Sunrise on the Reaping. Coming March 18, 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, The question 'Real or not real? The Hunger Games. Illustrated Edition. The Hunger Games appears for the first time in a deluxe illustrated edition, with spellbinding art from internationally acclaimed artist Nico Delort.
These illustrations are new and wholly themselves, and the book's large format shows them off to great advantage. The black-and-white art brings a hefty weight to the poverty and despair of District 12, the poorest sector of Panem, while at the same time capturing the affected excesses of the Capitol and its citizens.
Delort's talent is fully evident when capturing Katniss in her fire-tinged dress; readers will be able to feel the heat thanks to the dazzling interplay of positive and negative space.
Fans of Barry Moser, take note: There's a new tribute in town. Vivid and well worth a look from new and returning fans alike. 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.
