This list of "top" books from the past five years was compiled by members of the Young Adult Literature course at the University of Wisconsin - Stout
in the fall of 2007. Students in each "group" were asked to
nominate their "top five" titles -- no repeats were allowed. Once
a book was nominated it was on the list and others were asked to
identify an alternate title.
