Inspired by an 18th century Scottish philosopher and the modern scourge of misinformation, Suzanne Collins is returning to the ravaged, post-apocalyptic land of Panem for a new The Hunger Games novel.

Scholastic announced on Thursday that Sunrise On The Reaping, the fifth volume of Collins’ blockbuster dystopian series, will be published on March 18.
