A teenage girl saddles up to take on worldwide famine -- and her own anorexia -- in a "fast-paced, witty, and heart-breaking" fantasy adventure (Richelle Mead, #1 New York Times-bestselling author)

Jackie Morse Kessler's Riders of the Apocalypse series follows teens who are transformed into the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In Hunger, Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she's been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen?

Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home -- her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power -- and the courage to fight her own inner demons? A wildly original approach to the issue of eating disorders, Hunger is about the struggle to find balance in a world of extremes and uses fantastic tropes to explore a difficult topic that touches the lives of many teens.

"A great book... funny and sad, brilliant and tragic, and most of all, it speaks the truth. I adore it." -- Rachel Caine, New York Times-bestselling author

"It was sheer genius to combine the eating disorder anorexia with the ultimate entity signifying lack of food, nourishment and all that that entails: famine." -- New York Journal of Books

"The storytelling is both realistic and compassionate." -- School Library Journal, (starred review)
