About the Novel:
Divergent is a story about a dystopian society where members fall within a particular faction and one girl who falls among many. Beatrice Prior was born in the Abnegation faction. This faction believes in selflessness among everything else. But Beatrice never felt that she fit in. During testing, Beatrice discovers that she exhibits tendencies from three different factions: Abnegation, Erudite and Dauntless. This is unheard of and she is warned never to reveal that she is Divergent. At the choosing ceremony, Beatrice decides to become Dauntless, and changes her name to Tris. During the initiation process into this new faction, Tris learns more about herself and what it means to be Divergent, including the dangers that come with it. She soon discovers a plot hatched by the Erudite that threatens the very fabric of their peaceful society.
