Riassunto

Benson Fisher thought that 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. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive.

Where breaking the rules equals death.

But when Benson stumbles upon the school's real secret, he realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death, and that escape- his only real hope for survival-may be impossible.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Benson's account unfolds in a speedy, unadorned first person. Hard to put down from the very first page, this fast-paced novel answers only some of the questions it poses, holding some of the most tantalizing open for the next installment in a series that is anything but ordinary. (Kirkus Reviews)

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)
