The Peters top ten children's bestsellers

The Top Ten of 2010

The Graveyard Book

A look back at last year's top selling titles - at first glance, the chart bears a striking resemblance to last year's Carnegie Medal shortlist, with only two out of the ten titles not having graced that list - Jacqueline Wilson's Little Darlings and Andy Stanton's Mr Gum and the Cherry Tree. In fact, it's only Little Darlings at number 8 which gets in the way of a straight top eight of Carnegie titles.

Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, having won the Carnegie Medal (plus a plethora of other awards, including the Booktrust Teenage Prize), sits at the top of the chart, and is our biggest-selling title of the year by volume.
