Brooklyn Bridge by Karen Hesse
Sixteen year old, Katniss Everdeen lives in Panem, the future North America that is made up of 12 districts ruled by the Capital. Each year on reaping day, two people from each district are picked for The Hunger Games, a televised survival game. When Katniss’ sister, Prim, is picked, Katniss volunteers to go in her place. The games are required viewing for the citizens of Paneam and they watch until there is only survivor. The book is violent, full of drama, and even a little romance. The story will keep readers on the edge of their seats and the ending will cause them to “hunger” for more.

Second. This is one of my favorites from 2008. Karen Hesse has captured teh times of the 1900's in New York in the voice of teenage Joseph Michtom and in the homeless children of the laternate story. Great metaphors for "lucky" and for family.
