Every year on July 4, all district children between the ages of 12 and 18 are entered into a lottery, and one boy and one girl from each region are selected to compete in the Hunger Games. The “tributes” must battle one another in an arena to the death; the one left standing is rewarded with riches, as is his or her district.

"Sunrise on the Reaping," the fifth "Hunger Games" book, comes out next week. Here's what we know about Haymitch from other Suzanne Collins works.

We hope that Sunrise on the Reaping will answer some lingering District 12 questions, but it will have to break a Hunger Games trilogy trend first.

Haymitch's Hunger Games win has been the center of several intriguing mysteries for years, and Sunrise on the Reaping should finally have answers.

The Hunger Games franchise has yet to break one trend, and continuing this pattern in another book would make its story sadder than the others.

As the Hunger Games series launches into a new era on March 18, Scholastic has plenty of plans to ensure that the rollout satisfies fans.
