Short answer: Out of My Mind is the easiest, then Percy Jackson, then The Hunger Games.

Why:
- Out of My Mind (Sharon Draper) is written for middle-grade readers (about ages 8–12). It has simpler vocabulary, shorter sentences/chapters, and is the shortest of the three — good if you want straightforward prose.
- Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (Rick Riordan) is also middle-grade (about 9–12) and very fast-paced and engaging, with easy, conversational language — slightly more pages but still very accessible.
- The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins) is YA (12+). It’s still readable, but deals with darker themes and a bit more complex plotting and tone, making it the most challenging of the three.

If you tell me your age or what kind of story you prefer (realistic vs. fantasy vs. action), I can recommend the best pick for you.
