First Selection: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Welcome Shoreline students, staff and parents. Shoreline Reads is our new literacy initiative based on a "one book, one school" approach. We hope to unite our school community through discussions about great books.

Our first selected is Divergent by Veronica Roth, a post-apocalyptic novel which has been compared to The Hunger Games. The majority of our staff has already read the book and had an online discussion about it, the first part of which (based on Chapters 1-10) can be found here. Discussions about the next few sections will be posted shortly!

In the meantime, we'd like to open up this forum to any interested participants who want to discuss this book.

After you've read the book, tell us:

- What did you think of the book?
- What are you still wondering? What unanswered questions do you still have?
- Did you make any connections to other books? To your life?
- What parts really stuck with you?
- Anything else you'd like to comment on.

Please feel free to come back and respond to other comments. All comments are moderated and reviewed before they will appear online, so please keep it school appropriate!
