Breathe by Sarah Crossan

Breathe is an action-packed novel about the idea that our world will run out of oxygen and the only way to survive this apocalypse is to live under the Dome, a place where oxygen is available.  Three teens venture outside the Dome and the entire book is based on their experiences with limited oxygen.  A positive element is that these teens use teamwork and perseverance in order to survive.  A negative element is the mature content.  I recommend fans of dystopic novels like The Giver to read this.  This appeals to ages 11 and up.
