This is actually NOT one of the awards lists that I use for collection development anymore. Like many other librarians I've spoken to, I found that the list peaked with "How I Live Now", and hasn't had a book on it that was popular with teenagers since.

This is one of my favorite lists of best books. 90% of what I've bought based on these recommendations have flown off the shelves. Their also some of my favorite books for book talks because I enjoy reading them while preparing the book talk!
