The Hunger Games
If you enjoyed reading The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay bySuzanne Collins, I can recommend that you read Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi, and the first two books in the Lorien Legacies (I am Number Four and The Power of Six) by Pittacus Lore.

Laters
by Ngaire Vakaruru. Published by the author, 2011, Auckland
Fourteen-year-old Mary is not a happy teenager, who has started to test the limits imposed by her family. The decisions she makes and risks she takes do not seem out-of-the-ordinary, but they do have devastating consequences.
Many teenage issues are highlighted in the story, from family relationships, internet safety, rape, suicide, to unwanted pregnancy.
I liked the book. Ngaire Vakaruru has written a good story about teenagers, for teenagers.
