Starters by Lissa Price
March 13, 2012 from Delacorte Books
After the Spore Wars, Callie and her brother Tyler are desperate for food, shelter, and their long dead parents. At 16, Callie takes care of her brother by scavenging and scrounging, but her brothers declining health leaves Callie looking for more than scrapes of food. She heads to Prime Destinations to loan her body out to an Elder that needs a little vacation time in a young and beautiful body. Where do I sign up? Anyway, Callie gets more than she bargains for when she "wakes up" in the middle of her rental. Callie isn't sure where she is and what happened to Helen, her rental. Over the course of a few hours, she learns of a frightening plan that would put both Helen and Callie in a lot of danger. Callie decides to fake her way and pretend to be an Elder inside her perfect young body in order to stop the ill-fated plan. Everything would go a lot easier if she knew who to trust and learn why she keeps blacking out and waking up with guns in her hands.
