Teen Top Ten Winner for 2008
The Teen' Top Ten Award for best novel of 2008 is Stephenie Meyer's Eclipse. Wait a minute. Eclipse beat out Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows? I demand a recount! Oh well, there is no way to argue with the 8,000 teens who voted - they knew what they liked.
Westerfeld's Extras came in at number nine. I've read the other books in the series so I had better get this one I guess! It makes me proud to be so hip. :-) I actually know three of the books in the top ten.
Maybe next year we could try voting too. It looks like Meyer's The Host has been nominated for 2009. I had better track down a copy soon.
