(4) YA Ann and Lep learn dangerous truths about the XCAS, mandatory standardized tests that seal one's future. In this near-future dystopia, those enforcing high-stakes tests are responsible for society's ills. The heroes manage to bring down the rich and corrupt through sheer will in this pat but encouraging morality play, where good triumphs and the guilty are punished with dirty dishes.
