We continue our Banned Books series, airing episodes that have been banned or challenged around the country. This week, it’s Vernica Roth’s dystopian adventure Divergent. Back in 2015, Ashland High School in Oregon banned Divergent because – according to the school’s online <a href= "https://theroguenews.com/19251/arts-enter/banned-books-at-ashland-high-school/"> newspaper</a> - the book “shows a girl fighting against society which we do not want to strengthen.” What do you think? Give a listen to our discussion of Veronica Roth’s Divergent. We venture into a dystopian universe created by writer <a href="https://veronicarothbooks.com">Veronica Roth</a>. Divergent is a tale about finding out where you fit in – and whether you’re brave enough to take a literal leap of faith. Our celebrity reader is the 2018 Ms. Senior California and a familiar voice on KUNV <a href= "https://www.ritapardue.com">Rita Pardue</a>. Our readers are from Benjamin Trasker Middle School and we taped the episode at the Bowie, Maryland branch of the <a href= "https://www.pgcmls.info/branch/location/Bowie">Prince Georges County Memorial Library</a>. Kitty Felde is host.
