Veronica Roth
1988
Stephenie Meyer and Suzanne Collins – authors of “The Twilight Series” and “The Hunger Games Trilogy,” respectively – are not the only authors to read when it comes to books for young readers. Veronica Roth is emerging as a prominent and best-selling author in her own right. “The Divergent Trilogy,” as it is known, is Veronica Roth’s first set of novels that have already made it to the New York Times Best Sellers list. Ask an adult if she has heard of Veronica Roth and the response may not be immediate. However, ask a teenager and the answer is sure to be a definite “yes.” Most adults find however, that after reading just one of Veronica Roth’s novels, they, too, have found characters they can identify with, and a story that is both captivating and intriguing.
