SUMMARY:Veronica Roth Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:Courage\, Choice\, and What Comes Next with Dystopian Icon Veronica Roth \nTOMS RIVER – Join Veronica Roth\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent series\, for a virtual discussion at 7 p.m. Thursday\, October 1\, presented by the Ocean County Library. Get a sneak peek at The Sixth Faction\, the highly anticipated novel by one of the most iconic young adult authors of a generation. \nFifteen years after readers first stepped into dystopian Chicago alongside Tris Prior\, the Divergent universe continues to captivate readers with its unflinching exploration of \nidentity\, courage\, and sacrifice. In the alternate universe of The Sixth Faction\, we revisit familiar characters in a completely new way… \nBeatrice Prior stands on the brink of a decision every person in her world must make: five factions\, five futures\, five lives. She has a plan. \nShe’s going to make the bravest choice and leave Abnegation to join Dauntless\, even though it means abandoning her family. \nBut when tragedy strikes at her choosing ceremony\, everything changes – her world\, her plans\, and Beatrice herself. \nHer decision will thrust her into the crosshairs of an underground rebellion\, where a boy with secrets as dangerous as her own – a boy with only a number for a name – \nmay be the only person she can trust. One choice will change everything. \nOcean County Library cardholders can place requests now to borrow The Sixth Faction when it comes out on October 6. \nTo place a request\, visit tinyurl.com/FactionOCL or call or visit your local OCL branch. \nRegistration is required for this free program. \nTo register\, visit tinyurl.com/RothOCL\, call 732-349-6200\, or stop by your local OCL branch. \ntinyurl.com/RothOCL
