Title: Fabulous Korean Four: Autobiographies Author: James Park, Andrew Mun, Joseph Park Narrator: Charlotte Duckett Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-16 Publisher: The Hermit Kingdom Press Genres: Teens, Bios & Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the introduction: This book of autobiographies by Korean middle-school students is something that is needed for Korean studies and Korean-American studies, in my opinion. Because this book contains our voices, this book is very powerful. In a sense, we are documenting our own history. Because our lives are like the lives of other middle-school students who are Koreans, I believe that this book contains an important history for everyone who listens to this book. I hope that teachers in middle school, high school, and college will listen to this book so that they can understand their Korean students better. Koreans who have contributed to this book come from different backgrounds. Joseph Park is a recent immigrant to the United States, and his father is a regional editor of a big Korean newspaper in the New York and New Jersey area. Andrew Mun is a taekwondo master in his own right, and he is the son of a very famous taekwondo master, who has the biggest taekwondo dojang in Bergen County, New Jersey. Andrew's mother is a famous hairdresser in the Korean community and her hair salon in Palisades Park, New Jersey, is always packed. My mother does her hair there and loves it. Brandon Woo is a saxophone player whose parents support him in everything that he wants to do. Brandon Woo's parents own a famous Korean restaurant, called Do Ka Bi. I just love their logo, which is in Brandon's autobiography. The food is great, so if you are in mood for some Korean food, you should definitely visit Do Ka Bi Korean Restaurant in Leonia, New Jersey, which is right by the Leonia Post Office. All of them and I have shared our lives with you and I hope that you will find much that will be interesting for you. biacuaduc@gmail.com (James Park) Fri, 21 Oct 2016 13:46:40 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Fabulous-Korean-Four-Autobiographies-Audiobook/B01MA62MWF thebookvoice.com 02:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: greatest book ever my god, this book may be the greatest book I have ever looked at. I mean the action, romance, comedy, drama, and the surprise ending... wow, supurb! now let me tell you, this rapes anything that the great JD salinger and his book about those fields of corn can attempt to create. as a matter of fact, those harry and his friends can go play in those fields of corn, because this book, THIS BOOK, is AMAZING. That korean trio, their adventures are better than anything hucklberry fin has ever had. And i know, deep in my heart, that those three boys will be the best of friends, such good friends in fact, that they may have difficulty finding a female partner that can fill the void that the other two fill in each others' hearts. Soooo pretty much, its a badass book, but what would a anonymous person, who I might add is a bonefide genious, know about a book that he's never even read? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Korean-Youth-Transitions-Audiobook/B00CP9JGSQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I could hardly hit the pause button. maybe it is just me but I felt encapsulated by the love between two brothers in this incredible reveal of the intimate life of Vincent Van Gogh. we live in a time of such media overload that it is difficult to feel like we can make an impact on this world but this story has helped me see that this is no new problem. I only wish that I could emulate this type of artistic dedication with such skill as he did. I am glad to know this story and you will be too story and speaker kept me engaged throughout One of the more interesting Van Gogh books. it followed the two brothers from childhood to death. it also highlighted the importance of Johanna Van Gogh as wife and sister-in-law. thank you for a good listen!

