Discover the Penguin books that shaped us

If you’re a Hunger Games fan, then move Starters straight to the top of your to-read pile – you’ll love it.

The concept is compulsively gruesome . . . Price develops her plot and characters with tight, punchy writing and a sure, confident touch. There must be a movie in this . . .

Readers who have been waiting for a worthy successor to Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games will find it here. Dystopian sci-fi at its best.

This bleak dystopian novel makes a compelling read . . . Grabs the reader's attention from the first page

Big dystopian acquisition set in an ageing, post-war world where youth is coveted at a near impossible price. The author's screenwriting day job is evident in the high-concept, high-octane plot. Sequel to follow this autumn.

The ambiguous and tantalizing ending to this original and exciting story signals a sequel.

First, Callie lost her parents. 
 
Then she lost her home. 
 
And, finally, she lost her body. 
 
But she will stop at nothing to get it back . . .
