Film tie-in edition of the international bestseller from the teen fiction phenomenon. The earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed. Melanie Stryder is a rare exception however, refusing to relinquish the possession of her mind to the invading soul named Wanderer. "The Host" has sold over 1.3 million copies in previous formats and with a major new movie due to hit the screens in March, this new edition is sure to fly off the shelves.
