Review after the jump ... if you haven't read the first book (Divergent - review here) this will contain some basic spoilers you might want to avoid!

Free Four
You can download it today for a variety of eReaders. I bought the Kindle version for my iPad and it was only $0.99!!
The Summary from HarperTeen
#1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth retells a pivotal Divergent scene (chapter 13) from Tobias's point o view. The thirteen-page scenes reveals unknown facts and fascinating details about Four's character, his past, his own initiation, and his thoughts about new Dauntless initiate Tris Prior.
Plus, if you have already read the books, it is a great time to pull out the discussion guide. What are discussion guides good for? Well, you can talks things out with your teens, you (as a teen or lover of YA fiction) can start a book club and use them as guidelines, as a librarian you can create a program around them or just have them out for teens to pick up.
The Discussion Guide is available for free from HarperTeen.
Finally, check out Veronica Roth's Blog for some more tidbits about what we can expect in the future!

Insurgent is Coming Soon!
I am counting down the days to Insurgent! Divergent left us hanging (thanks Veronica Roth!) and I'm so excited to see how the story continues.
If you are like me, Divergent isn't totally fresh in my mind ... luckily Veronica Roth decided to give us a little refresher before we read the book. Click on the pic below and it will take you to her site.
Just a few more days! I can't wait to read more about Tris, Four, and everyone else!

Divergent
There once was this book that I picked up at the library, it looked like a book like any other. It sat on my shelf for weeks before I picked it up to read it. And then something magical happened, the book was incredible and I couldn't (wouldn't!) put it down. What was this incredible book you ask?
There are five fractions in this new world, Abnegation (the selfless), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Before she was Tris, she was Beatrice - the girl who wasn't happy and not sure what to do about it. After a particularly worrisome test score, she keeps a huge secret and makes and even bigger choice, to leave the faction she was raised in and become a Dauntless. It isn't all that easy though, because Tris isn't really a Dauntless - she is Divergent.
In a world where being Divergent is dangerous, imitation might kills you, at the world can come crashing down at any moment Tris still has to deal with "normal" problems like boys, friends and bullies.
The twists and turns in this novel won't let you put it down. Be prepared to pull and all nighter and sigh with disappointment when it ends. Lucky for you, the next book, Insurgent, comes out May 1st and you don't have to wait that much longer!!
