The highly anticipated fifth book in Suzanne Collins‘ beloved Hunger Games series is finally here: Sunrise of the Reaping.
The novel joins The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), Mockingjay (2014) and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2020). It also marks the second prequel, after The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, in the collection (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay make up the original Hunger Games trilogy).
As a gift to her loyal fans, Collins teamed with Barnes & Noble on a B&N Exclusive Edition of Sunrise of the Reaping, which includes an in-depth conversation between the author and her publisher, David Levithan.
In addition to Barnes & Noble, the novel is currently available on Bookshop.org and Amazon, but without the bonus content.
Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) (The Hunger Games)
The new prequel is set during the 50th annual Hunger Game and follows Haymitch Abernathy of District 12’s journey through the deadly competition.
