The Teens' 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 sixteen school and public libraries around the
country. Nominations are posted on
Celebrate Teen Literature Day, the Thursday of
National Library Week, and teens across the country vote on their favorite titles each year.
