Teens Top Ten Nominations - Final 8



Because the voting was moved up this year, I will not have time to finish out the list before voting starts (Voting starts today!). This post will have all of the reminaing books that I have not posted before now.


Geek Charming by Robin Palmer
Dylan's middle name is "crisis." It seems to follow her wherever she goes. First she catches her boyfriends staring at another girl. Then her beautiful designer bag takes a swim in a fountain. However, along with crisis comes opportunity, and Dylan's Beverly Hills world is about to be turned upside-down.


Metling Stones by Tamora Pierce
All life, both plant and animal, on the Battle Islands is mysteriously dying. Stone mage Evvy responds to the islander's call for help. They need her magic to solve the mystery. Accompanied by her friend and mentor, Luvo, she uncovers the deep secret revealed by the stones and the volcano. Will it be in time to rescue the children?


Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
Alice was kidnapped when she was young and is forced to pretend to be a little girl to please Ray. She could never escape and wishes for death. Soon her wish will become true, as she has become too old and now she must find Ray a replacement for her.


Eternal by Cynthia Leitich Smith
Zachary, a guardian angel, has, against all rules, fallen in love with his charge. When he sees Miranda sleeping in the shadow of death, his attempt to save her hurls her into life as a vampire princess and exiles him from heaven.


Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith
Becasue she wants to fly and to support her soldier brother, 18 year old Ida May Jones passes for white amidst obstacles of race and gender and joins the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II.


Wherever Nina Lies by Lynn Weingarten
Two years after 16 year old Ellie's older sister, Nina, disappeared, Ellie pieces together clues to her whereabouts and heads out on a road trip that leads to murder and mystery with her hot new boyfriend, Sean.


Impossible by Nancy Werlin
This gentle story details young teen Lucy's rape and subsequent pregnancy, with an amazingly supportive cast of a faithful boyfriend and loving parents. A fairy tale set in the present, with flashes of realism and romance.


Absolutely Maybe by Lisa Yee
Maybe (short for Maybelline, her mother's favorite mascara) leaves home and heads to California on a mission to find her biological father, and avoid her mother's planned wedding number seven.
