“Charbonneau jumps into the packed dystopia field with a mashup of Veronica Roth’s Divergent and Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy, but she successfully makes her story her own.”
— Kirkus Reviews“Charbonneau is a fantastic story teller and this book is a tribute to that background. The intrigue in The Testing passes evaluation of what a good dystopian novel should represent.”
