The Teens’ Top Ten is a “teen choice” list where every title is nominated and voted on by teens. The 2012 nominations have been posted on the YALSA website so that teens across the country can read them all summer.
The voting will be happen over August and September, and the winners will be announced during Teen Read Week in October. The Teen’s Top Ten list is chosen by teens, but if you’re an adult who reads YA lit, there is a list for you too!
