please hold your questions until the end. but oh no! where are the teachers? where are the adult cafeteria and maintenance workers? why are all the children shouting? so, basically - this is a school in which all the duties of the school are performed by the students themselves. So, seventeen-year-old benson fisher applies for a boarding-school scholarship program in order to get out of the foster-care system cycle he has been swirling around inside for years.he gets it - yayyy - and flies off to new mexico to settle into his new school and meet his new classmates. but these are the cards we were dealt today. that makes perfect sense, right? also, i write my least convincing book reports when i am ill. So this is why i feel bad for hating on this book, because the brother of the author has always been nice when he has come in. but no, not a teen, just the brother of dan wells, who i still have yet to read, but seems like a really nice guy. i am not going to have another truancy experience, thank you very much. that's cute, right? but about thirty pages in, i started getting concerned that this was another YA book actually written by a teen author. the author dedicated it to his best friend erin. If anyone popped into my RA group looking for a book that was "not well-written, consistent, or plausible," i could hand them this book with full confidence.Īnd i feel bad for saying that, i do.
