NEW YORK (AP) β€” Veronica Roth is in a giving mood.

The multimillion-selling young adult author is backing a holiday season campaign that supports First Book, which has distributed millions of works to children in need over the years.

For every $2.50 given to First Book, publisher HarperCollins will donate a copy of Roth’s “Divergent.” The fundraising effort was announced Monday.

The campaign has the hashtag #abnegationDonation.
