That's not the same, though.

Mockingjay is the title of the third book of what's called The Hunger Games trilogy.
The movies retain the titles of the book.
This isn't a retroactive decision. Check out this boxed set of the trilogy which was released in 2010 - two years before even the first movie came into the theaters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0545265355

The new "Lord of the Rings" TV series, however, is not part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy*.

Should they keep the LotR label, then it will undoubtedly be because of brand recognition, as you imply. But it won't be the same as the Mockingjay example.

A better analogy would be to call the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them films "Harry Potter". Only instead of the time gap being two generations it would be two millennia (or so).

* I'm calling it trilogy for the sake of this discussion; I'm aware that it isn't supposed to be a trilogy

I get so excited seeing the prices drop. One I had a backpack on my list for $30 and it dropped 50% that was a great deal :)

I would love The Hunger Games #1 (on my Books and Under $15 lists) because I want a complete set of the trilogy and someone borrowed the first book from me and never returned it lol.

Thank you for the contest!

{{the graveyard book}} is also an amazing choice. {{stardust neil gaiman}} {{anansi boys}} also good book by the same guy. Touching Spirit Bear i read in highschool.

>because you don't like how Amazon made the Kindle work?

Nah, that's not the only reason. The last book that I pirated was because the ebook version was a dollar more than the hardcover version. The publishers can fuck right off too.

Hello Everyone!

My new YA book Talk will be available for FREE on Saturday November 3

All her life Susie Hale was told not to ask questions. Not to talk. Don't wake your sister.

The silence was killing her. That was all she had. No answers. Silence. Pretend that nothing was wrong. That everything was all part of the adventure. Moving from one small town to another, living out of a car, and later on the streets.

Her father, George Hale a charming man, who chose to live an unconventional life, and stubbornly forced those ideals on his family.

He drank. He would pick fights. He would disappear for days on end only to return and uproot them from their life and they would find some new place to live. The Hales lived on the run for years, always looking over their shoulder. As the family fractured, Susie and her sister Mary had to stick together as they weathered their parents' lies, abuse, and found the will to set out on their own and make a life for themselves. The silence was killing Susie. It was time to talk.

When I was younger, I suffered some childhood problems of my own. this book always made me feel better. Dunno why, it's a damn depressing book.

I've heard Hunger Games is pretty good but it has a lot of violence. 12 might be a little young for that. Then again, at that age I was watching heads explode in Unreal Tournament and Counterstrike, so maybe not.

Depending on how mature he is, some thrillers would be good... can't really think of any off the top of the head because it's not my genre, but if you find one without sex (I think 12's a little young for sex) then it'd be cool. Like Rainbow Six or something... but again, that's violent, though not gruesome.

Ender's Game would also be awesome, though he'd probably miss out on some of the deeper themes.

You said he lacks empathy... I think most 12 year olds do as well. Think about how cruel kids can be in middle school. Being mean to each other because they've got self-esteem problems... That's probably the worst age. I think it's worse for boys. Just a thought to ease your concerns a bit.

Still, reading never hurts. I just thought of The Name of the Wind, it's awesome and is perfect for someone that age. You should really check that one out. It's a 3 part series but the 3rd part hasn't been published yet. Really entertaining book though.
