PAPERBACKS:
Variant by Robison Wells
Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.
He was wrong.
Now he's trapped in a school that's surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A
school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no
adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive.
Where breaking the rules equals death.
But when Benson stumbles upon the school's real secret, he realizes
that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death, and that
escape--his only real hope for survival--may be impossible.

discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate
that awaits her.

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
I’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
push,
push,
push,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.

A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
Long ago, in a time
forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a
land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is
brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of
Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the
kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks
of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were
born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime
kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies,
soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a
time of grim omens.
Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter
The last thing Cammie
Morgan remembers is leaving the Gallagher Academy to protect her friends
and family from the Circle of Cavan--an ancient terrorist organization
that has been hunting her for over a year. But when Cammie wakes up in
an alpine convent and discovers months have passed, she must face the
fact that her memory is now a black hole. The only traces left of
Cammie’s summer vacation are the bruises on her body and the dirt under
her nails, and all she wants is to go home.
Once she returns to school, however, Cammie realizes that even the Gallagher Academy now holds more questions than answers. Cammie, her friends, and mysterious spy-guy Zach must face their most difficult challenge yet as they travel to the other side of the world, hoping to piece together the clues that Cammie left behind. It’s a race against time. The Circle is hot on their trail and willing stop at nothing to prevent Cammie from remembering what she did last summer.
