A prequel to the original Hunger Games trilogy, that explores the origins of a young Coriolanus Snow and his mentor-tribute relationship with Lucy Gray Baird during the 10th Hunger Games.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capital, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined -- every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death.
Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.

'A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic,
but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph ‘Maybe you don’t believe me.
Maybe you don’t believe in magic. I bet you will by the time
you’ve heard what happened to us.’ Cousins Middy and Nathan
love magic. The on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind.
For Middy, it’s all about patience and practice. She uses magic
skills to help her out of tricky situations. Nathan is a show-off
and a total danger magnet, he is drawn to the sensation, spectacle
and audience. So when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically
vanishes the night of the Grand Lights Switch-On, showman Nathan
announces live on TV that they will magic it back home. With a
stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end
up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion,
Perplexion, ‘Legend of Magic’. Full of tricks, twists and
deceptions, the delightful Nathan and Middy will keep you guessing
until the very end. Praise for Noah's Gold: 'Sparkly, witty,
enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect' Hilary McKay
