The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau

The genre of this book is a science fiction book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dystopian books. This story is about a girl named Cia who lives in a place where they are trying to renew the corrupt land that was destroyed during the seven stages of war. Cia and her close friend Thomas, who she has feelings for, are chosen to compete in the testing. 

The testing was designed for the most intelligent high school graduates to decide who would be the next leaders of their Country, The United Commonwealth. Her father’s advice and past experiences suggest that the testing is not all what the government says it is. Cia must complete four tests and score high to beat the other competitors and get through or there is a penalty. All testers who make it through the four rounds are automatically excepted into the only college in the United Commonwealth. Those who do not make it through are punished. 

Read the book to find out what happens to Thomas and Cia in The Testing.
