Well, it's that time of year again. The time of the lists. The time that I *love*! It's been a pretty stellar year in kidlit this year, and I found myself arranging and rearranging my Top 5 list. This year, unlike previous years, I am sticking to the tween titles. This list doesn't attempt to be balanced at all. And of course, there are only the titles that I read that I am considering. That said, the list is pretty sweet, if I do say so myself!
What Happened on Fox Street, by Tricia Springstubb
The Kneebone Boy, by Ellen Potter
One Crazy Summer, by Rita Williams-Garcia
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, by Tom Angleberger
Turtle in Paradise, by Jennifer L. Holm
So there you have it!
What are your favourite 2010 books for tweens?

I am having a hard time picking my top 5! I haven't read Turtle in Paradise yet but I loved the rest of these titles.
Hmmmm--
The Kneebone Boy for sure, and probably Origami Yoda as well.
I also loved the fresh funny voice of Donna Gephart in How to Survive Middle School, and the empathetic Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper.
