Variant By Robison Wells

Looking for a fresh start, Benson Fisher is excited to be starting at the private school, Maxfield Academy.  This changes the moment Benson steps foot inside the school and realizes there are no adults and the students are locked inside school grounds surrounded by razor wire.  What is going on?  As Benson understands the truth about the school, he becomes even more desperate to escape.  But do the other students want him to succeed?

Content Notes:

When students get in trouble they are sent to “Detention” and never return.  There is also some violence between students.  For this reason, the book would be rated PG-13 if made into a movie.

Teacher Notes:

This book is appropriate for all middle school students.
