If you liked The Hunger Games, Try ____________.

The Handmaid's Tale still freaks me out. Like I said, I'm reading "John Carter" right now. Neither are what I would consider "Young Adult" books. There is a book by Robert McCammon called "Swan Song" that is a pretty interesting post-apocalyptic book (and the scariest book I've ever read in my life.)

If you like dystopian novels check out Delirium.  It's part of a trilogy and the third one should come out early next year.

I also like Enclave.  The second book comes out this fall.
 

The Matched Trilogy is also on my list of books to read.

The Matched Trilogy is also on my list of books to read.

There is also a series that starts with a book called Gone where all the adults have disappeared from the planet and left kids behind to figure out how to live.

I've read the first one in the Matched series and I need to start the 2nd one. 

I really like the writing of Scott Westerfeld.  He makes his characters, especially his female protagonists, smart, charming, and witty, and then fills them with just enough angst, waffling and unsure of themselves-ness to be believable teenagers.

In the young adult category, check out the "Uglies" series - the trilogy of "Uglies", "Pretties", "Specials" as well as "Extras"  which is the same world but different characters. 

And, in the steam-punk category, he's got a series starting with "Leviathian" which reimagines the beginnings of WWI in a steam-punk landscape.  Which turns out to be very interesting for adult readers (or those who know a little about the real WWI) - an archduke is murdered, alliances between countries require support in the event of war, Turkey is waiting in the wings - much more interesting than a history textbook!

I also liked the first "Maze Runner" book by James Dashner.  However, the second went downhill and the third was completely unsatisfying - the author used the "wave the magic wand" method of resolving the plot that had been evolving through the three books.
