16 Dystopian Books to Read If You Couldn't Put Down "The Hunger Games"

"Gregor the Overlander" ($6, originally $9)

Before "The Hunger Games," Suzanne Collins wrote this other widely adored book. The series shares elements of the drastic with its sibling series. Centering on the adventures of a boy named Gregor, it's about the Underland, a world underneath New York City that's inhabited by both humans and giant animals. Like The Hunger Games, it explores serious political themes like war and genocide.
