Starters by Barry Lyga

Would you allow someone to rent your body so that they could go windsurfing, snowboarding, partying - whatever they want? While they have control of your body, your own identity will be in a coma of sorts... Oh, and did I mention that there's no parent or guardian to provide for you, and you have to take care of yourself and your younger brother? So, are you willing to take a chance?
