Graduation Day by Joelle Charbonneau
Synopsis:
In a scarred and brutal future, The United Commonwealth teeters on the brink of all-out civil war. The rebel resistance plots against a government that rules with cruelty and cunning. Gifted student and Testing survivor, Cia Vale, vows to fight.
This is the chance to lead that Cia has trained for – but who will follow? Plunging through layers of danger and deception, Cia must risk the lives of those she loves–and gamble on the loyalty of her lethal classmates.
The stakes are higher than ever—lives of promise cut short or fulfilled; a future ruled by fear or hope–in the electrifying conclusion to Joelle Charbonneau’s epic Testing trilogy. Ready or not…it’s Graduation Day.
Review:
After the devastating events in Independent Study, Cia no longer knows who she can trust within the resistance. But she’s just as determined to take down The Testing once and for all. Despite their pasts, Cia needs to look at her classmates in a new light and either keep them out of the way or give them a chance to redeem themselves.
Graduation Day is the third and final installment in the Testing trilogy – a pulse-pounding, dystopia. The mystery, suspense, danger, and drama has all been leading up to this thrilling finale. And with several surprising twists along the way, I was once again impressed. It’s a dark, haunting story with enough hope to keep readers captivated and engaged. This has been my latest top pick series that I’ve been recommending for fans of the Hunger Games. And this is an author I’ll certainly be watching for future releases.
