Variant
Benson is finally going to get something good in his life. He has been shuffled around from foster home to foster home. But now he has been accepted into the Maxfield Academy, a boarding school. Benson will now have a great school and friends. When he arrives, he notices the students trying to get his attention from the windows, but he doesn't know what they are trying to tell him. As the doors open two students fly out and try to run away. As Benson is brought into the school, he realizes it is not what it seems. First of all, there are no adults. Secondly, there is no way out. The students are controlled by the "school" which uses the students to keep the peace. And if you wind up in detention, you are dead. Literally. Benson is determined to find a way to escape and can't understand why all the students don't feel the same sense of urgency he does. When he makes a startling discovery about his girlfriend, he must convince the others to run before it is too late for all of them. What kind of experiment is this school and how can Benson find his way out? But most importantly, who can he trust when he can't seem to trust anyone?? This was a fast paced read that will appeal to the male population for sure. Always love a book that the reluctant reader will like. The story continues in the sequel Feedback, so I'll get back to you when I read that. Onward my friends and happy reading!
