A Challenge: Teen Best Seller List

I talked about this last night on both twitter and facebook, but I've come to the conclusion that if Harry Potter can single handily create a series best selling list - than teens, librarians, and teen authors could come together to try and create a teens bestselling list. The majority of the Children's Bestselling Lists are teen books - so not much would have to change. In some cases it's as simple as putting up a completely different heading.

How can we get the rest of the world to stop seriously about teen literature if the industry doesn't?
Spread the word and let's see if we can get a conversation going.
