of view, I’ve been able to draw people that would usually avoid popular young adult fiction into discussions of the world of Panem, and eventually to the series.
To be perfectly honest, I am not really sure how this series is classified as Young Adult, unless these themes go right over younger fans’ heads.
I think I should win because The Hunger Games is my obsession. I read all three books in under 12 hours. I didn’t sleep, I didn’t eat, I didn’t talk to anyone, I didn’t move off my bed. I sat there and cried and read the books. I think they are the most beautiful, amazing, well written perfect, fantastic book out there. I just can’t explain my love for them.
I am a huge fan of The Hunger Games Trilogy. I have read the three books (a lot of times already) and of course reading The Girl Who Was On Fire will be really great. I would also love to pass the book on to those who haven’t read the trilogy yet, so that I could share the wonder The Hunger Games has given me.
I am going to die. I just typed a huge response and it’s all gone because I accidentally pasted >.< But anyways…. I am a huge fan, and have been ever since I read the first few pages of the first book. I was immediately sucked into Katniss' world. I laughed at Haymitch as if I was there, I was nervous when Katniss was doing her first interview with Ceasar, and I bawled my eyes out when Rue died. I obsessed forever, but I obsessed alone, because my friends hadn't read the books yet. This year, I finally get to share inside jokes about the Hunger Games, randomly
quote the book, and share my excitement about the movie. We are well known in our class as the totally obsessed, almost crazy with excitement, HG fans. We are obsessed and we are proud! Today, someone said that they got the entire HG trilogy for their b-day (I thought, BEST GIFT EVAAAR!!!) and it was the worst gift ever. Us Tributes sat dumbfounded and one of my friends Erin almost exploded. They woukd be so happy if I shared the book with them! It would be so nice to make them so joyful! And I would definitely love to read it myself plenty of times. I <3 the hunger games!!!!
I have read the Hunger Games Trilogy 3 times!
I live and breathe Hunger Games
I know anything and everything about the books!
I have met Josh Hutcherson
I WOULD LOVE TO GET A COPY OF “THE GIRL ON FIRE” I WILL READ IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!
I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES!!
THE HUNGER GAMES IS MY LIFE!?
My two teenaged daughters got me hooked on the trilogy! They have both read the trilogy two or three times! We would love and appreciate a copy of “The Girl Who Was On Fire”. Thank you for offering it!!! Both of my daugters are born in February and it would be an awesome birthday gift!
I hope I am not too late for this.

Good Luck xx
I think I should win a copy because although I’ve only been a fan for a short while, it’s been so intense! Nearly all I think about is Katniss and Peeta and Delly and sometimes that stupid Tribute 8 girl who lit a fire. I recently did January exams and I really should have been revising over the christmas break, but instead I read. And I read them all over about four days. All I could do for those four days and the next week or so was cry and laugh and just be generally happy that I had finally been introduced to this beautiful, beautiful world, despite the fact that I may have just failed all my exams for it! This book looks amazing and even if I don’t win a copy I am sure as hell buying one – I am a massive fan of psychology, philosophy, history and literature. This pretty much looks like it’s taken all my favourite things in the world and smushed them into one unit of awesome.
I would like to win a copy because I don’t own one yet and I absolutely LOVE the Hunger Games. I wear my mockingjay pin everyday and I own all the books. I can’t wait for the movie and I would love to have this book to go with my other HG books
Thanks for the chance to partake in this giveaway and i hope i made it before the deadline. Good luck to all !
I absolutely love the Hunger Games series. (I’m getting ready to start it for the 3rd time!) I can’t get enough of the whole story and absolutely can’t wait for the movie to come out. This book sounds VERY interesting and I want to see other peoples thoughts on the series. Everyone I know who has read the book has different thought about it and what Panem would be like after Mockingjay, so I’d love to see what authors have come up with to answer some of our questions, give insight to the effects on the games, and explore the famous love triangle of Katniss, Gale, and Peeta. Please choose me to win this book!!! thank you!
