Vote For Your Favorite YA Book at NPR Books
The Books section at npr.org is compiling a list of the best young adult novels. They aim to make a top 100 list and have narrowed it down to 235. "In winnowing the roster to a manageable size for voting, we considered both a book's popularity...and the question of how well it fits the YA category. The judges looked at qualities such as a book's themes, the age of its main characters, its reading level. But in the end, the most important test was often whether a given book is one that teens themselves have claimed - whether they do, in fact, voluntarily read it." Vote for your favorite or nominate a neglected candidate here (hmm, I don't see Bridge To Terabithia or A Wrinkle In Time...).
