Teen's Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year! Nominators are members of teen book groups in five school and public libraries around the country -the 2007 nominees were chosen by book groups in Connecticut, Kansas, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Utah, selected for their experience in discussing books.
Readers aged twelve to eighteen can vote online anytime during the Teen Read Week for their favorite books. Teens read as many titles as they can so they can make informed decisions about their favotire books when they vote. Teens can tell their books groups, youth organizations and any other groups they belong to to vote. The more teens who participate, the more accurately the winning list will reflect the reading tastes of teens all over the country.
