Boasting similar themes and likeability to the Hunger Games, students in their teens will devour this read. Set in a futuristic Chicago, society is divided into a number of ‘factions’, all representing a different way of life. On one day every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For the main protagonist, Beatrice, this choice will mean choosing between her family and her destiny and happiness. The first in the Divergent series, this story is filled with heartbreaking betrayals, consequences, and unexpected romance.
