Rick Riordan’s books show a different sales pattern, because a movie is not currently driving sales (the first film from his Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Lightning Thief, was released in 2010 Sea of Monsters is due in theaters this August). Clearly-as previously demonstrated by Twilight and Harry Potter-while a hot movie franchise is ongoing, demand for the books is unrelenting. Back in 2010, Hunger Games books sold 4.3 million copies, which jumped to 9.2 million in 2011 that number tripled in 2012, making for a 201% increase over previous year sales. Though the Hunger Games was already a huge phenomenon before the March 2012 release of the Lionsgate film, the movie launched book sales into the stratosphere. The only series with higher digital sales, for either adults or children, was Fifty Shades of Grey at 14+ million-soft-core porn edging out kids battling to the death. The original Hunger Games title sold 11.7 million copies on its own (903,000 in hardcover, 6.2 million in paperback, and 4.6 million digitally). Of that print number, 8.8 million was for hardcovers, since only the first of the three books is available in paperback.

In 2012 Suzanne Collins’s dystopian trilogy sold an astounding 27.7 million copies: 15 million print books and 12.7 million e-books. Its performance far exceeded all other books for children and teens. For children’s books, without a doubt, the Hunger Games was the story of the year.
