Young Adult Paranormal
“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. . . .
