When I did my Favorite Picture Books post and my Favorite Children's Novels post, I thought it would be an excellent idea to tackle Young Adult novels too, even if there was no poll being currently conducted for them. Then lo and behold NPR decided to conduct one Go here to vote on this poll. (Sounis-the ultimate meeting place for all Megan Whalen Turner fanatics-also conducted a more unofficial one.) There was a problem with these in that they limited the number of selections to five. Five? I had a hard time limiting my other two lists to 10. So, here where I make my own rules I am giving you my Top 10 (and a link to a bunch of others that didn't quite make the top 10).
If one book from a series is here, you can count the whole series as being represented. Some of these book (ie Chime, Saving Francesca) SHOULD NOT be judged by their covers. In no particular order, here are my top 10:
What are some of your favorites?
