Series: Starters
Release Date: March 13, 2012
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
HER WORLD IS CHANGED FOREVER
Callie lost her parents when the Spore Wars wiped out everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run, living as squatters with their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie. Callie’s only hope is Prime Destinations, a disturbing place in Beverly Hills run by a mysterious figure known as the Old Man.
He hires teens to rent their bodies to Enders—seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in Callie’s head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, and going out with a senator’s grandson. It feels almost like a fairy tale, until Callie discovers that her renter intends to do more than party—and that Prime Destinations’ plans are more evil than Callie could ever have imagined. . . .
I’m going to be reading this soon from Netgalley, but it looks very good! I hope it lives up to expectations

It’s been ages since I’ve left a comment here, I have just noticed. ._.’ Damn. Oh, I’m very curious about this one! It was available on NetGalley, but for some reasons I haven’t requested it I think. *le sigh* Anyway, thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. *g*

I’m not sure how I feel about this one – the cover art kind of creeps me out (maybe it’s better in person?). I’ll admit that the book itself sounds really interesting. Nice pick!

Fabulous pick! I’ve wanted Starters for weeks now; the premise is fantastic, and the trailer is honestly chilling. I still can’t get over how awesome this idea is. Just. WHY IS THIS NOT OUT YET.
