That's exactly what the assignment said.  I'm assuming the teacher was thinking along the lines of utopian/dystopian fiction, but who knows.

Margaret Peterson Haddix writes a series of books, the Shadow Children series (Among the Hidden is the first) about a time when parents are limited to a certain number of children and only allotted a certain amount of food and so on.  It folows these "shadow children" as they have to live a life of secrecy because of all of the government control.  I don't know if that helps or not!? They are good, get you thinking books.

"Z for Zachariah" by Robert C. O'Brien

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve

The HG, obviously. Specifically Mockingjay, since its focus is mostly the governments and their war.

I'm glad you mentioned Little Brother, since I've been meaning to read it. It's back on my radar now.

I wonder if Ender's Game would be appropriate?
