Summary
Suzanne Collins: Dawn of the Harvest
When you are destined to lose everything you love, what else is there to fight for? As dawn breaks before the 50th Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the second Quarter-Century Capture, twice as many participants will be taken from their homes and sent into the arena to fight to the death. In District 12, Haymitch Abernathy tries not to think too much about the risk of his name being called. All he wants is to pass the harvest and spend the rest of the day with his beloved girl. When they read his name, Haymitch feels his dreams come crashing down. He was torn from his family and his girlfriend and taken to the Capitol with three other members of the Twelve: a young friend who is like a sister to him, an obsessive bookie and the most arrogant girl in town. When the Games begin, Haymitch realizes that everything is set up for him to lose. But something inside him wants to fight... and that fight resonates far beyond the confines of the deadly arena.
