| | |  Teens vote HP 'favourite young adult book'
The American Library Association has an article about what teens voted as their favourite books. Quote:
Teen readers across the country voted "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" as their favorite book to take the #1 spot on the annual Teens' Top Ten (TTT), sponsored by The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA). The vote took place during Teen Read Week October 17-23, 2004, and gave teens an opportunity to voice their choice of the best new young adult books.
Quote:
With Rowling's fifth Harry Potter novel topping the list, the 2004 Teens' Top Ten includes:
1. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling (Scholastic, 2003) Fantasy.
2. Eragon by Christopher Paolini (Knopf, 2003) Fantasy.
3. Pirates! by Celia Rees (Bloomsbury, 2003) Historical Fiction.
4. Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce (Random House, 2003) Fantasy.
5. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (Chicken House/Scholastic, 2003) Fantasy.
6. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray (Delacorte, 2004) Supernatural.
7. The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale (Bloomsbury, 2003) Fantasy.
8. Princess in Pink by Meg Cabot (HarperCollins, 2004) Realistic.
9. The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler (Candlewick, 2003) Realistic.
10. Curse of the Blue Tattoo by L.A. Meyer (Harcourt, 2004) Historical Fiction.

Yaahh! Go hp!
Harry Potter books can be good for smaller children (someone reads to them) teenages, and even adults so I think it's great that the voted that way!!
