"Valor's Duty (Children of Valor #3)" by Kal Spriggs
https://www.amazon.com/Valors-Duty-Children-Valor-3/dp/1718986734

Book number three 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 2018
that I bought on Amazon in 2026. I now own books #4, #5, and #6 in the
series and plan to buy the #7 to #10 soon.

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 after
her misbehavior to attend and graduate from the five month military prep school that her grandmother runs for the planetary military. 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 third year cadet. And the
academy is making it mandatory to have implants installed in your brain.

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.
