Sunrise on the Reaping PB

Description

  “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

“A brutal, tender tale that adds depth to the franchise,

weaving pertinent themes of misinformation and propaganda

around the thrills and action.” – The Observer

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.

Four

books, five films and one worldwide phenomenon, The Hunger
