Divergent



Tris seems like your typical teenager... but she lives in a not-so-typical society. She lives in a Utopian society located in post-war Chicago where they are divided into factions (groups) and that determines how they will dress, what they will do, and who they will live with. She lives in a society where having multiple qualities is frowned upon and considered "threatening". They call it Divergent. Tris takes an aptitude test to determine which faction she will choose when she is 16, but runs into a small problem... she is Divergent.

She always knew she was different and thought she didn't "fit in", but never expected to be a threat to society, she never expected to be Divergent. Tris has to try to choose a faction where she can "blend in" and can't let anyone know she's different. She also has to later on decide if she is going to conform with this society or do something about it.
Tris is easy to relate to because she really is your typical teenager, with no special superpowers except that she is different. It shows that different is really a good thing not a bad thing.
