"Valor's Calling (Children of Valor #2)" by Kal Spriggs
https://www.amazon.com/Valors-Calling-Children-Valor-2/dp/1985733498/

Book number two of a ten book young adult science fiction series. There
is also a two book sequel series and a seven book sequel series,
nineteen books in all. I read the well printed and well bound POD
(print on demand) trade paperback self published by the author in 2017
that I bought on Amazon in 2026. I own book #3 and have ordered books
#4, #5, and #6 in the series.

Jiden Armstrong is the older child of two archaeologists on the dry,
dusty planet named Century. Jiden is fourteen planet years old which is equivalent to sixteen Earth years and was forced by her parents to
attend and graduate from the five month military prep school that her grandmother runs. She then interned at a logistics and supply company
which blew up in her face when she notified the planetary authorities
that people in the company were selling stored military spare parts off planet. Now she is attending the Century Military Academy as a plebe.

This is a great story about making mistakes and overcoming difficult situations to make something of yourself. Somebody online recommended
this book to me and I really enjoyed the book. If you are a fan of
Heinlein juveniles then you will probably love this book also.
