In a world where your future is accurately written on the pages of a book, a poor but brilliant young woman must escape her predicted murder and bring down a business and political figurehead who seeks to save the world by eliminating the wrong kind of people in it. Sara Miles just came of age and she’s on the wrong list.

Sara Miles has until midnight to change the future or she won’t be part of it. It’s Numbering Day when she and everyone her age is scanned and given a Number Book, which will show her with uncanny accuracy every second of the rest of her life. As valedictorian, Sara’s future should be brilliant. But her Numbering triggers a shutdown of all the Numbering Machines after which she and millions of others are branded as Future Criminals. She learns that her dad has a secret past with the Chief Executive, which has led to a death sentence for Sara and her mom. Barely escaping arrest, Sara must rely on her brilliance as she and a friend run for their lives. She needs time to unravel how she brought down the Numbering Machines, why people are turning to her for answers she doesn’t have, how she and her family could threaten the Chief Executive and the Board, and how a cryptic letter written by her dad long ago might save her, her mother, and the millions wrongly Numbered. She must do all of this before midnight when her Number Book shows with 99.9999% accuracy that no matter what she does her life will tick down to its conclusion.

I'm sure you've been numbered: SAT score? Myers-Briggs score? IQ score? FICO score? BMI health score? Numbered takes this to the extreme.
