The Teen Top Ten for 2009!

The votes are in and the winners have been announced! Drum roll please...

Number 10: Graceling, by Kristin Cashore. This is a great read for fantasy fans.

Number 9: The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, by E. Lockhart. Contemporary fiction about a most unusual high school girl.

Number 8: Untamed, by P.C. & Kristin Cast. It's easy to get hooked on the House of Night series about a vampyre finishing school. Don't miss it!

Number 7: Wake, by Lisa McMann. Believe me, you don't want dreams like Janie gets in this book.

Number 6: The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman. How would you like to grow up in a graveyard, with ghosts for parents and friends? For a special treat, check out the audio version read by the author.

Number 5: Identical, by Ellen Hopkins. You can always count on this author to deliver a heavy-duty, gut-wrenching story. This one's no exception. Not for the faint of heart.

Number 4: City of Ashes, by Cassandra Clare. If you liked the first in this series, City of Bones, you'll love this one. Our Teen Book Club gave it 5 stars!

Number 3: The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. You won't be able to put this one down, and luckily you can jump right into the sequel, Catching Fire. I loved these books!

Number 2: Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer. Enough said.

And the best book of 2009, according to teens across the country, is:

Number 1: Paper Towns, by John Green. This book would be most appreciated by high schoolers who have suffered through a difficult relationship. Serious and funny at the same time, it really makes you think.

There are some really great books here, so check one out the next time you're in the Library!
