Cinder
Cinder by Melissa Meyer
Cinder is about a futuristic world where a plague is rapidly consuming the population. Cinder lives with her evil stepmom and is a cyborg, part machine, part human. Her younger stepsister catches the plague and is sent of to the quarantines from which people never return. Cinder's stepmom volunteers her for plague vaccine testing and Cinder finds out that who she has believed herself to be may not be true.
This is a great story for fans of fantasy/sci-fi; it's a very interesting remake of the traditional Cinderella story.
