The powerful second book in the New York Times bestselling Testing
trilogy.
In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen
by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest
graduates of all the colonies--a promising leader in the effort to
revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent Study, Cia is a
freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart,
Tomas.
Though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal
horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly
truth behind the government's murderous programs put her--and her loved
ones--in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends
on her.
"The Testing is a chilling and devious dystopian thriller that all
fans of The Hunger Games will simply devour. Joelle Charbonneau writes
with guts and nerve but also great compassion and heart. Highly
recommended."--Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of
Rot & Ruin and Flesh & Bone
