My name is Hugo. I would rather not tell you anymore about myself, because that's the author's job. However, she asked me to tell you a little bit about this book. But before I get started, I have something to tell you. What you are holding in your hands at this moment is my life -- literally. It probably goes without saying that you have to be careful. For 18 years, I have lived, breathed, and eaten the same things, over and over again. Until now. When I pick a seed that sends me straight to the trash collectors, it will change my life forever. But when a mysterious incident takes place, things get interesting. I will have to make a decision about the destiny of several thousand people. This book is a riveting, powerful story about love and heroism, sacrifice and bravery, and adds a touch of romance. So, my soon-to-be-reality life might actually be interesting. Right now, you're reading the dust jacket but on the next page, my story starts. Flip the page.
