Best Kids/Teen Books Read in 2011

I went back through my reading journal yesterday and found that I read a total of 68 books in 2011.  Thirty-two of those books were for kids, teens, and YAs, and 36 were adult books (for a tally of the grown-up books, check out my year-end post at Book By Book).  Of the 32 kid/teen books:

• 2 were picture books
• 11 were middle-grade novels
• 19 were teen/YA novels
• 6 of the kid/teen/YA books I read were audios

I read so many good books this past year - it is always hard to choose favorites - but after much deliberation, these are my Top Ten Kids/Teen/YA Books Read in 2011:

• Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card (can't wait for the sequel!)
• The Roar by Emma Clayton
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling (just as good the second time around)
• Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork
• Thunder Over Kandahar by Sharon E. McKay (audio)
• Shiver, Linger and Forever by Maggie Stiefvater (I know it's cheating to lump all 3 together!)
• Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
• Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly (audio)
• Alibi Junior High by Greg Logsted
• Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu (audio)

All in all, a very good year!
