__________________________________
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".

Selected (Book 2 of the Immune Series)
"As far back as I can remember, I've been surrounded by water. The salt in the air even now makes it hard to breath, forcing me to squint. Sand clings to every inch of me, caking my pants and shoes. The wind from the ocean picks my hair up, sending it blowing back towards the multi-colored houses lining the shore line. *** 'Quinn, don't panic,' Lexi says through gritted teeth. She holds fistfuls of my shirt now, and I hear the rubber soles of her shoes squeaking. 'Too late,' I whine, grabbing the barbed wire in a last desperate effort to regain some balance. The razor sharp blades cut into my palms, making me jump again. Lexi sucks in air and loses her grip on me. I hold my breath and close my eyes, feeling the wind cradle me from all sides as I fall at about twenty-four miles per hour, considering the height of the wall and my weight. Now, I wish I was surrounded by water." South of Compound 4, another compound exists. Within the wall of Compound 5, children are trained and tested for perfection through the Intelligence Exam, a test that every student takes during their sixteenth year. Pass, and you stay within the compound. Fail, and you are sent to another compound. It's common knowledge that they are building a perfect population to remain when the rest of the world falls to the Virus. Yet, what happens when Quinn faces the threat of Compound 5, a short blonde girl whose name he can't pronounce, and begins to question everything he's ever been taught, pushing the limits of the system and his own comfort zone? When a student receives the compound's first ever perfect IE score, a storm makes its way in from the ocean. Can Q unravel the secrets held within the walls, or will he lead his family and friends to a war they can't win against a woman who seems to be triumphing against all odds?

But when her father doesn't return home one day, her entire life is way out of proportions. Her mother began to abuse her, and threatened the safety of Jane's sisters. After years of suffering to keep her sisters healthy, Jane acts out and murders her mother. Now Jane begins her life of being a runaway criminal. She now realizes the consequences of what she has done and is forced to leave her sisters at her aunt's house alone. Though Jane's mother pushed her to the edge of the line and further, the fifteen year old still feels as if it's her fault. Running away from her terrible deed, she learns of betrayal, death, forgiveness, and what it takes to survive in the criminal world. She'll meet the one who'll save her, a foe from the past, and even face the death of herself. With her mother's death haunting her every move, Jane's whole world is falling apart, and she can't do anything except run.
