Starters

"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 . . Kami Garcia, coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Beautiful Creatures novels said "Fans of The Hunger Games will love it."

  • ""Callie perdió a sus padres cuando las guerras de las Esporas aniquilaron a todos los que tenían entre 20 y 60 años. Ahora es una starter, una adolescente que vive en la calle como una vagabunda y lucha por sobrevivir. Su única esperanza es Destinos de Plenitud, una inquietante empresa que contrata a adolescentes para que alquilen sus cuerpos a los enders, ancianos que quieren volver a ser jóvenes. Callie se hace donante, pero el neurochip que lleva en la cabeza se estropea y despierta en la ostentosa y lujosa vida de la ender que ha alquilado su cuerpo. Es una vida de cuento-- hasta que descubre que los planes de Destinos de Plenitud son más siniestros que la peor de sus pesadillas"--Provided by publisher."
