Actually, that title should read ''Top Ten Teen Books Jill Read in 2010''. And she's read a few. These are her favouritest of favourites and it was a tough choice. She's discounted books that were part of a series - perhaps a bit tough, but otherwise she'd still be choosing. Why not [mailto:sue@thebookbag.co.uk tell us] about yours?

|title=No and Me

|author=Kat Falls
|title=Dark Life
|rating=5

|title=Trash
|rating=5
|summary=Wonderful adventure set in an unnamed South American country and featuring "dumpsite" children who earn their living by sorting through rubbish. Moving and thought-provoking and ever-so-slightly whimsical, it combines a mystery story and social comment to wonderful effect.

{{topten
|author=Keith Gray
|title=Losing It
|rating=5
|summary=Short stories about virginity by some of our leading writers for teens. Disparate, thoughtful, sweet and funny - they add a great deal to the conversation about teen sex that we all have, most importantly the teens themselves.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1849390991</amazonuk>
}}
{{topten
|author=Jenny Downham
|title=You Against Me
|rating=5
|summary=A book about love, loyalty and choices. Beautifully written and tremendously moving, it's a worthy follow up to the phenomenally successful ''Before I Die''.

|author=Gillian Philip
|title=Firebrand (Rebel Angels)
|rating=4.5
|summary=Gorgeous new fantasy series from one of Bookbag's favourite teen authors. It's all good fantasies should be: vital, charismatic characters, intensely personal stories, big, arching themes. Don't miss this one. It'll win prizes. You'll see!
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1905537190</amazonuk>
}}
{{topten
|author=Gemma Malley
|title=The Returners
|rating=5
|summary=Wonderful exploration of free will versus determination set in a near-future Britain facing the rise of the extreme right. There's a slightly supernatural element - and it's thoroughly chilling. Intelligent, thought-provoking stuff from Malley as usual and kudos to the way she manages to produce it without any loss of tension.
