Books similar to the Hunger Games?

[lazarusb]

Dd and ds have both been addicted to reading these - in a way they haven't been since reading Harry Potter. Can anyone suggest anything similar for Christmas presents please?

MotherofSoup - yes its by Michael Grant and the full series is now published

am i the only person who hated the patrick ness series?

the john wyndam recommendations are a good idea. i'd've lapped those up aged 13.

Bleak House is my favorite Dickens novel. How are you finding it?

Belle I really like it. I'm a third year degree student so most of my reading is academic at the moment. Bleak House gives me a nice little escape when I get a bit of spare time!

Was going to say Patrick Ness as well
