With the Hunger Games movie just a month and a half away (not that there’s a count down or anything), SmartPop books is re-releasing their anthology of essays on the series, The Girl Who was on Fire. This isn’t just a reissue to come out with the movie; this edition contains new essays from authors like Brent Hartinger, Jackson Pearce, and Diana Peterfreund. Take a look at the other contributors, too. It’s a powerhouse of current YA authors who know what they’re talking about.

I’m looking forward to diving into this one, especially given that Janssen wrote about how much she loved the collection last year. What a great book to sink into before seeing it on the big screen.

Thanks to the generosity of Sarah Darer Littman, who contributed one of the essays in the book, we’re giving away a copy here at STACKED. It’s open only to US and Canadian residents, and I’ll pull a winner on Feruary 29 — in time for the winner to dig into this before the film.
