Here are the top 10 circulating fiction titles at Cairo American College for 2018 . How many did you read?

(Links are to the CAC MHS library catalog record for the title.)

10. Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins  Written in 2008, this book is still in the top 10. Go, Katniss!!

 

9. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J.K. Rowling

The second book in the series seems to have been the most popular this year, but all of them still circulate well.

8. Gathering Blue, by Lois Lowry

Set in the universe of The Giver, this story is about a handicapped and gifted girl who must work for the all powerful Guardians.

7. The Empty Kingdom, by Elizabeth E. Wein

This is book 2 in the series Mark of Solomon. I loved Ms. Wein’s historical fiction novels set in World War 2 with their courageous female spies. I highly recommend that series too!

6. The Elite, by Kiera Cass

Also book 2 in a series: The Selection. Cinderella-ish romance in a post-apocalyptic world. We have several novellas set in that universe on our Overdrive collection.

5. Camp Nine, by Vivienne Schiffer

I have been seeing more and more titles set during the Japanese internment of World War II. This one is new to me, so I’ll be reading it this year!

 

4. The School for Good and Evil: A World Without Princes, by Soman Chainani

The second book in series has been very popular this year! This is the fourth one in this list of 10 ten.

3. Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon

Now a movie. Nicola Yoon is a very popular author at our library!

2. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie

Another book still going strong more than 10 years after publication.

1. The Inquisitor’s Tale, or, Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog, by Adam Gidwitz, illustrated by Hatem Aly

The illustrator for The Inquisitor’s Tale visited CAC last school year. Very glad to see his book in the top spot for fiction in 2018.
