The Goblet of Fire is the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part tale of Harry Potter’s training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to escape the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys.

Betting On You
Seventeen-year-old Bailey starts a new job at a waterpark, awkwardly reuniting with Charlie, whom she met during a stressful move after her parents’ divorce. Initially irritated by Charlie’s cynicism, she now looks forward to gossiping and betting on whether a flirty couple will get together. Charlie claims opposite sex friends can’t exist, while Bailey aims to prove him wrong. As they track romance and navigate growing feelings—especially Charlie’s secret involving her and another bet—they must decide if they can build a real relationship or if secrets will ruin everything.

Sunrise On the Reaping
As the fiftieth Hunger Games begins, fear spreads across Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes are taken. In District 12, Haymitch Abernathy tries not to think about his odds, focusing on surviving and being with the girl he loves. When his name is called, his dreams break as he’s taken from his family and love, sent to the Capitol with three District 12 tributes: a close friend, a compulsive odds-maker, and the most stuck-up girl. As the Games start, Haymitch feels set up to fail, but a part of him wants to fight—and make that fight heard.
