“Charbonneau has created an enthralling world where passing the test really
is the difference between life and death.” –The ALA recommends: What to
Read <http://www.aasl.ala.org/aaslblog/?p=4308> “It’s graduation day for
sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire *Five Lakes Colony (the
former Great Lakes)* is celebrating. All Cia can think about—hope for—is
whether she’ll be chosen for *The Testing*, a United Commonwealth program
that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible
leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civilization. When Cia is
chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish
half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (”Cia, trust no
one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and
family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer terror—await.”-
