Divergent
by Veronica Roth
About This Book
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).
On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. But her transformation reveals dangerous secrets about her society and forces her to confront difficult questions about identity, loyalty, and love.
Why Hunger Games Fans Will Love It
Like The Hunger Games, Divergent features a strong female protagonist challenging a rigid dystopian system. Tris's journey of self-discovery and rebellion against societal expectations mirrors Katniss's arc, with the added intrigue of a faction-based society and the mystery of what it means to be "divergent."
