FrozenTrout reviewed Variant by Robison Wells
Review of 'Variant' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was pretty cool. Benson Fisher enrolls at Maxfield Academy, hoping to escape the endless foster homes he's known. However, he quickly discovers that this isn't the big chance he was hoping for: there are no adults, classes and activities are bizarre, video cameras are everywhere, and no one is allowed contact with the outside world. He joins the Variants, one of three warring factions among the students, and searches for a way to escape. I'm really looking forward to the sequel, due out later this year, to conclude the story.
