Maybe I’ll buy one for him now anyway and give it to him in a couple of years. If my nephew was a little older, he would get a copy for Christmas this year. ![]() I would hand Variant to my (nearly) 14 year-old daughter without hesitation. What I will tell you in this review is how I felt about this long-awaited novel by Robison Wells as a 30-something mother who is looking for entertaining and clean books for both herself and her teenager to read. My experience with what is considered YA Dystopian is limited to The Hunger Games (which I loved) and The Maze Runner (not as much), as well as Matched and Possession, so I will also not be comparing Variant to other YA Dystopian-type novels as a genre. I haven’t read either of them, so this review will be free from any comparisons to those books. I have heard people mention both Lord of the Flies and Ender’s Game in reference to Variant. It doesn’t take long for Benson to realize this school is not what he thought it was and he wants out. ![]() ![]() Benson is excited, hoping that this is his opportunity for a quality education. Variant begins with Benson, a 17-year-old foster kid who has moved from home to home since he was five, as he is dropped off at Maxfield Academy. ![]()
