Divergent

What if you had to decide how you wanted to spend the rest of your life at age 16? A decision that decides your family, friends and job?  That's what happens to the people in the book Divergent by Veronica Roth.  Every person at age 16 must decide which faction they want to live in, they can choose from being Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).  But what if your divergent and have more than one of those qualities... how do you decide which faction to go to?  Find out when you read it!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

When a white woman decides to write a book about the black maids she didn't know what she was getting into. Her friends have left her,and she was always checking her back.  To hear their stories she had to drive places she would never have dreamed of going on purpose.  Her saying thank-you to her maid surprised her maid and she wasn't sure what to say back.  From her strict mother to the maids' stories this book has it all!
*The movie leaves out a lot of the details, so even if you saw the movie the book is a must!*

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good book!
