Is Divergent Appropriate for Your Tween or Teen?

by Carolyn | Adventure, Discussion Guide, Dystopian Future, Girls, Highschool, Movies, Young Adult

The Divergent Series by Veronica Roth is a thrilling narrative of a 16 year-old girl and her battle for self-identity. Told in a first-person present-tense voice, the character Beatrice Prior is reminiscent of Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games. However, unlike...

My husband is a pediatrician, so when I see a book My husband is a pediatrician, so when I see a book like GOD CARES FOR ME, I immediately think to buy a few copies for his office. But this story resonated so much with my youngest daughter that we're keeping a copy for our house as well.⁠
⁠
Author @scott_h_james is also a pediatrician and a parent, so he's seen sickness from multiple angles. And his perspective in this book is incredibly helpful. He gently urges kids to shift their focus away from themselves to trusting in God and caring for others. ⁠
⁠
This book is both timely and timeless, and I highly recommend it. (Full review coming soon on @story_warren)⁠

Readers have asked me for more adventurous books t Readers have asked me for more adventurous books that boys would like, and I think the Lost Art Mysteries series by Deron R. Hicks fits the bill. Boys and girls alike will be pulled into these fast-paced novels that read like a spy thrillers. They'll be so engaged they won't mind learning a little bit about art along the way. Maybe they'll even ask to visit an art museum after reading these! (Let me know if they do!)⁠⁠

It may be back up to the 70's now, but we're still dealing with a boil water notice in my area. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I've got so much to be thankful for. Our power never went out. Our pipes didn't burst. We got to enjoy the company of my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and their two-year-old who didn't have power to heat their home. And we had enough food and bottled water that we didn't have to venture out on icy roads to face the bare shelves at the grocery store.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Still, with trying to feed nine people and boil snow, I didn't do much reading (other than Hippos Go Berserk to my niece) or writing (other than a few descriptions of snow). The snow was magical, but so is running water.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
All that to say, I've got more bookish posts coming soon.
