INEXCUSABLE
Summary:
Keir, a senior football player, appears to be a good guy, polite and popular. However, is he guilty of an "inexcusable" crime against Gigi, a girl he adores?"I am a good guy. Good guys don't do bad things. Good guys understand that no means no, and so I could not have done this because I understand." Book Talk: Keir is a popular high-school senior. He's a good son, good brother and star football player and he's not afraid to tell us so. The story begins with the ending after graduation when everything went out of control - and it isn't good. Keir charms us, giving us glimpses of events leading up to that point, but everything is not as it seems and perhaps Keir isn't the wonderful guy everyone accepts him to be. |

DIVERGENT Discussion Guide
Book Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior lives in post-apocalyptic Chicago where society is divided into five factions: Amity (kind), Erudite (intelligent), Candor (honest), Abnegation (selfless) and Dauntless (brave). Beatrice and her brother, Caleb, must take an aptitude test that will tell them which faction they are best suited for and then choose which they will join. Where they join determines the value they will commit to for the rest of their lives.
During the aptitude test, Beatrice is injected with a serum that simulates several scenarios. She is judged on her reactions to these scenarios. After the test, the administrator tells her the results are inconclusive. Instead of having aptitude for only one faction, Beatrice shows an aptitude for three — Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite — a result the administrator says makes her Divergent. The instructor warns Beatrice to not share the results with anyone because those who are found to be Divergent are killed.
