Top 20 Circulating Books in 2009 in the Children's Department

It is exciting to see what people are reading.  It was no surprise that Twilight, along with its sequels, were in the Top 20.    What was surprising was the Book Thief coming in at number 2.  I highly recommend this book.  It is well written and thought provoking as well as emotionally draining.   It was great to see Judy Moody as well as The Lightning Thief.
