Here are the Palisades High School top ten. There are so many other popular other titles - these are the ones that circulated the most since Sept. I think a lot of historical fiction was signed out and renewed throughout the year - but the students do like these titles!

Misery (King)

Cut (McCormick)

This Lullaby (Really every Sarah Dessen title circulates like crazy – this one just showed up in the top ten!)

Witch Child (Rees)

Tropical Kiss (Coffey)

Doomed Queen Anne (Meyer)

Horseman (Golden)

Search and Destroy (Hughes)

At the Sign of the Sugared Plum (Hooper)

Breathe (Brasme)
