More than 8,000 teens voted in the 2010 Teens' Top Ten, with Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins topping the list. Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year! Nominators are members of teen book groups in fifteen school and public libraries around the country. Nominations are posted on Support Teen Literature Day during National Library Week, and teens across the country vote on their favorite each year. Readers ages twelve to eighteen voted online between Aug. 23 and Sept. 17 to choose the winners.

- 1. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
- 2. City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
- 3. Heist Society by Ally Carter
