The Hunger Games Prequel Introduced Katniss’ Grandmother – Theory Explained

One Hunger Games fan theory suggests that Suzanne Collins’ prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, has Lucy Gray related to Katniss Evergreen. The novel takes place decades before the events of The Hunger Games trilogy, following future President Coriolanus Snow’s involvement in the tenth Hunger Games as a mentor to the District 12 tribute. Although the Everdeen family is never mentioned in the book, several fun Easter eggs in the story have led to fan speculation that Katniss may be related to one of its characters.
