Divergent by Veronica Roth
Starting October 1, enter the world of Tris, Tobias, Will and Caleb. Living in a
futuristic society where residents
are separated into one of five distinct groups, or factions, these teens must
follow the beliefs and laws of their chosen faction or fend for themselves on
the streets.
Meet these complex characters as they begin a journey of
self-discovery in the critically acclaimed bestselling novel Divergent by
Veronica Roth - this year's One Book Charleston County.
 Divergent, the first in a trilogy of novels by Roth, is
receiving rave reviews and being compared to the blockbuster, The Hunger Games.
Attracting the attention of Hollywood, the novel is being released in March as
a major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet.
This intense, thought-provoking novel is the focus of this
year's One Book Charleston County, an effort to unite local residents to read,
attend events and discuss the core topics in a single book.
The library has more than 450 copies of Divergent available
for check out at its 16 branch libraries. Additionally, the book is available
on audio CD and can be downloaded free as an eBook or audio book (click here to
go to our downloadable media page). With its layers of depth and questions
about conformity vs. independence, Divergent is perfect for book clubs and book
discussion groups. Book Club Kits, each with 15 copies plus suggested
questions, can be reserved through the library's catalog. And, throughout
October, the library is hosting Divergent-themed events ranging from
presentations about the class structure in historic Charleston to a day of Star
Wars-related activities, including costume contests, a movie and characters
dressed as Stormtroopers and Tusken Raiders.
