Each year, the Young Adult Library Services Association creates a Best Books for Young Adults book list. The committee accepts input from teens on the nominated titles. The final list is comprised of titles that are good literary quality and are popular for teens age 12-18. The list is composed of both fiction and nonfiction books.
Fiction is equally varied with science fiction - Uglies by Scott Westerfeld - general fiction - Wrecked by E. R. Frank - and humorous adventure - Flush by Carl Hiaasen.
