    Sixteen-year-old Malencia (Cia) Vale is chosen to participate in The Testing to attend the University; however, Cia is fearful when she figures out that her friends who do not pass The Testing are disappearing.

    The Testing trilogy is a series that some readers find frustrating, as it seems to follow a formula similar to other popular YA novels, like The Hunger Games, and features a protagonist that may not resonate with everyone.
