All about Sunrise on the Reaping

Now that you've become interested in Suzanne Collins' latest book, let us give you the gist of Sunrise on the Reaping!

Set during the 50th Hunger Games and the Second Quarter Quell, Sunrise on the Reaping is about Haymitch Abernathy's life as a tribute and how he used his wits and skills to be the winner of the said edition.

Although Haymitch Abernathy wins the games, something tragic happens to his life and his loved ones—making him the person that he is when he meets Katniss Everdeen and the other tributes.


It's great that Suzanne Collins published Sunrise on the Reaping to get to know Haymitch Abernathy to make it known that just like any other person, Haymitch has his flaws and mistakes, but that doesn't mean that he's a bad and vile person.
