Variant by Robison Wells

After being bounced around the foster care system for years, Benson is so excited to be accepted at Maxfield Academy where he will finally have a place to belong.  However, it doesn’t take him long to realize that he is a prisoner in some kind of crazy experiment.  There are no adults, everything is monitored by video cameras and doors and computers operate remotely.  Benson realizes that he must try to escape or die trying because to stay at Maxfield Academy means certain death.
