How was the top ten decided?

We asked publishers to send us the new and upcoming books they're most excited about, then young people from Bolton Library, Skipton Library, College of West Anglia, Darwen Aldridge Community Academy and Bristol Library chose the ones they want to recommend to summer volunteers.
