LIBRARY BOARD & STAFF PICK

Student Page,
Martha Augustines Top Pick
Divergent
by Veronica Roth
In a future Chicago, sixteen-year-old
Beatrice Prior must choose among five
predetermined factions to define her
identity for the rest of her life, a decision
made more difficult when she discovers
that she is an anomaly who does not fit
into any one group, and that the society
she lives in is not perfect after all.
