Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace
In a charming and bookish moment, rising stars Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace were spotted sharing some reading time together—and fans are loving it.
Mason Thames, known for his breakout roles in suspenseful dramas, was seen engrossed in Sunrise on the Reaping, the hotly anticipated new installment in Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games series. The book, a prequel set decades before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena, explores the story of Haymitch Abernathy and the brutal 50th Hunger Games. With its bold purple and gold cover gleaming, Sunrise on the Reaping looks every bit the next must-read in the dystopian franchise.
Beside him, Mckenna Grace—who has built a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most versatile young actresses—was reading How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell. The beloved children’s classic, which inspired the hit animated film series, tells the tale of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and his journey from scrawny Viking outcast to heroic dragon whisperer. The choice adds a playful and nostalgic contrast to Mason’s darker dystopian read.
The pair posed against a backdrop of antique leather-bound books, giving the scene a vintage, academic feel. Mckenna, with her signature blonde waves and a soft smile, held her dragon-themed read with enthusiasm, while Mason—rocking a striped sweater—looked over curiously at her book.
Whether this cozy book session was just a candid moment or a themed shoot, fans are already buzzing about the crossover of fantasy and dystopia—and what it might mean for their favorite stars’ next roles.
One thing’s clear: Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace have great taste in books—and we’re ready to follow their reading lists.
