You can find these books in TeenSpace. An annotated booklist will be available shortly. You have the rest of the year to read at least 3 of the books in order to be eligible to vote for your favorite in January 2008. With the Teen Summer Reading Program almost upon us, the summer would be a good time to read and review some of these books and possibly win a Summer Reading raffle prize in the process.
I’ve read 10 of the finalist books and I’m having a hard time deciding my favorite. As you read the books, let me know your thoughts.
