Paramount has optioned Joelle Charbonneau's young adult thriller The Testing for film. The book, published just this week by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, is the first in a trilogy. (More details, below.) Deadline reports that no additional production details were made available at the time of the announcement.
Charbonneau is also the author of two mystery series for adults, the Rebecca Robbins "Skating" mysteries (for Minotaur Books) and the Paige Marshall "Glee Club" mysteries (for Berkley Prime Crime).

The Testing Trilogy
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.
