Publisher’s Summary
The phenomenal fifth book in the Hunger Games series!
Acclaimed actor Jefferson White, who starred in Paramount Network’s Yellowstone as Jimmy Hurdstrom, brings his talent to the worldwide best-selling Hunger Games series as narrator of the Sunrise on the Reaping audiobook!
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 honor 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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Another absolute stunning piece from Suzanne Collins “
This book was such an amazing political commentary that could not have been better timed.My only negative remark is the narrator, and the editing of the audio version. There were several times where whole lines or sections were repeated.
— SN, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Questions answered.”
This book answers a lot of questions I had for a long time about the hunger games. Well written and a good read.— Dian, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Beautiful, tragic, nostalgic – loved it “
I loved this book, couldn’t stop listening. I already want to listen to it again. Brought me back to high school reading The Hunger Games for the first time. Finding out things you didn’t think you were missing made it so much better. Haymitch will always been one of my favorite characters.— Felicia, Audible listener
