"The City of Ember" ($9)

Jeanne DuPrau, like Suzanne Collins, crafts a story about courage and survival in this novel. In the book, a group of architects, scientists, and doctors build Ember, an underground city with enough resources for its people to survive for 200 years. Almost 250 years later, there's a shortage of supplies, and two young members try to figure out a way to save the city.
