Very difficult choice but Wereworld won it for me. Well done everyone
I'm utterly amazed, though, that with this number of votes there aren't more comments. Nick Lake's In Darkness is tipped to be HUGE next year - a crossover book for kids and adults alike.
I for one would love to get my hands on a copy, but as A) I'm in the Cover Wars and B) Nick used to be my editor at HarperCollins, I'll opt out of the running for it and let one of the ten - JUST TEN! - other commenters get their hands on it.
