Summary
Variant
"Variant is a compelling story on so many levels. I loved it! The twist behind it all is my favorite since Ender's Game." --James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials Benson Fisher thought a scholarship to Maxfield Academy was the ticket out of his dead-end life. He was wrong. Now he's trapped in a school that's surrounded by a razor-wire fence. Where video cameras monitor his every move. Where the students have divided into factions to survive. Where breaking the rules equals death. Benson is determined to find a way out, but when he stumbles upon the real secret the school has been hiding he realizes that escape may be impossible. Debut teen author Robison Wells delivers a gripping dystopian thriller that is fast-paced, unpredictable, and hauntingly real. Variant combines the heart-pounding action of Gone with The Maze Runner's sense of entrapment and Lord of the Flies's terrifying truths about human nature--and the cliffhanger ending will leave readers breathlessly awaiting the sequel.
