The finalists for Teen Choice Book of the Year, the teen component of the Children's Choice Book Awards, are always partially predictable (romances, fantasy, vampires, and dystopia tend to do well) with a small element of surprise (realistic fiction). Every story has a coming of age component but the environment is often what sets the tale apart. The Teen Choice Book of the Year finalists were selected by around 4,000 teenagers who participated in a poll on teenreads.com. If you're dying to see your teenager pick up a book but he or she claims not to have the time and, frankly, isn't interested in your recommendations anyhow, suggest they take a look at this list of peer-recommendations:
Burned (House of Night, Book 7) by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast - Read the first chapter!
Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, Book 5) by Richelle Mead
Fang (A Maximum Ride Novel) by James Patterson - Read an excerpt!
Happy Reading!
