Phoenix by SF Said or The Wind Singer by William Nicholson.

Reckless by Cornelia Funke and the books that follow (series of 3 I think)

Greyhound of a Girl by Roddy Doyle

Splendors and Glooms by Laura Amy Schliz

anything by Sally Gardner - especially the new one, The Door to Where.

Thank you, will have a look at all those, I wish she would have a kindle ( she likes to hold a book ) as she gets through so many books, luckily she will re read some, she has read the hunger games books several times. I have ordered her the Olympus books ( new percy Jackson books ) and will get her a few others.

My 10yo DD is currently engrossed in the first of His Dark Materials trilogy she got for Christmas (Northern Lights).

Other dystopian books are (and these are by UK authors so that might be nice):

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve (a series - very good)
Echo Boy by Matt Haig (stand alone)
Split Second by Sophie Mckenzie (series)

Good books, but not dystopian:

The Scorpio Games by Maggie Steifvater
Ink heart by Cornelia Funke

An excellent series is Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. It's a series that requires a little bit of maturity but if she has read Hunger Games then it should be fine.
