Maybe **Maze Runner**? It’s very different from LoF, but it has that young people making a society and such.

> ***Tomorrow, When the War Began*** is the first book in the Tomorrow series by John Marsden. It was published in 1993, and is a young adult invasion novel, detailing a high-intensity invasion and occupation of Australia by a foreign power. The novel is told in first person perspective by the main character, a teenage girl named Ellie Linton, who is part of a small band of teenagers waging a guerrilla war on the enemy garrison in their fictional home town of Wirrawee.

**Fantasticland** is a horror told entirely through a series of interviews given by the survivors of a pretty terrible experience: basically there was a giant hurricane that cut off this creepy, retro (but still functional and operating) waterfront amusement park from the world/rescue for 30 days. When rescuers finally got in there, they discovered a horrific scene of grotesque and ritualized murders all over the grounds. The interviews try to glean what happened and who was responsible (hint: there was no ghost or serial killer who happened to be there on the day it happened… definitely gives me Lord of the Flies vibes).

I think it’s out of print but if you can dig up a copy of The Grounding of Group Six, it would definitely be worth your time.
