This new edition in Lucent's People in the News series details Collins's life before The Hunger Games - the first eighteen years of her writing career in television, and her well-received children’s book series called The Underland Chronicles - as well as the phenomenal and unexpected success of the Hunger Games series. So far 8.2 million copies of Collins’s Hunger Games books have sold and, after the release of a movie in 2012, sales figures are only expected to climb.; Offering insight into the lives of people who have made an impact in the modern era, People in the News volumes are sure to be of interest to students researching current topics and popular culture. Through quotations from the individual profiled as well as from friends, supporters, and critics, readers learn how these men and women view themselves as well as how other regard them. Each book in this series includes sidebars, photographs, annotated bibliographies, timelines, and comprehensive indexes.
