Divergent

Written by Veronica Roth

A book for readers in grades 9 and up reviewed by Adanya

    

Divergent is the first book in a dystopian trilogy set in a society that is organized into five factions: Amity, Erudite, Candor, Dauntless, and Abnegation. When Tris takes her aptitude test, she gets surprising results: she’s Divergent.

Tris transfers to the Dauntless faction, where she meets another Divergent named Four. Together, Tris and Four try to keep their secret while keeping the balance between the factions.

I would recommend reading Divergent because it has many lessons, such as that it’s okay to be different, that the decisions you make have big consequences, and that only you can choose to be who you are.
