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 coloniesâa 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 governmentâs murderous programs put herâand her loved onesâin a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.
âThe 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.ââJonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Flesh & Bone
