There were four of us down there for the first thirty-two months and eleven days of our captivity. And then, very suddenly and without warning, there were three. Even though the fourth person hadn't made any noise at all in several months, the room got very quiet when she was gone. For a long time after that, we sat in silence, in the dark, each of us wondering what this meant for her and for us, and which of us would be the next in the box.

I always thought you'd know, somehow, if something terrible was going to happen. I thought you'd sense it, like when the air goes damp and heavy before a storm and you know you'd better hide yourself away somewhere safe until it all blows over. But it turns out it's not like that at all. There's no scary music playing in the background like in films. No warning signs. Not even a lonely magpie. One for sorrow, Mum used to say. Quick, look for another. The world can tip at any moment - a fact that fifteen-year-old Pearl is all too aware of when her Mum dies after giving birth to her baby sister. Told across the year following her mother's death, Pearl's story is full of bittersweet humour and heartbreaking honesty about how you deal with grief that cuts you to the bone, as she tries not only to come to terms with losing her Mum, but also the fact that her sister - The Rat - is a constant reminder of why her Mum is no longer around.

"Es la hora. Ya no hay vuelta atrás. Los juegos van a comenzar. Los tributos deben salir a la Arena y ... luchar por sobrevivir. Ganar significa fama y riqueza. Perder significa la muerte segura. Que empiecen los septuagésimo cuartos juegos del hambre!"--Page 4 of cover

Aunque Katniss debería sentirse aliviada, se rumorea que existe una rebelión contra el Capitolio, una rebelión que puede que Katniss y Peeta hayan ayudado a inspirar. La nación les observa y hay mucho en juego. Un movimiento en falso y las consecuencias serán inimaginables.
