ALLEGIANT
"Being the last of the 'Divergent' series by Veronica Roth, Allegiant is a book that will definitely keep you interested. It is worth 17 points, and took me a while to read but was worth it. The ending is really good and is an amazing way to end the series! I was not disappointed, and really liked it. There is a lot of conflict and information thrown at your face, and you'll be surprised by how the book progresses and end up. Have a good read!" (Recommended for grades 6-8) - Kaylee M
