A note for parents
This is the first book in Veronica Roth's bestselling Divergent series, a dystopian YA novel centered on identity, choice, and resistance to oppressive systems. While the story features some violence (combat training, conflict with authority), it's typical for the YA dystopian genre and not gratuitously graphic. The book emphasizes themes of courage, self-discovery, and standing up for what's right, making it appropriate for mature teens but better suited to ages 14+.

The worldwide sensation as you’ve never seen it before. Step into a bold new Divergent series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth. Beatrice Prior stands on the brink of a decision every person in her world must make: five factions, five futures, five lives. She has a plan: she's going to make the bravest choice, and leave Abnegation behind to join Dauntless, even though it means leaving her family behind. But when tragedy strikes at her Choosing Ceremony, everything changes—her world, her plans, even Beatrice herself. Her ensuing decision thrusts her into the crosshairs of an underground rebellion, and into the path of a boy with secrets as dangerous as her own—a boy with only a number for a name. One choice will change everything. The series that took the world by storm: The #1 New York Times bestselling series, with tens of millions of copies sold worldwide. A global sensation translated into 40+ languages. A breakout phenomenon that defined the YA dystopian genre. A major motion picture hit and blockbuster film franchise. “The next big thing.” — Rolling Stone
