Sunrise on the Reaping: A Hunger Games Novel (Paperback)

Panem returns a generation before Katniss Everdeen in this Hunger Games novel by Suzanne Collins. Collins has used the prequels to widen the politics of the series rather than repeat its plot, examining how the Capitol's control was built and then maintained over time. This 300-page paperback continues in that direction, and readers who came to the books through the original trilogy will find the same interest in propaganda, spectacle and the cost of survival. It can be read on its own, though the resonance is considerably stronger for anyone who already knows the earlier books. A quick rundown: • A Hunger Games novel set before the original trilogy • 300 pages in a paperback edition • Written by Suzanne Collins, author of the original series • Political themes of control, spectacle and survival For dystopian fiction readers, young adult audiences and returning Hunger Games fans, stocked at Boipoka.
