“Readers who have been waiting for a worthy successor to Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games will find it here. Dystopian sci-fi at its best, Starters is a terrific series kickoff with a didn't-see-that-coming conclusion that will leave readers on the edges of their seats . . .” raves the Los Angeles Times. In the future, teens rent their bodies to seniors who want to be young again. One girl discovers her renter plans to do more than party--her body will commit murder, if her mind can't stop it. Sixteen-year-old Callie lost her parents when the genocide spore wiped out everyone except those who were vaccinated first--the very young and very old. With no grandparents to claim Callie and her little brother, they go on the run, living as squatters, and fighting off unclaimed renegades who would kill for a cookie. Hope comes via Prime Destinations, run by a mysterious figure known only as The Old Man. He hires teens to rent their bodies to seniors, known as enders, who get to be young again. Callie's neurochip malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her rich renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, even dating Blake, the grandson of a senator. It's a fairy-tale new life . . . until she uncovers the Body Bank's horrible plan. . . .
"STARTERS is a smart, swift, inventive, altogether gripping story. Callie Woodland, the narrator, deserves a series, and happily I am sure she'll get one!"—Dean Koontz

Starters... Takes place in America far into the future. Her parents died in the Spore wars two years ago. Now, Callie and her younger brother, Tyler, live on the streets along with Michael, a close friend. They live as squatters, running from marshals and fighting off renegades. When they run out of money, Callie goes to Prime Destinations, a place where enders- elders who wish to wish to be a teen again- can be in a teens body and do as they wish as long as they don't do anything too dangerous. Desperate for money, Callie rents out her body. The first two rentals go by fast... but when she wakes up in the middle of her third rental, in a night club, she wants to go back to Prime and have it fixed but a voice in her head tells her not to. She goes back to her renters house, which is a gigantic mansion. She soon figures out that her renter plans to do something Callie never imagined... This is probably my favorite book of all time. I love the story line. The writing is not as detailed as a lot of other books i have read, but it is still fantastic! The sequel to this book comes out january 7th 2014, it is called Elders. Keep your eye out for it. I'm SO exited for the sequel to come out! I'm going to stay up all night reading it!
