The Testing -- Joelle Charbonneau

<p>In Cia's dystopian society it's an honor to be chosen for The Testing. But it's not enough to pass the Test. Cia will have to survive it. <p/> 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.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Joelle Charbonneau<br><b>Publisher:</b> Clarion Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/06/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 352<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.10h x 5.40w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780544336230<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-17<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 15<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade Plus<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>158911 / Testing<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Joelle Charbonneau</b> began telling stories as an opera singer, but these days she finds her voice through writing.
