Top 25 Children's Novels I Read in 2008

Okay, here is another list of books I liked that I read last year. These are all children's novels (appropriate for kids 9-12). These are my top 25, I didn't know which five to cut to make it 20 so you get all 25. Again, they are in no particular order. If there are any listed as sequels, I do recommend reading them in order.
