{{topten |author=Alison Goodman |title=Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye |rating=5 |genre=Teens |summary=[[Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye by Alison Goodman|Eon: Rose of the Dragoneye is a completely gorgeous fantasy set in an ancient Oriental world, drawing on Chinese myths and tradition. Complex, vivid, and with themes of difference, it's a classy, classy read. Highly recommended. For those who enjoy a creepy and contemporary thriller raising the thorny issues of stalking, internet privacy, and post-traumatic stress we can recommend Deathwatch by Nicola Morgan. It's exceedingly well done, and completely in tune with its readers. Top notch stuff. Dark Angels by Katherine Langrish is an evocative supernatural historical fantasy with a flavour of Alan Garner. It's beautifully written. Jenny Valentine comes right out of left field in her kitchen sink dramas with a twist. Broken Soup has a tremendously sympathetic and engaging central character and huge dollops of intense love and pain. For thos who enjoy black humour, teen angst and family crisis combined with an issue-based thriller we recommend Bedlam by Ally Kennen. |amazonuk=
