More recommendations from the World Book Day 2011 survey.
Laura Nicosia: The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
This is one of the best series I've EVER read- it is written with a craftsman's hand and pushes the boundaries of YA and dystopian fiction in ways that engage all readers and touch lives.

He writes about modern France and its relations to the wider world from a froeign, specifically british, point of view. His writing is accurate but hilarious. It rekindles an interest in French culture that may have been quashed through grammar exercises and French politics!
Kel: Rampant by Diana Peterfreund
The protagonist is a kick-butt teenager named Astrid who fights killer unicorns and finds herself in the process. I'm always looking for a good literary role model for my female high school students.
Michael: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Schaffer and Anne Barrow
It has history, biography and it is a very human book!
emmao: A Room of One's Own, by Virginia Woolf
Simple, easy read, inspiring, contemporary.
