| The House of the Scorpion. Disturbing. Timely. |
| Ally Condie's Matched Trilogy Series |

For a younger teen (my DS is 13), he liked Neal Shusterman.
Some of these other suggestions are great books, but it depends on age and reading level. |
Yikes! Missed the Teen/Tween head. |
| My 9th grade students literally fight over who gets to read Scythe |

There are two dystopian novels called Feed fyi (I know a kid who was assigned to read Feed over the summer and read the wrong one).
One is about the US where a virus causes people to become vampires. The other is about kids being able to get media jacked directly into their brains. I read the first (which begins a trilogy I think) and it was very good. |
No way would I call The Road a book for tweens, MAYBE older teens, but maybe not. |
| My AP English Lit students LOVE The Road... In fact, I don't think anybody has ever said they disliked it, which is quite remarkable considering the breadth of our curriculum. |
