Sunrise on the Reaping Deluxe

With brand new artwork by Freya Betts: this is a breathtaking deluxe hardback collectible perfect for all fans of this groundbreaking, phenomenally bestselling series.

“Sunrise on the Reaping is a propulsive, heart-wrenching addition to The Hunger Games, adding welcome texture to the cruel world of Panem … This is the project of dystopian fiction: to shine a light in tyranny’s greasiest corners and show how people - ordinary, determined human beings - might take it apart” - New York Times

“Collins is an excellent writer, and there are moments of surprising lyricism … Sunrise on the Reaping contains enough both to snare new readers and to satisfy the most bloodthirsty fan” - Guardian

“A brutal, tender tale that adds depth to the franchise, weaving pertinent themes of misinformation and propaganda around the thrills and action.” - The Observer

When you’ve been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?

As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honour of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.

When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town.

As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight … and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.

Sunrise on the Reaping is the fastest-selling YA title of all time in the UK and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year and a British Book Award. There is a blockbuster feature film coming in November 2026 with an all-star cast.
