About the Book: As dawn breaks over District 12, sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy has every reason to believe he can avoid the reaping's notice. But this year marks the Second Quarter Quell, and the Capitol has decreed that twice the usual number of tributes will be dragged from their homes. When Haymitch's name is called, he is torn from his family, from the girl he loves, and from any illusion of safety. Thrown into an arena designed to be more lethal than ever, he quickly realises the odds have been rigged against him from the start. Yet something in Haymitch refuses to simply perform for the cameras and die quietly. Suzanne Collins weaves a story of spectacle, propaganda, and quiet rebellion, introducing an unforgettable cast from District 12. Fans of Katniss's story will find fresh, heartbreaking context for the man who becomes her mentor, while new readers will be gripped by the pace and stakes. It's a story about survival and the cost of fighting back against a regime built on cruelty, told with the same clear, propulsive prose that made the original trilogy a phenomenon.
