DIVERGENT By: Veronica RothIn the future, society is divided into five factions, each representing a different virtue: Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Once every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives, leaving everything they hold dear behind. It's a difficult time for any young adult, but even more so for Beatrice Prior. As Beatrice begins to settle into her new life, she discovers that there is a growing conflict within her (seemingly) perfect society. Now it's up to Beatrice to stop the unrest before it tears everything she knows apart. But Beatrice has a secret. And, even though it could save everyone that she loves, if anyone where to discover what she was, Beatrice would be sentenced to death. Ages 14 and up. Katherine Tegen Books $17.99 Reviewed by Maggie
