There's only two out right now. Hunger Games was okay, not that great. It didn't inspire me to read Catch Fire (the second one). I think the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld is superior if you're wanting to do YA dystopian. Westerfeld has a new series that is a steampunk alt-history of WWI. The first is called Leviathan, and it's out. I'm very, very excited to read it. Little Brother by Cory Doctorow is really good YA dystopic as is Rash by Pete Hautman.
