Review
Benson receives a scholarship to Maxfield Academy after having a rough past. He is very quickly informed that there are no adults and he very quickly wants out of Maxfield. Benson has a crazy time and he ends up stuck longer than planned. The author does a great job writing in first person, really giving you the full experience. When it seems you've got it all figured out there is a twist in the middle of the book. It shocks the reader and the main character. Almost as if it can't be true, or can it?
