Moira Young's Blood Red Road
Pretty decent YA dystopia about a girl whose brother is kidnapped for heretofore unknown reasons and she vows to find him (with their little sister tagging along). But it's a dystopia, so things aren't that easy. (Except that she keeps handily meeting people with helpful information.) Not a huge amount of world-building, but I think this is more about the character and her growth and her adventures, which are all well-done. I did like a lot of the sidekick characters that she collects--a fun motley assortment. And there was a romance, but it was pretty minimal in the grand scheme of things. B+.
