The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping

Sunrise on the Reaping, the fifth book in the series, willrevisit the world of Panem twenty-four years before the eventsof The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of theFiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.

"Sunrise on the Reaping is a propulsive, heart-wrenching
addition to The Hunger Games, adding welcome
texture to the cruel world of Panem . This is the project of dystopian
fiction: to shine a light in tyranny's greasiest corners
and show how people - ordinary, determined human beings - might take
it apart" - New York Times

"Collins is an excellent writer, and there are
moments of surprising lyricism . Sunrise on the Reaping contains
enough both to snare new readers and to satisfy the most bloodthirsty
fan" - Guardian

When you've been set up to lose everything you love,
what is there left to fight for?

As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips
the districts of Panem. This year, in honour of the Quarter
Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.


Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think
too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through
the day and being with the girl he loves.

When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break.
He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol
with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's
nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up
girl in town.

As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail.
But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have
that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
