Aaah this list needs a librarian already; there are books here (all the Ransome's) that are not on the source list.

Peter Duck: A Treasure Hunt in the Caribbees
Picts and the Martyrs or Not Welcome at All
Removed Foster Fox: A 10,000 Lakes Tale , as not also featured on the original list.Also flagged as self-promotional spam the author's accompanying message, which seems to have surfaced on numerous lists in a matter of hours or even minutes, soliciting reviews and including a link to the book's facebook page.
I think it's rather amusing that it is (probably) all adults voting for these books instead of kids.
True. And as a matter of fact, I for one actually would be interested in finding out which of these books appeal to kids and YA readers. (Other than "The Hunger Games" which, at least if more teens were voting on this list, probably would be ranked a lot higher ...)
When Teddy Was In The Wash and Not Just a Princess look like they don't belong here.I also doubt that Iris Investigates: Beastly Goings On In Pelican Wharf, Declan Grows Up: It's Just Not Fair, or Enzo Flashfire: The Birth Of Spyridon Five are supposed to be on this list, as well.
ETA: Anything by David Jacks I'd check very thoroughly. There are several of them (at least 5), and I'm dubious about all of them.
Oh yes -- I'm reminded I had already placed some of his books on my own watch list as well. All gone from this one now!
I think Iora & the Quest of Five is also not on the list. (The fact it's not organized alphabetically makes it harder to search!)
I'll delete Declan Grows Up, as I see it's still there.Weeding is never done!
ETA: Also Not Just a Princess.

I believe My First Travel Book (at the top of the list presently, with 18 votes) can be removed. It is most certainly not on the source list.
I removed a bunch of books by self published spammer authors, the usual suspects, the ones who put their own books on every imaginable list. I also added the rest of the books from the original Scholastic list. This list should therefore have 100 books on it and no more.
This is a list put together by the Scholastic publishers and it consists of books from their catalog.
So the original url for the list doesn't work. I trust Fjóla's votes and judging by those it seems like Rosie Revere, Engineer: A Picture Book and Number the Stars should be removed?
