Hopefully we’ll get to see more about him in the next book. However, he doesn’t play a large role in Starters, as the focus is on Callie’s involvement with Prime Destinations. Michael is a great guy from what I can tell. Also, I love how, even though they aren’t present, her parents influence Callie as she uses the lessons that they gave her. All the decisions that Callie make are out of love for Tyler, and I love caring she is of her little brother. Caught in a difficult situation in a completely hostile world, she struggles to save the only family she has. On her third rental, Callie’s chip malfunctions, and she learns that her renter Helena has notorious plans and that Prime Destinations is not all that they claim to be.Ĭallie is strong and independent. Desperation leads Callie to Prime Destinations, a body-bank that circumvents laws that prohibit minors from working by giving them a stipend for donating their bodies to an elderly renter. Without any grandparents to take care of them, Callie and her baby brother Tyler are forced to live on the run along with Michael, a neighborhood friend, in order to avoid being locked up. She's happy to email you back if you reach out to her that way.Only the children and senior citizens are able to be vaccinated from something, presumably an aftereffect of the Spore Wars, that kills off everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty.
