Emily St. John Mandel's novel Station Eleven goes a lot into cult like thinking. It is set partially in the US after a flu wipes out most people in the world and leaves some towns to cults that develop because of the lack of law and order. There is a travelling group of actors and musicians who travel through some of these towns. They are a big part of the novel.
It might be a good read for this friend's granddaughter. It was a National Book Award finalist around 2014.
Also very well written and thoughtful about just about everything. Is one of the really deep books you find once in a great while.
