The globally bestselling Sunrise on the Reaping storms
the big screen in November 2026!
"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
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.
Three books, four films and one worldwide phenomenon, the original Hunger Games
trilogy changed the face of global YA.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was a global number one
hit in hardback on release w/c 18 March 2020 and the movie was number one at
the box office around the world in November 2023.
