Every year on July 4, all district children between the ages of 12 and 18 are entered into a lottery, and one boy and one girl from each region are selected to compete in the Hunger Games. The “tributes” must battle one another in an arena to the death; the one left standing is rewarded with riches, as is his or her district.

The new novel takes us back in time to when he’s a young man from District 12 nominated as tribute in the Quarter Quell. From the release date to how you can pre-order, here’s everything you need to know about Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins.

And now, a new story is almost here: “Sunrise on the Reaping” is slated for release next week, and you can preorder it now so you’ll be ready to dive back into the Capitol’s sinister traditions and the daily struggles of life in the districts.

The new Suzanne Collins book might be one of the most critical Hunger Games books yet. All of her other books have already been made into movies. Sunrise on the Reaping will be adapted into a film in 2026. So, we won’t have to wait much longer, but hopefully, it’s better than a Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
