Meh, I tried the Scholastic site once for another book. The user experience was awful. Broken links, outdated flash content, redirects. I gave up and went to Amazon. For 'The Hunger Games,' I’d recommend the same. Don’t waste your energy on the publisher’s portal when a perfectly good, reliable preview exists on platforms designed for easy reading.
It’s a lesson in using the path of least resistance. The goal is to read the sample, not to have a pilgrimage to the publisher’s website.

I appreciate that the samples are truly free—no credit card, no trial sign-up, nothing. It’s a clean, risk-free way to assess the book. That’s a consumer-friendly practice that Scholastic and other big publishers have standardized, and we shouldn’t take it for granted.

Final thought: the existence of free samples is a win for readers. We can try before we buy, reducing disappointment. Scholastic, as a children’s/YA publisher, probably sees extra value in this—parents and teachers can vet content. So yes, they provide it, and it’s a good thing they do.

What about translated editions? If you’re looking for a sample in another language, the local publisher’s site might be the best source. Scholastic US might only host the English sample. For other languages, check the relevant publisher, though retailer samples still work well.

"Althea."
I still. I shiver. He says my name like it's sacred, like it's an oath he's swearing.
He tilts his head to the side, eyes roaming over my face. "Tell me," he murmurs, "what do you want me to call you?"
My eyes slowly meet his, confused by his question. "What do you want to call me?"
"I want to call you mine.”

Althea Gray is a bullied omega who has fought for survival at every turn of her entire life.
When she discovers her boyfriend of three years has been cheating on her, heartbreak is the least of her problems.
She's been chosen for the deadly Mate Games, a brutal competition where females from all parts of the kingdom, fight for the chance to win the favor and heart of the ruthless Alpha prince.
Prince Asher Valebrook is as cold as his ice-blue stare, and he has no interest in love.
Althea knows better than to want him, but a reckless one-night stand might seal her fate. Though she and Asher claim to hate each other, the line between love and hate is dangerously thin. With betrayals lurking in every shadow and survival far from guaranteed, Althea must play the game wisely.
But in a palace built on blood and lies, winning Asher's heart might be the deadliest challenge of all.

I lost the girl, the love of my life.
I lost my family.
Now I’m lost.
I thought after the war for Riocht, life would get back to normal.
I was so very, very wrong.
Kellen, now King of the werewolves, thought after Lamia and Mathias claimed the throne and became the King and Queen of shifters, life would go on as normal. That he would rule his kingdom and search for his own mate and live happily ever after.
There was still so much to do. He still hadn’t completely taken control of his position as King, leaving his father’s Beta and Delta in charge. Kingdoms and packs still needed to be repaired; he still needed to be officially crowned.
And he still needed to grieve the death of his parents.
Kellen wakes up to find himself on a boat, going to Goddess knows where and the last thing he remembers is saying goodbye to Lamia and heading home with Mike.
When he finds himself in a strange land, sold to a bloody thirsty Alpha and his deranged Luna, for their packs entertainment, his title, means nothing. A man who cares only for three things; the games, the money, and blood; the more shed the better.
While Lamia and Mike search for him on the wrong continent Kellen is thrust into the Gladiator games. Kellen fights for his survival and the lives of many, including one beautiful girl who has captured his heart and has been promised to another as their chosen mate.
Can Kellen survive the Gladiator games when the odds are stacked against him, save the people and claim the mate the moon goddess promised him?

If they catch her, they can claim her, body, blood, and soul.

Because she won't just survive the Games...
She'll bend the beasts to their knees

The Alpha Games is a werewolf romance story, with a kickass lead and an enemies-to-lovers twist.
Heartbreak is supposed to kill a wolf’s spirit, but Aria Vale refuses to die quietly.
Humiliated before her entire pack when her fated mate publicly rejects her, Aria returns home, shattered and furious, only to find a black envelope waiting on her bed. Inside lies an invitation to a deadly challenge known only as The Game:
“Survive, and win what your heart desires most.”
With nothing left to lose, Aria enters a realm beyond her world, an ancient castle suspended between life and death, where each dawn brings a new trial of survival. Competitors vanish one by one, hunted by the magic that governs the Game.
But not everyone is what they seem. One contestant, a charming, infuriatingly optimistic wolf named Kael, seems more interested in keeping her alive than winning himself. His warmth disarms her, his smiles irritate her, and his secrets could destroy them both.
Now Aria must survive the trials, outsmart the goddess who created them, and decide what freedom truly means: breaking her bond to the mate who betrayed her, or risking everything for the wolf who was never supposed to love her.
The practicalities are all covered here, so I’ll just nod in agreement. It’s a clear yes. The system works exactly as advertised. It’s a low-friction, high-reward aspect of modern reading. I hope the OP grabs the sample and enjoys the plunge into Panem. It’s a ride from the very first page.
You can read the first chapter free right on the publisher's website, Scholastic, if I remember right. They often host excerpts to promote their big titles. Also, check out sites like Goodreads; sometimes they have previews embedded. It's a low-risk way to see if the tense, first-person present narration works for you. I found the opening really hooks you with Katniss's voice immediately.
The sheer omnipresence of this sample is a testament to the book's status. It's a classic, so every platform wants to be the one to give you that first taste. You really can't go wrong. Just pick the icon on your phone's home screen that you tap most often for reading-related stuff, and you'll likely find it within two searches.
If you're a student, teacher, or in academia, check JSTOR or other scholarly databases. You won't find the full novel, but you might find critical essays that include cited passages. Reading those excerpts in an analytical context gives you a deep, if fragmented, look at the prose.
It's a very niche approach, but it combines literary analysis with sampling.
