Synopsis: In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into
five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue:
Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave),
Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day
of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which
they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is
between staying with her family and being who she really is; she can’t
have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including
herself. (Credits to Scholastic)
