Top Ten Books To Read If You Like
The Hunger Games
Winning will make you famous.
Losing means certain death.In a dark vision of the near future, twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live TV show called the Hunger Games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed.
When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sister’s place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
Warrior Teens
The teens in these novels aren’t afraid to get dirty to save their lives or the lives of those they love. I picked these five because they remind me of Katniss’ ‘kill or be killed’ dilemma.
- Divergent by Veronica Roth
- Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden
- Poison Study by Maria V Snyder
- Inside Out by Maria V Snyder
- Shift by Kim Curran
Butt-Kicking Teen Girls in Fantasy
The teen girls in these novels are all some kind of warrior, like Katniss. But instead of being in a futuristic-based dystopian, these are all fantasy novels.
- Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
- Graceling by Kristin Cashore
- Ash & Bramble by Sarah Prineas
- Storm Siren by Mary Weber
- Sabriel by Garth Nix
