Surviving The Game (ON HOLD)

Spencer Ash, only daughter in her family of six that consists of her four brothers(3 older, 1 younger) and her mom. Without a father figure in her life and an ill mother two of her older brothers have to work day in and day out to keep up with bills and necessities.
Being a poor family in Washerville town is not an uncommon thing, in fact it's so common that 50 years ago the government came up with, the game. Claiming they didn't have the money to help the suffering families living in their country, Zasburg (A.N: I'm making up all the places btw) they decided that if families wanted to live in luxury and wealth for an entire year they were going to have to earn it.
Picking the four poorest towns in the country they came up with a game of survival, all contestants that are still alive by the end of the game are winners and them and their family get to live in luxury for the next year, along with receiving a million dollar prize money. It's not as easy as it seems though, every year the game starts with 16 players all between the ages of 10-16, four players from each town (no more than one member from a family can participate). By the end of the game there're usually only less than a handful of players left, half of them in critical condition.
The game consists of harsh climates, daily challenges, poisonous plants and berries, vicious animals, and no weapons to defend yourself with. Seeing as though Spencer's family is poor and her 15 year old brother Carter is still to young to work to support his family he decides he's going to participate. Spencer refuses to let that happen, Carter is everything anyone could every want to be, he's smart, funny, handsome, popular, healthy, kind, and so much more, Spencer doesn't want the games to take that away, way too many people would be devastated, including herself. There's only one way to stop him.
Spencer must play the game instead.