Title: The Boys Who Challenged Hitler Subtitle: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club Author: Phillip Hoose Narrator: Phillip Hoose, Michael Braun Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 108 votes Genres: Teens, Bios & Memoirs Publisher's Summary: At the outset of World War II, Denmark did not resist German occupation. Deeply ashamed of his nation's leaders, 15-year-old Knud Pedersen resolved with his brother and a handful of schoolmates to take action against the Nazis if the adults would not. Naming their secret club after the fiery British leader, the young patriots in the Churchill Club committed countless acts of sabotage, infuriating the Germans, who eventually had the boys tracked down and arrested. But their efforts were not in vain: The boys' exploits and eventual imprisonment helped spark a full-blown Danish resistance. Interweaving his own narrative with the recollections of Knud himself, here is Phil Hoose's inspiring story of these young war heroes. Members Reviews: What courage and determination... Phillip Hoose is masterful as he unfolds the story of Knud Pederson and the Churchhill Club, The boys were brilliant and brave, never passing up an opportunity to sabotage the Germans, when situations presented itself. Outstanding job with the audiobook, I couldn't stop listening, fabulous all the way around! Compelling Story I admit I had not heard this story until reading this book. The story is absorbing, moving and compelling. I could not help but wonder how I would have reacted in the same situation, like the boys who rebelled or like most of the adults who acquiesced. I also wonder how much of the boys actions are due to bravery and how much to the rebelliousness and fearlessness of youth. Two quibbles. First, the author mentions but does not elaborate on the successful evacuation of the Jews by Danes before they were deported by the Nazis. The Danes certainly deserve credit for that rap in comparison to action (or inaction) by other countries and esp since they are criticized for capitulating to the Nazis. Second, the book narrator was very good but I felt the actor voicing Knud Pederson was over the top sometimes and I found it a bit distracting. Overall an excellent book esp for those unfamiliar with heroics of the Churchill Club. Best Book Ever!!! If you could sum up The Boys Who Challenged Hitler in three words, what would they be? Brave, Courageous, and Willing To Fight What was one of the most memorable moments of The Boys Who Challenged Hitler? When the Churchill Club would run out and mess up the signs was my favorite moment. Which scene was your favorite? My favorite scene was when they found the Rifle and stole it. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No but this book did make me different. All the stuff in this book is what I have never known and now I know all about when, where, and how the war started. Any additional comments? This Book Was The Best Book I Have Ever Read Awesome read! I liked how this book covers a part of the war that many people have never studied. Hoose kept me intriguiged the whole way through. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Breaking-Through-Audiobook/B0036G94AM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Interesting and engaging story especially for YA to learn how different groups of people have and continue to live in the US. The narrator is great and brings the great characters to life. Amazing story. Worth reading Finished the book in one day. Could not put it down. It is a very easy read but the story is so amazing and inspirational I have no words to express. I simply loved it. great book. loved it. I shared it with class of sixth graders who loved it too! Teachable Moment Would you consider the audio edition of Breaking Through to be better than the print version? . What did you like best about this story? . Which character as performed by Adrian Vargas was your favorite? . Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? . Any additional comments? This is a wonderful story about the strong family values and work ethic of Mexican migrants. It brought back memories of grade school friends sorely missed when they had to move on with their family to the next field job. I still wonder about them and wish I could find them. This book is set in the 1960s and the struggles and racism this family experienced, while appalling, seem almost quaint compared to the experience of migrants today. There were moments in the book when I was on the edge of my seat because I expected a very different outcome. In todays world, if la migra had picked up Francisco they could have shipped him to Nogales without any notice to his parents and dumped him on the border, day or night. There would be no legal option for this family to return to the U.S. Their only option to return would be to risk their lives by illegally crossing the desert on foot. Hundreds die every year on that journey. Given that status, when Franciscos father accidently sawed off his finger or when his infant sibling needed care, this family would have been extremely reluctant to seek medical help. Francisco might graduate from college with honors but he would never be allowed to actually teach in the U.S. I was touched by the many teachers, employers, and counselors who reached out to this family and am saddened that our society has become so mean spirited that we cant make room for those who would make such good citizens and good neighbors. