I could point out that Ampert will never see his father again, but I’ve already exceeded my meanness quota for the day. It’s kinder to humor him. I take a safety pin from my overalls and hold it out. “Try that, buddy.” His face lights up like he just got a new toy. He pops…

Chapter 16 – Sunrise on the Reaping Novel Free Online by Suzanne Collins
“Got me beat there,” I have to admit. “And nobody tells them what to say. That bird is who I want to be when I grow up. Someone who says whatever they think is right, no matter what.” No matter what. That’s the part I’m worried about. That she might be saying something rash. Or…
Chapter 17 – Sunrise on the Reaping Novel Free Online by Suzanne Collins
We hightail it out of there and into the waiting van, which speeds through the Capitol streets, horn blaring. It’s not enough to drown out a booming version of the anthem, which they must be blasting out citywide. The Hunger Games opening ceremonies have begun without us. As the anthem ends, we screech to a…

My escape path leads me farther down the avenue toward the president’s mansion. Several of the chariots are pulled over along the parade route. It’s a clear shot to the mansion, but I’ll never make it. The Peacekeepers’ shouts get closer. Louella’s growing heavy. My toes blister in the tight boots. My chest aches and…

“Forty-one, minus the Booker Boy fee.” “Guess you are a long shot, for your pa to hold you so cheap,” I say. “Never pretended otherwise.” Wyatt turns and walks over to our van, one of the few still left in the stable. “Boy, that was mean, even by my standards,” Maysilee says to me. “You…

Chapter 12 – Sunrise on the Reaping Novel Free Online by Suzanne Collins
I give my head a slight shake. “A miscalculation on my part,” Plutarch says. “Take it out, Tibby. I’m sorry, Haymitch.” An apology? From a Capitol guy? Then I see it for what it is: another way to manipulate me by pretending I’m a human being, worthy of an apology. I don’t even acknowledge it….
Chapter 13 – Sunrise on the Reaping Novel Free Online by Suzanne Collins
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?” I know every word of the song, since I learned it for Lenore Dove’s birthday last December. It wasn’t that hard, it being what she calls an earworm, meaning it sticks in your…
Chapter 14 – Sunrise on the Reaping Novel Free Online by Suzanne Collins
I recognize Juvenia, the District 1 escort who Drusilla sneered at, tentatively descending the train steps in snakeskin boots. Behind her come her four tributes, cuffed and chained together, towering over their Peacekeepers. When the car door shuts behind them, the boy bringing up the rear suddenly turns and kicks the window. The glass shatters…
Chapter 15 – Sunrise on the Reaping Novel Free Online by Suzanne Collins
Inside we’re told to strip, which is easy from the waist down but undoable above the belt with our cuffed hands. Peacekeepers come around and cut away our shirts with knives. If anyone objects, they laugh and say it’s all the same to the incinerator. It hurts watching them slice through Ma’s careful stitches. I…
