Portrait of a Starter

Price, Lissa. Portrait of a Starter. 2012. 28p. Available as an eBook on Overdrive.




This short story, told from Michael’s point of view, discusses what happens to Callie and himself during the two days prior to Callie going to Prime Destination for the first time. Drawing Callie while she sleeps, Michael cannot help but find the beauty in the girl living a homeless life with her younger brother. As he draws Callie over two days, he realizes that she is more to him than a friend, but he’s not sure how she feels about him. This a quick read to get a better portrait of one of the main characters of Starters and Enders.