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Samurai-Rising-Audiobook/B01KI7XR1I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Timely, thorough, and insightful account on the life and death of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is the best book ever written for young adults on the Civil Rights movement and on the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Congressman John Lewis, the embodiment of the struggle for equal rights for African Americans, sets the stage in the introduction to the book, as he recounts the events in which he had been an active participant. His recollections of the triumphs and the tragedies of the 1960s are then unfolded by the stirring prose of James Swanson. The first third of the book is a brilliant, but succinct account of the complex racial issues that confronted the Nation. Then, as in the usual unique fashion of all Swansonâs young adult books, the author weaves the lives of the racist, career criminal, James Earl Ray, with the powerful, compelling, and tragic story of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the non-violent advocate of the rights of African-Americans. While Swansonâs focus in the last third of the book is on the hunt and capture of James Earl Ray, he also concludes by confirming the rightful place of Martin Luther King in the history of the contribution of great Americans to our country. If the reader had no time to read this book, the numerous photographs alone tell the story - - from an innocent protester being attacked by a police dog or a burnt-out bus of the Freedom Fighters, to Kingâs briefcase after the assassination or the sad task of a worker cleaning Kingâs blood from the hotel balcony. And the maps and diagrams are informative, adding to the prominence of this work. As in all the Swanson books, he provides a wealth of information in his source materials, as a jumping off point for further reading on the scores of topics covered. In sum, this book should be assigned reading for any American history class. And, it is a âmust readâ for adults too! Another home run from Swanson! Swanson NEVER disappoints! I learned so much from this book. As always, it a completely approachable text causing middle schoolers to forget they are reading non-fiction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Within-Reach-Audiobook/B002V5H5C8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent What made the experience of listening to Within Reach the most enjoyable? Great book, well told story. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? I liked the fact that it is a true story. Great Book I purchased this book thinking it would just be a "filler" book until I had time to really look at some reviews. When the beginning began "audible kids" I thought, "Great, what did I buy here?", but I have to say this is one of the best books I've ever listened to or read. So well written and the reader was great. An extremely inspiring book. I highly recommend it. Amazing The book was really descriptive and a book I will always remember.Hopefully other young readers like me will discover this book and share it with others!! Average at best This book definitely had it's high points as well as other points that drag along for much too long. What I found most interesting about this book is the maturity level of the author at such a young age. Some of the things he did are just amazing for any human being, much less a 16 year old boy. I would not recommend this book if it is your first mountaineering or high altitude climbing book. If you have already read other books on this subject and are looking for more (like me) to feed your new addiction to climbing books, then download it now. Within Reach: My Story About Barely Climbing Everest This book is just complete boredom. I almost feel asleep while reading half a chapter. Look, I'm a teen and I had to read this for summer homework..but this is the worst book they could've picked. The story is ok, some parts were interesting or funny. Just the overall of this book is weak. It was interesting and amazing to see someone close to my age try to attempt to climb Everest, but in the end the kid doesn't even manage to get up there completely after 3 years of work. My Everest Story to me, is just a plain blank worthless book. I never found it my self in awe or shock or really deep in this book. I first read six chapters then said screw it I'm not reading this because it's so boring. I eventually had to finish for summer reading but it's just not good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Fully-Functioning-Human-Almost-Audiobook/B074N9PBQN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A must read for girls in their 20s! loved this book! melanie's voice is so soothing to listen to. in my opinion this is a great read for girls in their 20s as Melanie is refreshingly open and honest about all of her millennial struggles ranging from acne, depression, social media, dating, sexuality, and more. i found her stories super relatable and her spot on analogies made me laugh out loud. i felt like i was listening to a best friend. her positive take on everything her life experiences have taught her so far is super inspiring and will leave you feeling optimistic about the bumps along the way. Loved it I usually don't ever read YouTubers' books, but i knew from watching Melanie's YouTube channel for over 2-3 years that she had some very interesting life experiences, is very well spoken and funny and has something meaningful to say. For all her young years she has had many life lessons and is a wise young lady. I was listening to the book every night before bed on my short vacation and thoroughly enjoyed it, it was almost like listening to a close friend of mine. On the one hand it's a very light and entertaining read/listen and on the other hand there were many topics that'd provoked