Sunrise on the Reaping will revisit the world of Panem twenty-four years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the Fiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. (Scholastic Press, 2025)

"With Sunrise on the Reaping, I was inspired by David Hume's idea of implicit submission and, in his words, 'the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.' The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question 'Real or not real?' seems more pressing to me every day."

The Hunger Games appears for the first time in a deluxe illustrated edition, with spellbinding art from internationally acclaimed artist Nico Delort. (Scholastic Press, 2024)

"Certain illustrations made an indelible impression on me growing up, and the images are forever linked to books I love, including John Tenniel's classic drawings for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Fritz Eichenberg's wood engravings for Wuthering Heights. I'm thrilled with Nico Delort's striking black-and-white scratchboard artwork for The Hunger Games and feel it will have the same lasting influence on a new generation of Panem readers."
