These books aren't in any particular order and I just wanted to add some of my personal tops which aren't on this list because not enough of us had read them yet or I had not even read them when we made this list!
Schooled by Korman - In some ways it reminded me of Stargirl. I'm not convinced it will have the staying power to remain one of my top picks for this award, but I did like it and I will be recommending it as a must read to many adults and students I know.
Friskative Dog by Susan Straight - It's a quiet book, but it's stayed with me since I read it early in the year.
Faeries of Dreamdark - BlackBringer by Laini Taylor - Fresh from the last page of this book I was saying it was the next Harry Potter. I don't know if I still feel that strongly, but I do still love it and I'm still eagerly awaiting the next book.