I am a fan on facebook and I follow on twitter (@ToriMichel) and I should win this book because I’m a stay at home mom, and this is the first book series I’ve had time to really dive into and adore since my son was born. Yes, that means I missed out on Twilight and Harry Potter. So please pick me, if only for pity’s sake. Thank you.
i hope im not too late for this.
i am the biggest fan of the hunger games. there are no bigger fans than me. i would love to win this book. ive read all of the books multiple times and i would be honored to win this book
Ever since I began reading this trilogy I have been obsessed. I admire the books strong moral message but I also sympathize and feel i really know all the characters. Why they act the way they do, how they feel and when I read the books it brings me to a place outside my comfort zone,yet, it’s so enticing I want to be there in the arena and experience true fear. I feel i connected with this book entirely the plots, themes and especially the characters, Peeta’s never ending kindness, Gale’s strength and power and Katniss’s smoldering personality. This book drew deep emotions from myself that I never imagined I could feel for a book.
I would love to have this book!!! I just love this book! After ive finished reading the trilogy,i always dream of having a collecton of hunger games merchandise! From the most expensive one to the smallest and cheapest keychain!!! But i know it will remain a dream because i dont have money to buy all this. . . So im hoping that i will be lucky enough to win this one. . . Atleast i have the hope of having this one as a remembrance of how hunger games once filled my wide imagination!!!
The best kind of books make you laugh, cry, grin stupidly, clench your teeth in anger, drop your mouth open in surprise, stay up late into the night, and make you sit and ponder the story for days after you finish it. The Hunger Games did that to me.
I would love to win a copy because I have never had enough money to buy books, I would always have to hope there’s a cheap used copy at our town’s used books here in Anchorage, Alaska, or I could either wait in line at the library’s list.
I’m busy reading college textbooks, but if I win a copy, I would love to read it despite my school stuff.
I follow you guys on my facebook.
I really hope I can still enter. These books are my life. I’m in love with this trilogy. I read it for the 8th time last week, and it still impacted me the same way it did when I first read it. It helped me through a tough time in my life. I talk about it on a daily basis, and its practically all I think about. This would make my day if I won this book. I would love it. Thanks for the chance to enter!
This looks cool…good luck to me
The Hunger Games is not just a seiries of books, it’s my life!
I live and breathe Hunger Games!
I know anything and everything about the seiries!
I am reading seiries for the 3rd time!
I have never been as excited as I am now, to watch The Hunger Games!
To win The Girl on Fire would be one of the best things that would have happened to me!
I think I deserve to win, because I love hearing what other authors have to say about my favorite books series. I like to see their opinions and see what they compare to the book they are talking about. I use books like these to find new authors to read and- at the moment- I’m trying to find another great books series to read since I’ve re-read the Hunger Games so many times and my copies are looking a bit beat up….
I would like to win a copy because after I read it I plan on donating it to my high school library!
I really love the Hunger Games. They are literally my life. I love them so much but I never have time to go out and look for new books and I can definitly cant afford it. I think I should win one of these books because I am a loyal fan to your website, I love you guys, I am always getting my Hunger Games information from you guys!
I think I deserve a copy of this book because I am a big fan of The Hunger Games. I re-read the series whenever I can. I’m obsessed with the series because it’s so beautiful & heartbreaking. I never stop talking about it. So to win a copy of this book would make me extremely happy- because The Hunger Games Series means everything to me.
I think I should get a copy of the book because they are everything to me they made me love reading!! When the series ended I literally cried! I have re-read the Hunger Games books so many times that I cant count. The Hunger Games really inspired me in every way possible. I have drawn pictures of Katniss and Peeta together and alone I love these books soooo much!!! I cant live without
them!! they have influenced my life in a way I cant describe. It would mean the world to me I got
copy of the “The Girl Who Was On Fire” Movie Edition!!! thank you so much for giving me the chance to win it <3
It’s sad, cause I can see that I will ever win this. My english is not that good..I can’t really express me very good in english. But the thing is, that even if I could write this in my own language, I wouldn’t be able to write how much I love The Hunger Games. That’s why I want to win. I love The Hunger Games and all the characters – I can’t describe how much. I’m thinking of the books every day, I’m exremely exited for the movie and I would just get so happy, if I could be the lucky winner for once. I’m so glad that I have this chance to win! The Hunger Games – The books that changes..everything…!
I have enjoyed this series and can’t wait to watch the movies. I have read the series many times and fall in love with the series over and over again. I would like to thank you for the giveaway:)
