I can't say I agree with the list, though it is interesting:
I don't like Potter and Hunger Games at the top. To Kill a Mockingbird is a good pick. I don't consider Dune or The Lord of the Rings to be 'teen' novels, though they acknowledge in the story that's a tough call to make.
The fact that Eragon makes it on any list of books that is not meant to ridicule said books is unfortunate.
Kristin Cashore should be higher up.
For those who hate Twilight, it beat out Pratchett, Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea books, Dune, Garth Nix's Abhorsen books (which should be much higher on the list), and Howl's Moving Castle (which should also be higher on the list), among others.
Enjoy!
