All they know is that every single morning, like clockwork, the walls open at sunrise and close at dusk. With danger at every turn, do the boys risk escaping through the Maze, or should they live out the rest of their lives trapped in their new home?

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 

Have you seen our amazing Hunger Games Trilogy series 4 Books Collection Set by Suzanne Collins? With the original series in a stunning paperback edition with a new cover and a hardcover edition of the prequel book A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The original trilogy follows the protagonist Katniss Everdeen who lives in District Twelve, one of the twelve districts surrounding the shining Capitol in a region of North America known as Panem. The Capitol is harsh and maintains order over the districts by forcing one boy and girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games- a fight to the death on live TV. Katniss takes her sister’s place in the Games, but if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity. 

The prequel, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, follows former president Coriolanus Snow in his youth as he prepares for his one shot at glory as a mentor for the Games. But the odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating task of mentoring the female tribute from District Twelve, the lowest of the low. With their fates now completely intertwined, every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to his favour or failure, triumph or ruin. 

The Chaos Walking Series by Patrick Ness

The Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness has been praised for its unique narration style and gritty action. The trilogy includes all three books in the series, including The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer and Monsters of Men, all included in a beautiful slipcase for easy storage. 

This series has been highly regarded for its white-knuckle journey of identity, power and acceptance. Now a major motion picture starring Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley and Mads Mikkelsen, read the book that started it all in this intriguing and action-packed series. 

The story follows young Todd Hewitt, the last boy living in a town of men. In this world, a race of alien species has landed, bringing with them a disease known as the Germ, which killed all the women and has altered the brains of the remaining men so that everyone can hear each other’s thoughts constantly. That is until Todd randomly stumbles upon a rare patch of silence and, with it, a girl. Where has she come from? Why wasn’t she killed with the rest of the women? Why can Todd not hear her thoughts? With all these questions buzzing in Todd’s mind, he knows the town has been hiding a sinister secret from him- something so awful that Todd is forced to flee with only his dog as company and now this mystery girl.
