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><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>VOYA Top Shelf for Middle School Readers 2013 list "Electrifying."--EntertainmentWeekly.com "<i>The Testing</i> is a chilling and devious dystopian thriller that all fans of <i>The Hunger Games</i> will simply devour.
