Divergent, by Veronica Roth, is the new “it” book and soon-to-be movie.  Similar to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Maze Runner by James Dashner,  this novel is a part of the dystopian genre.  This book is about Tris Prior whose life takes place in the future, where society is split into five factions.  Each faction has their own beliefs on how to make the society better.  Abnegation focuses on selflessness, Amity is for the peaceful, and Erudite focuses on intelligence.  Dauntless is for the brave, and Candor is about honesty.  Every sixteen year old must choose their faction, meaning they can stay in the one they are born into or move away from their family to join another.

Tris leaves Abnegation for Dauntless and shocks everyone, including herself.  She finds out that she is Divergent, a rare quality that could lead to her death if anyone finds out. She is put to the test both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Between her new friends and a new love interest, Tris has to do everything in her power to protect her secret and everything she cares about from one power hungry leader and the revolution. As a perfect mix of action and romance, the Divergent series are great books for young adults.

Divergent the film is coming to theatres in 2014.  Packed with A-list actors such as Shailene Woodley and Kate Winslet, the director, Neil Burger did not have much trouble getting the word out about this film.  In fact, many Hunger Games fans have now become Divergent enthusiasts. Divergent, the movie is coming to theatres March 21.
