By Robison Wells



Benson Fisher thought that going to Maxfield Academy would be a good thing, he would be able to leave his old foster care family life and start fresh. But the second he gets there things start getting a little freaky. To get into Maxfield, you have to go through a chain link fence and a twelve foot high wall, then meet a girl named Becky, who will do his orientation. He goes in and meets Becky, who seems really nice, but when Benson tries to ask about the wall and fence, she won't give him any straight answers. She starts to talk about points and groups. About how there are three different groups and he'll have to join one, even though there are no rules about it and nothing to say they are official, but he HAS to. He is given a watch with a microchip that he has to wear at all times. Becky says that it is kind of like a key to the places he's aloud to go. Benson is really weirded out, and it gets worse when he makes his way to the dorms and sees cameras everywhere.

What is this place? That's what Ben is wondering. There is one thing that Benson wants now, and that is to get out. Can he?

An action packed book that has twists and turns that would blow your mind. It will keep you up all night reading, guaranteed.
