I've heard a lot about the Hunger Games trilogy, and have always wanted to read these as kids at school (at least some of my more able ones) have started to kip into these. I really enjoyed the first book and finished it in under a day - whilst suffering from jet lag - so not bad!!! Its the story of Katniss who finds herself in a situation where she has to fight for her life in a big brother-esque game show. It certainly was a page turner, and I was surprised by the violence (I don't know why as I knew that it was a fight to death kind of story) especially given its younger target audience. Maybe I'm just surprised that my 8-9 year olds are reading it... I would think it was more appropriate to 11+. I enjoyed this though and at some point will borrow the 2nd and 3rd one to read.
