Best of 2010 - Teen NOOKbooks

Some of the most engrossing books published this year were aimed at teen readers -- a smart, savvy, and eminently discriminating audience with far-ranging tastes. Escapist fare included superbly nuanced paranormal romance, as well as well-crafted genre fiction and dark dystopian tales like Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Important, more problematic teen issues were explored in several critically acclaimed novels, including Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall and Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly.
