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 opening volume in the New York Times bestselling Testing trilogy. 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.
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.

Cia le sait.
Cia le veut.
Mais la sélection sera sans pitié.
Bienvenue au Testing.
Twisted facts and bent truths take center stage in this sequel to Verify, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins calls “a thought-provoking tale of intrigue, beautifully crafted.”
Meri Buckley has lost everything. She lost her mother to a fight much bigger than herself. Her father to grief, fear, and denial. And the truth—to an overbearing government that insists that censorship and secrecy is the only path to peace.
But though Meri and her band of truth-seeking Stewards did lose the first battle in their quest to enlighten the public, they have not yet lost the war.
Meri can start the revolution she seeks, if the powerful figures who profit from the status quo don’t find her—and kill her first.
La joven Cia Vale, de diecisiete años, ha sobrevivido a la Prueba. También ha logrado sobrevivir Tomas, el chico del que está enamorada. Ambos se han ganado a pulso la admisión en la Universidad.
Cia, a pesar de sus esperanzas de convertirse en ingeniera, es elegida para un programa de estudio gubernamental, donde será formada como una de las futuras líderes de las
Confederaciones Unidas. Los terribles recuerdos de la Prueba han sido eliminados con la tecnología del gobierno. A pesar de que Cia debería ser feliz, porque por fin está en la Universidad, estudiando para convertirse en alguien que realmente pueda ayudar a su mundo, su mente está llena de dudas sobre lo que sucedió y sobre todo lo que queda por llegar.
Decidida a descubrir la verdad, Cia comenzará una investigación sobre los secretos más oscuros y mejor guardados del gobierno, que deberá mantener oculta. Lo que descubrirá es la cruda realidad que acecha detrás de las amables caras de sus compañeros de clase, y la desagradable verdad de que los líderes elegidos para protegernos pueden ser nuestros peores enemigos.
"Las impactantes revelaciones de una posible rebelión contra el gobierno dejará a muchos lectores esperando con impaciencia la conclusión de la serie."
Kirkus Reviews
"La gran pregunta sin respuesta de La Pruebas¿Por qué es tan cruel? se aborda en esta segunda parte, con un ritmo trepidante y lleno de encrucijadas y traiciones, directo a un sorprendente final."
Booklist
"Los fans de La Prueba estarán encantados con esta nueva entrega y esperarán ansiosamente el final de la historia."
School Library Journal
"Una tensa historia en la que la traición, el engaño, y el peligro se van entrelazando. Charbonneau hace un uso excelente de la distopía en una historia enrevesada que da justo en el blanco."
Publisher's Weekly
"Charbonneau ha creado una trama elegantemente organizada que mantendrá al lector enganchado y preguntándose qué va a suceder La tensión y el conflicto mantendrá la expectación del lector cuando el simbolismo y la complejidad de los personajes y el diseño de la trama se descubra."
Voya
Cia, que por fin ha conseguido entrar en la universidad tras superar la Prueba que le daba acceso y la Iniciación propia de Estudios de Gobierno, escucha por casualidad un plan que no solo endurecerá los requisitos para acceder a la universidad, sino que también incluye un derrocamiento del gobierno. Cuando comparte esta información con la presidenta de las Confederaciones Unidas, Collindar, esta le ordena matar a doce oficiales para desbaratar el plan. ¿Debe obedecerla Cia? ¿Debe acabar con la vida de unos pocos para salvar la de muchos? ¿O desencadenará esto una espiral de violencia de la que no se podrá salir?
La graduación concluye la compleja trama de la trilogía de La prueba: Cia y un pequeño grupo de aliados deben poner fin a la prueba y descubrir qué ha ocurrido con los estudiantes que suspendían los exámenes de acceso o eran redirigidos. Pero no será fácil. Hay muchos alumnos cuya lealtad sigue siendo dudosa, y mantener la integridad es difícil cuando todo el mundo intenta matarte.
"El retrato que pinta Charbonneau de unos Estados Unidos devastados e intentando recomponerse es fascinante, lleno de sorpresas y preguntas complejas sobre el bien y el mal. Igual que en los libros anteriores, Charbonneau se centra más en las preocupaciones filosóficas y en los problemas éticos que en el espectáculo y el derramamiento de sangre, con varios niveles de lectura y giros argumentales para que los lectores no dejen de hacerse preguntas."
Publishers Weekly
"Conspiraciones, contraconspiraciones, mentiras y dobles subterfugios: es más todo lo que necesitas."
Kirkus Reviews
"Charbonneau ofrece un emocionante suspense que los fans de la serie adoran."

“Wow! Shades of Fahrenheit 451 and Orwell’s 1984. Painfully real and urgent. Read this book.” —Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of the Gone series
Bestselling author Joelle Charbonneau’s eerily timely, high-stakes page-turner is destined to start important conversations at this particular moment in our history.
Meri Beckley lives in a world without lies. When she looks at the peaceful Chicago streets, she feels pride in the era of unprecedented hope and prosperity over which the governor presides.
But when Meri’s mother is killed, Meri suddenly has questions that no one else seems to be asking. And when she tries to uncover her mother’s state of mind in her last weeks, she finds herself drawn into a secret world with a history she didn’t know existed.
Suddenly, Meri is faced with a choice between accepting the “truth” or embracing a world the government doesn’t want anyone to see—a world where words have the power to change the course of a country and where the wrong ones can get Meri killed.
