There’s a New ‘Hunger Games’ Novel. Here’s What You Need to Know.
“Sunrise on the Reaping” further expands the world of Panem, focusing on Haymitch Abernathy’s story.
Nearly 20 years ago, Suzanne Collins published “The Hunger Games,” a dystopian novel about a young woman forced to compete against other adolescents in a fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses.
That book was a smash, spawning two more — “Catching Fire” and “Mockingjay” — about Katniss Everdeen, plus a prequel, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” about the series’s villain, President Coriolanus Snow. Now Collins is back with another prequel, “Sunrise on the Reaping,” about Katniss’s mentor, Haymitch Abernathy. The book comes out March 18.
With five books and four movies to keep track of, you’d be forgiven for forgetting some details of the “Hunger Games” world. Here’s what you need to know before reading “Sunrise on the Reaping.”
