Suzanne Collins has only done about dozen press interviews about "The Hunger Games." As "Sunrise on the Reaping" releases, we revisit our 2009 chat.

In a new interview with publisher Scholastic, Suzanne Collins talked about her new 'Hunger Games' prequel 'Sunrise on the Reaping,' which follows Katniss Everdeen's mentor Haymitch Abernathy.

Sunrise on the Reaping, the new novel from Suzanne Collins about the cockeyed and roguish tribute Haymitch Abernathy (played in adult form by Woody Harrelson in the Hunger Games movies), bridges the gap between the District 12 we first met in The Hunger Games trilogy and the more old-fashioned mining town we saw in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
