Starters

When we read the synopsis of this book in book club, my NoDid friends were not having it. I'll be happy to report back that they were wrong. This fast paced book kept my attention and then some. It is the story of Callie, who is taking care of her 7 year old brother Tyler. In their society all the people between 20 and 60 were killed in the Spore War. All the unclaimed kids are left to fend for themselves and if they get caught, terrible things seem to happen to them. Callie hears about a program called Prime Destination, where she can rent her body out to Elders and get a hefty payday. Callie sees no other choice but to try it in order to care for her sick brother. Her first two rentals go smoothly, but the last one hits a snag. She is suddenly phased back into her body in the middle of the rental and she can hear the woman who rented her talking in her head. Helena has a plan to assassinate a senator while in Callie's body. Callie finds out and tries to stop Helena. But the more Helena talks, the more Callie realizes how evil Prime Destination really is. Of course there are boys, Michael, who is in hiding with Callie and Blake, the rich boy she meets while pretending to be under the rental. And then there is the dastardly villain- the Old Man- who doesn't seem to have a face, only a computer screen that can project whatever image he wants on it. Callie is desperate to know who he really is. This was a great book and I can't wait to find out who Old Man is when Enders, the sequel by Lissa Price comes out in December. This was a ride that moved quickly and took some unexpected turns. So No Dids- give it a chance you might actually like it!  The Yankees are on tv now so I have to go. Happy reading my friends.
