YALSA's 2005 Teen Top Ten announced.

From ALA.org:

TTT is a part of YALSA’s Young Adult (YA) Galley Project, which facilitates access to advance copies of young adult books to national teen book discussion groups. These groups evaluated books that were published from January 2004 through October 2005, and created a list of 78 nominations for the best new books for young adults. Teen voters across the country then cast ballots for their three favorites, creating 2005 Teens’ Top Ten booklist of the best new books for young adults.
