Maybe it has something to do with entering middle school or the onset of teenage angst, but the future doesn't always look so bright and rosy for young readers. Which is probably why novels set in dark, foreboding future worlds — like Suzanne Collins's riveting Hunger Games series — are so popular. Check out our selection of dystopian delights for kids!