contemplation on my part regarding my own life. All in all I recommend her book. Way to go Mel! I now love Melanie even more Warm, entertaining and heart wrenching at the same time. I've learnt things I never thought I would about Melanie. I've cried, laughed and had my mind fed throughout this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Reaching-Out-Audiobook/B0036G94AW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Reaching Out Author: Francisco Jiménez Narrator: Adrian Vargas Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Teens, Bios & Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the perspective of the young adult he was then, Francisco Jiménez describes the challenges he faced in his efforts to continue his education. During his college years, the very family solidarity that allowed Francisco to survive as a child is tested. Not only must he leave his family behind when he goes to Santa Clara University, but while Francisco is there, his father abandons the family and returns to Mexico. This is the story of how Francisco coped with poverty, with his guilt over leaving his family financially strapped, with his self-doubt about succeeding academically, and with separation. Once again his telling is honest, true, and inspiring. Members Reviews: Excellent for English learners Audio is clear, with believable emotion in the narrator's voice. Pronunciations of Spanish words and names sound authentic, which helps the reader feel like Jimenez could be the one speaking. Although anyone could relate to the themes of perseverance and success through hard work, immigrants dreaming of college will find it particularly relevant. Enjoyable! Inspirational The autobiography of Francisco Jimenez has inspired me for a decade. I love to read and listen to his life because I can identify periods of my life with his life. This book can inspire and encourage mexican immigrant students. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Guts-Audiobook/B009S8G5J0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Book for boys Gary paulsen books are a must read for boys makes you want to be in the wilderness doing adventurous things My favorite parts My favorite parts were hearing about the plane crashes and the eating of gross food. Good Listen! Any additional comments? Guts is Gary Paulsens memoir of true experiences that inspired his Hatchet Adventure series. I listened to the audiobook after reading the entire series. It was very interesting to learn that most of the material for the series came from Paulsens own childhood experiences. It was definitely geared for those interested in either the Hatchet series or survival skills. I enjoyed most of it, although I have to admit that the actual title chapter, Guts, was a little more than I could take. It truly was about guts lots of guts described in great detail. The other chapters were interesting and valuable. It was a great break from technology and presented a world that todays young adults rarely experience. Definitely a good survival read! I've always wondered if hatchet had any backstory. Much detail about the author and how his life created the idea for Hatchet. Fantastic! Paulsen inspired me to do the same As an outdoors adventure author many of the situations in my books reflect things in real life much like in Paulsen's. This book is a DVD extras type of story. I really enjoyed learning about his adventures and how they formed Brian's. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Getting-Away-With-Murder-Audiobook/B002V1A0VU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Being Jazz Subtitle: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen Author: Jazz Jennings Narrator: Jazz Jennings Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-16 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 197 votes Genres: Teens, Bios & Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Teen activist and trailblazer Jazz Jennings - named one of The 25 Most Influential Teens of the year by Time - shares her very public transgender journey, as she inspires people to accept the differences in others while they embrace their own truths. Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest and most prominent voices in the national discussion about gender identity. At the age of five, Jazz transitioned to life as a girl, with the support of her parents. A year later her parents allowed her to share her incredible journey in her first Barbara Walters interview, aired at a time when the public was much less knowledgeable about or accepting of the transgender community. This groundbreaking interview was followed over the years by other high-profile interviews, a documentary, the launch of her YouTube channel, a picture book, and her own reality TV series, I Am Jazz, making her one of the most recognizable activists for transgender teens, children, and adults. In her remarkable memoir, Jazz reflects on these very public experiences and how they have helped shape the mainstream attitude toward the transgender community. But it hasn't all been easy. Jazz has faced many challenges, bullying, discrimination, and rejection, yet she perseveres as she educates others about her life as a transgender teen. Through it all her family has been beside her on this journey, standing together against those who don't understand the true meaning of tolerance and unconditional love. Now Jazz must learn to navigate the physical, social, and emotional upheavals of adolescence - particularly high school - complicated by the unique challenges of being a transgender teen. Making the journey from girl to woman is never easy - especially when you began your life in a boy's body.

