From the screenwriting process to the casting decisions to the elaborate sets and costumes to the actors’ performances and directors’ vision, this is the definitive companion to the breathtaking film.”

Scholastic has announced a new Hunger Games: Collector’s Edition that will be released as a special gift edition for the holiday season. The box is available for pre-order from Amazon right now for $20.56 and is eligible for free Super Saver Shipping.

We do not know much yet about the gift set except that the set will include a “special slipcase featuring exclusive new mockingjay artwork.” We’ll post more as we get more information.

The Hunger Games: Collector’s Edition will be released November 28, 2011.

The third and final book of the Hunger Games Trilogy, Mockingjay, will be released August 24, 2010. It is currently available for pre-order on Amazon for $8.49 (free Super Saver Shipping available). Here’s what we know so far from the description:

“Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena alive, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what’s worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss’s family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins’s groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.”
