The official account of The Hunger Games film series recently announced the release of a new prequel book titled "Sunrise on the Reaping." Set 24 years before the events of the first novel, this story takes readers back to the post-apocalyptic world of Panem, where the 50th Hunger Games, known as the Second Quarter Quell, is about to commence.

The series, which began with "The Hunger Games" in 2008, has since captivated audiences with its thrilling narrative and thought-provoking discussions on reality and control. With this upcoming prequel, fans can delve deeper into the complex world of Panem and its dark history.