(Laverne Cox, acclaimed actress and transgender advocate) Members Reviews: Eloquent and Well Thought Out Young Ms. Jennings has created a body of work, including her life, of which to be extremely proud. Precocious almost to a fault, she has forged and followed a bigger life than most people four times her current age (which is fifteen.) This book is well written and edited, both traditionally speaking as well as with sound engineering. Informative, spirited and vivid enough to draw out memories of my own from parallel ages in my (non-transgender) life, listening to this book was similar to hanging out with one of my own extremely candid nieces. I definitely recommend listening to this book. One note, Jazz does speak a little bit quickly, but you can always change the speed on the meter while listening, so it's not truly a problem. Other great reads along the same lines are "Raising my Rainbow" and "Raising Ryland."

Members Reviews: Good book for teens to see how they can be used by God. Jeff Kinley is a great writer and a godly man. I really enjoy what he has to say to young people. I am a youth pastor and have taken my kids to events where Jeff has spoken and they really got a lot out of it. This book is helpful for teens who think that they can't do anything for God because they are too ... (fill in the blank). Read it and grow. This is well worth the time to read and enjoy. Life has a way of humbling us and too often people just give up and accept the label of 'Loser'. This book very capably shows how 12 people of the Bible called on God and their lives were remarkably turned around and they were made champions. A major joy to read the descriptions so artfully written in the language of contemporty young people. Review Glad to get the book. It is a great help to me in preparing Sunday School lessons on the Losers Club! Five Stars CHALLENGES YOU TO THINK!!

(Kristi Yamaguchi) Members Reviews: 7 Habits Audible is NOT the real book I agree with the last reviewer. This is NOT the book, it is just an interview with Sean Covey ABOUT the book. After finding that out, I went back to the description of the book and found on the very last line something about it being an interview. I think this is highly deceiving. I wanted the book! Not the Real thing I was very disappointed in this offering. My dyslexic son had to read this book and usually the books on Audible mean that he can listen to rather than struggling to read it -- but this is not the book -- just a talk --- so be warned , it is not the real thing. No help to us!!! deceiving This is not the actual book. It is horrible. Terrible What disappointed you about The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens? Not what you're looking for. rip off, now I have to spend more to get the real book. Very angry. Has The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens turned you off from other books in this genre? No the real book is great. This is some corny overview. Irritating I am highly irritated about this deceiving audio book - I too purchased it based on the thought that it was the actual book! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Discovering-Wes-Moore-The-Young-Adult-Adaptation-Audiobook/B00CX9EFE8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I truly appreciate Wes Moore, taking the time out to share his story. ..The life Wes has lead....Soooooo many others are leading as we speak. To have his life written out will give many young ones the chance to Think,see themselves as they are. .and possibly CHANGE....I've honestly witnessed many Wes Moores and also Wes Moore around my neighborhood growing up and in my own family.Its extremely hard to witness self destructive behavior,when all you want is the best for a person. ..With being a divorced single mother of 7children, 5 being boys ...I can say I truly have had to create a strong spiritual foundation for my children due to the absence of there physical father's and allowing there HEAVENLY FATHER'S presence to be strong and powerful enough to be there guide. ..so far so good my ...14yr old son had to read this book for an 8th grade summer reading program...I must say as a family we were all so drawn into the audible version that all 8 of us now know Wes Moores story. ....This book truly makes me appreciative .THANK YOU JEHOVAH GOD FOR YOUR LOVING SUPPORT with my family. ..!!!!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Positive-A-Memoir-Audiobook/B00K2A8ZN2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: We Should Hang Out Sometime Subtitle: Embarrassingly, a True Story Author: Josh Sundquist Narrator: Josh Sundquist Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 12-23-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 196 votes Genres: Teens, Bios & Memoirs Publisher's Summary: When I was 25 years old, it came to my attention that I had never had a girlfriend. At the time, I was actually under the impression that I was in a relationship, so this bit of news came as something of a shock. Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked down each of the girls he had tried to date since middle school and asked them straight up: What went wrong? The results of Josh's semiscientific investigation are in your hands. From a disastrous Putt-Putt date involving a backward prosthetic foot, to his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing), and a misguided "grand gesture" at a Miss America pageant, this story is about looking for love - or at least a girlfriend - in all the wrong places. Poignant, relatable, and wholly hilarious, this memoir is for anyone who has ever wondered, "Is there something wrong with me?" (Spoiler Alert: the answer is no.) PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Critic Reviews: "An autobiographical account that's equal parts hilarious and cringe-inducing...While his recent interviews and meetings with the girls from his past are often just as uncomfortable as their dates were, they also lead to answers as genuine as his narrative." (Publishers Weekly) "Sundquist is a storyteller - flawed, wry, laid-back and sympathetic. Anyone who's felt awkward will alternately (or simultaneously) wince and burst out laughing at his earnest misadventures with stalkers, 'Close Fast Dancing' and flow charts... but above all, they'll be rooting for Sundquist to hang out with a girl. Funny, sympathetic and poignant, Sundquist's memoir has a high probability of success."

