The 125th Hunger Games are just around the corner, and Lacie Greenly, a 16-year-old child genius from District 4, doesn't know her life is about to change forever. That makes it seem like she's the main character, right? Wrong. Every year, the Capitol makes it seem like there's only one perspective to the Games - that of the Victor - but that's far from the truth. This year, 36 tributes will enter the Arena, and each one has a different perspective of the Games. Of all the competitors from across Panem, who will be crowned the Victor? Will Lacie overcome the other competitors? How about Soren, the brother of last year's Victor? What will Carlo and Seffie, two District 5 teens on the verge of love, do when they are Reaped together? 36 tributes will enter the Arena in one week. Some will fall in love, some will be betrayed by those closest to them, and in the end, all but one will die.

Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now, she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Ninety-Five- all medically and legally judged as perfect. Entering this new life Hannah has an impossible decision to make which puts not only hers, but the lives of everyone she cares about at great risk.
