The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the first in a compelling trilogy... The second book is Catching Fire and the third one is due out this year - Mockingjay. They would be suitable for high school students and mature intermediate school readers.
Here is an entertaining review of the first book The Hunger Games by Elizabeth Bird on her great blog http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1790000379/post/90029009.html
And I've just come across Amity School's Bethany Media Centre http://www.bethanymediacenter.com/Home.html which created their own version of The Hunger Games in three parts - a trivia challenge based on the books, a physical challenge and a cornucopia challenge.
There is a description of what they did on their blog if you want to check it out http://amitybooktalk.blogspot.com/2010/03/hunger-games-party-activities-and.html
and a related tab on their website for the actual resources they created for the games http://www.bethanymediacenter.com/hungergames.html
