Florida Teens Read winner
Hi, I'm a little late but the winner of the 2007-2008 Florida Teens Read award was Uglies by Scott Westerfield. Second place went to Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. Both books were very popular here at CSHS and so I am not surprised that they garnered the most votes. Every book was good, and many students were reading them. Congratulations to the few students who read every book on the list!
