Test
William Sleator

Standardized Testing Thriller
William Sleator has come up with another winner. The climate in schools these days is fraught with tension about testing. Even wee kindergartners are now dragged into it. It's out of control and TEST, a semi-futuristic teen thriller, neatly incorporates the fears and ...
