City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau stands as another classic Young Adult Science Fiction novel. That series also has a tone of mild sadness that runs through each book.

Well, I think you have to keep in mind that while the Hunger Games Trilogy was good (at least some of us think so ), there are some really incredible books it is up against.
