Just finished The Hunger Games trilogy.... What can I read next?

[VoldemortsNipple]

Any recommendations?

I'm trying to avoid re-reading my favorites.

any of the teenage Eva Ibbotson (I would start with the Morning Gift)

Rachel ward Numbers?

Melvin burgess sara's face
Kate Cann - possessing rayne

they're teenage, all of them, but they're what I was reading around the time I read the Hunger Games first time round cos i read it for the Waterstone's children's book prize and i loved it loved it loved it

Mortal Engines series - think it is by Philip Reeve
The Knife Of Never Letting Go trilogy - Patrick Ness
Across The Nightingale Floor series - Leanne Hearne
Noughts And Crosses series - Malory Blackman (but not the fourth one because it is shite)

Bloodtide/ Bloodsong by Burgess based on Volsunga Saga, but in dystopian setting and reminiscent of Hunger Games.

www.amazon.co.uk/Bloodtide-Puffin-Teenage-Melvin-Burgess/dp/0141306890/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332789170&sr=1-1

Ooh thanks everybody, will have a look at those. I feel like I've lost my reading mojo lately until I read the Hunger Games trilogy in a weekend :-)

Scott Westerfield - Uglies/Pretties series

Sabriel/Lirael/Abhorsen by Garth Nix.

The Magician's Apprentice series by Trudi Canaven.

Divergent by Veronica Roth it a v similar
Dystopian theme to the hunger games

I very much enjoyed it. It also has a female lead character caller Tris

Shade's Children by Nix is better
Magician by Ramond Feist
There's the Tommorow When the War Began series - they're good, but are YA books.
Anything by HM Hoover.

Tomorrow even

Second Patrick Ness

I was going to say Tomorrow When The War Began as well. Really good.

Ooh, Pom, is it good?! I really enjoyed Sabriel etc, quite enjoyed Keys To The Kingdom, and thought that the Ragwitch was rubbish. I'm sort of reading the colour light series (can't remember what it's called - keystones or something?) but I lost track of where I was so sort of gave up

I like Shade's Children the best of any of Nix's work, it is less fantasy and more sci-fi than his others, sort of. I can't really explain without spoilers, it's a dystopian "after a disaster" thing set in our world "in the near future". I really enjoyed it and have read it more than once. I hated Ragwitch too

Apologies to OP, and sorry to divert: I posted a thread in Children's Books about whether The Hunger Games is suitable for a DC in year 6. Those of you who have read them, could I ask you to be kind and say if you think they are?

What's year 6? Is that 10-11 year olds?
There's nothing actually in any of the books that would worry me too much. There's killing, which a child may find a little scary. There is no sex, no swearing.

I think I'd let a 11 year old read it.

Thanks! Yes, he'll 11 and the books seem to be doing the rounds in his year at the moment.

The Children's Book thread is here, so any further responses could perhaps go there, rather than cluttering this thread, which is asking for something completely different.

I have never found anyone that has read the Tomorrow series. Please pretty please will someone talk to me about them? I adore them and reread them often, someone (not me) pleeeease start a thread about them!

Ok, have started a thread over on children's books.

The Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver is really good. Its set in a Dystopian Society and I read that after The Hunger Games and really enjoyed it.

trilogy ?
what have i missed?
i read the first book, i didn't know there were more!

Pom, I read Shade's Children! Very good :) it reminded me of another book, but I can't remember which one at the moment.

I love dystopian type novels anyway, for any age.
