The Next Hunger Games Novel Is Called The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes

It seems we finally have the title of the new Hunger Games book. The next Hunger Games novel is called, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Set 64 years before the events of Katniss' revolution, Ballad will revolve specifically around the events the 10th Hunger Games. According to the author, Suzanne Collins, the story once again focuses on Panem's battle royale pitting kids against each district in a murderous fight for their lives and the slow recovery the dystopian nation state took after a deadly war nearly destroyed it.

According to io9.com, The book’s cover, featuring the series’ traditional Mockingbird looking upwards to the sky, is meant to be representative of Collins’ approach to Ballad’s message, which, according to statements in a provided press release by Scholastic President Ellie Berger, “raises important questions about authority, the use of violence, and the truth of human nature.”

I don't know about you but I'm excited to read this! The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is set to be published by Scholastic May 19, 2020.
