8000 Teens voted this year to choose the Top Ten books of the year, and the winners have just been announced. Read 'em and let us know what you think!
It's probably no surprise that the final book in Suzanne Collins' trilogy topped the list: Catching Fire tells the heart-stopping tale of Katniss Everdeen, the double winner of the Hunger Games. Fantasy novels were in high demand this year - others winners included Cassandra Clare's City of Glass (prequel to Graceling), and the third in the Mortal Instruments series, Fire by Kristin Cashore.
If you're not a fantasy fan, there's also something for you on the list: Laurie Halse Anderson, the incredible author of Speak, doesn't disappoint with Wintergirls, an intense story of a girl trying to overcome her eating disorder - or perhaps really, her own self-hatred. Another intense story, If I Stay by Gayle Forman, pulls no punches in its compelling portrait of a girl whose life is forever changed by a car accident.
If mystery and high stakes adventure are more your taste, check out Heist Society by Ally Carter. One reviewer calls it "daring and delicious" with enough twists and turns to keep you up late, racing to the end.
