Divergent – Chapter 1

Welcome to Divergent by Veronica Roth. I’m a public school teacher in Mississippi, and I created this audiobook series to give my students a way to stay connected to powerful stories—whether they’re in class, on the go, or reading along at home. In this first chapter, we meet Beatrice Prior, a sixteen-year-old girl preparing for the biggest decision of her life: choosing the faction where she’ll spend the rest of her future. In her world, where society is divided by values like honesty, bravery, and selflessness, that choice means everything. 🔊 This chapter sets the stage for the world of Divergent—a place where identity, loyalty, and freedom collide in unexpected ways. 📖 Divergent is the first book in a bestselling trilogy that explores courage, conformity, and what it means to think for yourself. It’s a gripping story full of heart, danger, and unforgettable characters. 👉 Follow this playlist to hear the entire story read aloud—chapter by chapter—as Beatrice becomes someone the world didn’t see coming.
