Tammy's Top Ten Tween Books for 2012

This is a totally biased list...the only qualifications are that it was published in 2012; it would appeal to "tweens" (ages 9-12); I read it; and I liked it.  So there are LOTS of other great books from 2012 that didn't make "my" list--mostly because I didn't get a chance to read them.  I am forever behind in my reading.  But here are my "Top Ten Tween" favorites from the year that you might also enjoy!
