The Hunger Games also cleared the way for a YA tsunami. The book series, and the subsequent movies starring Jennifer Lawrence, challenged our views of female protagonists, class structure, and political involvement - and did so through accessible, engaging stories that, while aimed at young readers, captivated nearly all of the literary world. But, indeed, there was a time when none of it existed.įortunately, Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games novels have become YA canon.
