Book 2 of the Marks series!
__________________________________
Everyone in the base has a place, a job to do, a purpose. As the children become more and more capable jobs must be found for them as well. Yet, how do you decide?
By running all the children of age through a series of tests to test their abilities.
Atta and Blake are treated with respect. At least, more than the other children. Chief has taken them under her wing and there is no greater honour. But will either of them be able to take her place in the future? Chief isn't so sure.
The siblings absolutely adore getting into trouble. They are constantly caught red handed in the act of stealing, pranking, and being places they shouldn't be.
Conflicted feelings rise when their mentor informs them of the new series of tests all children of age must do. But as the tests are explained, the children see them as games that are a bit on the intense side. So, instead of calling them the exams, as the adults do, the children decide to call them "The ranking games".
