hardback    ISBN 13: 9780702340574 | ISBN 10: 070234057x

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.
 
Recommended for readers aged 13+
