What Is Sunrise on the Reaping About?
*Sunrise on the Reaping* marks the fifth installment in the Hunger Games series, but it takes readers to a different point in the timeline. Set approximately 40 years after the events of *The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes* and 24 years before Katniss Everdeen's story in the original Hunger Games novel, this book unfolds during the Second Quarter Quell, which was won by Haymitch Abernathy. Fans of the series will recall Haymitch as the mentor for District 12, famously portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the films.
