Starters (Starters, #1)
by Lissa Price
In a near-future Los Angeles, becoming someone else is now possible. Sixteen-year-old Callie discovers the Body Bank where teens, called Starters, rent their bodies to seniors, called Enders, who want to be young again. But when her neurochip malfunctions, she wakes up in the mansion of her rich renter and finds she is going out with a senator’s grandson. But there’s no time to enjoy her fairy-tale new life, because she must solve the mystery of her renter’s deadly plan. (Ages 12+)
Enders (Starters, #2)
by Lissa Price
With the body bank destroyed, Callie no longer has to rent herself out to creepy Enders—but they can still get inside her mind and make her do things she doesn’t want to do. Having the chip removed could save her life—but it could also silence the voice in her head that may belong to her father. Callie still has flashes of her ex-renter Helena’s memories. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen body? No one is ever who they appear to be. Grasping at the hope of a normal life for herself and her kid brother, Callie is ready to fight for the truth. Even if it kills her. (Ages 12+)
