Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games)
By Suzanne Collins
Harry Hartog's review
You best believe that in 2014 I was a hunger games/ divergent/ maze runner girlie. If there’s a dystopian teen fiction chances are I have read it. Sunrise on the Reaping is the perfect addition to the hunger games universe. For those of us who had already read the original trilogy we already have some knowledge of Haymitch’s Quarter Quell, but there is so much more than I expected to read! Layers and layers of planning and a well executed prequel for a series that defined an entire generation of readers. I just know that if Sunrise had come out when the rest of the books had there 100% would have been a buzz feed quiz to decide if you were a newcomer or not. I hope after reading Sunrise on the Reaping you will be. - Jaqui, Harry Hartog Tuggeranong
Description
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.
