 * [[image:divergent.jpg]] || **//Divergent//** is set in a dystopian* world. Society is composed of five factions. Candor (the honest), Abdegnation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Children live with and are raised by their parents who could be one of any of the factions. At 16 you choose which faction you will be a part of. Many automatically choose what they know -- they choose the faction they were raised in. Whatever you choose, it's for life. If you choose a different faction, you will move and might not see your family after that. Your life will be extremely changed. This is a page turning thriller.
