Lissa Price has studied photography and writing, but the world has turned out to be her greatest teacher. She has walked with elephants in Botswana, swum with penguins in the Galapagos, and stood on a field at sunset amid a thousand nomads in Gujarat, India. She has been surrounded by hundreds of snorting Cape buffalo in South Africa and held an almost silent chorus with a hundred wild porpoises off the coast of Oahu. She has danced in mud huts at village weddings in India and had tea with the most famous living socialite in Kyoto. When she sat down to write, she found that the most surprising journeys were still inside her mind. Learn more about Ms. Price’s life and works at www.lissaprice.com.

Following its release in 2012, Starters became an international bestseller published in over thirty countries. TheLos Angeles Times called it “a worthy successor to Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games”” and readers in Germany and France voted in one of their top ten favorite books of 2012.  The sequel, ENDERS, is set to release in 2014.
