Suzanne Collins returns to Panem in this fiercely anticipated Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping. Set 24 years before Katniss Everdeen’s name is drawn, this novel delves into the 50th Hunger Games—better known as the Quarter Quell—and the rise of a certain charismatic victor from District 12: Haymitch Abernathy.

Gripping, brutal, and razor-sharp in its political bite, this is Collins at her dystopian best—perfect for fans who like their fiction fast-paced, morally murky, and impossible to put down.
