About Sunrise on the Reaping
As the fiftieth Hunger Games approaches, Panem faces a Quarter Quell that will send twice the usual number of children into the arena. In District 12, sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy hopes to spend his birthday with the girl he loves. Instead, he is forced into the Games and taken to the Capitol with three other tributes from his district. Facing a competition controlled by the Capitol, Haymitch searches for a way to survive—and to make his resistance matter beyond the arena.
