I’m a huge dystopian fan, and an even bigger DIVERGENT fan, so when I knew that one of my 8th grade boys, who is a huge reader, had not yet read it, I knew I needed to recommend it to him and his group to read together. I’m so glad he liked it! This is definitely one of those books that hooks teen readers in my experience.

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.During
the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames
herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out
the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical
tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with
devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must
determine who her friends really are–and where, exactly, a romance with
a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life
she’s chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she’s kept hidden from
everyone because she’s been warned it can mean death. And as she
discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her
seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help
her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
