Since the release of Divergent in the holidays, girls have been asking for more dystopian novels. This is my second blog on this topic, so if these books don't appeal, have a look at the other blog (from when The Hunger Games came out). All of the following books have been bought for the library, but be patient if they haven't hit the shelves yet - some were only unpacked today!
It's also worth having a look at these blogs for recommendations. Remember that if it's not in the library I can't get it in for you unless you tell me about it!
