Teens' Top Ten Nominees

In case you didn't know...YALSA sponsors the Teens' Top Ten list every year. Nominees are chosen by teens around the country then you get to read them and vote on the winner. After the voting, YALSA publishes the winners as the Teens' Top Ten and it helps other teens with some ideas of books to read. My favorite part of this process is that it's teen-centric. Teens nominate and teens vote. Anyway...here's the list of nominees for this year. We have some of these at our library and can get most of them for you.