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: High Fidelity Meets Zero Charisma What would have made We Should Hang Out Sometime better? A different narrator may have given this a shine. I was shocked to learn halfway through that this guy is a motivational speaker. He was so flat and had no personality. He mentions several times that other people tell him he's funny and I was like ... really? Do they? What could Josh Sundquist have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Have a personality. Have more than one speaking tone. Maybe don't speak about the "friendzone" with absolutely no sense of irony or self awareness. Would you be willing to try another one of Josh Sundquists performances? Nope. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from We Should Hang Out Sometime? Maybe everything up until chapter 31. In some ways this was just bizarre. I almost felt like I was listening to an alien describe what it would be like to learn the ways of humans. Any additional comments? How are you going to write a book with literally the exact plot of High Fidelity (published 1995, adapted into a feature film in 2000) and never once mention High Fidelity? To Josh I found myself increasingly connected to your story the longer I listened, and there's two main reasons why. 1) Because I've passed over guys before who liked me and never made a move, because they never said anything. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Hidden-Girl-Audiobook/B00KY6Y0OC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When she was eight, her parents sold her into slavery. Shyima then moved two hours away to Egypt's capitol city of Cairo to live with a wealthy family and serve them eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. When she was ten, her captors moved to Orange County, California, and smuggled Shyima with them.

Members Reviews: Important story but not a great book I think this is an important book because the issue of slavery is so much more extensive than we realize. The story is compelling but the book was written in a very simplistic manner which made it less powerful to me. Modern Slavery - who knew? What made the experience of listening to Hidden Girl the most enjoyable? True story of a young girl sold into slavery, with all it's hidden, dark and dirty aspects. A not too much talked about subject matter, yet, a true story. I was beguiled by the story and wanted to know what was going to happen next. Cannot and actually refuse to understand parent that sell their children - and in this case - WHY THIS particular one? Who was your favorite character and why? Shyima is my favorite character, only she can tell it the way she felt it. What about Robin Ellers performance did you like? Great narration, warm voice and clearly spoken. Any additional comments? I would recommend the book, even for young adults. Her situation was terrible Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? It was good that I listened because I think it opened my eyes to problems that I knew about but did not fully comprehend. I think the tale was only "OK" as far as the way it was written. It was very matter of fact and much more of a documentary type book than a story which is what I generally listen to. Towards the end she kind of lost my attention. I know this needs to be said and I am really glad that her situation ended as it did. Would you be willing to try another book from Shyima Hall and Lisa Wysocky ? Why or why not? Probably not another one, I have heard her story and the writing was not something that grabbed me. Definitely worth the listen just not something I would listen to again. Was Hidden Girl worth the listening time? Definitely. I think everyone needs to be aware of what is going on. The book was longer than the story. They could have shortened the book by at least 3 chapters. The beginning and middle were interesting but too much was written about her life after her rescue which was more if a normal happy life and not so unusual. I was reading the book to learn more about human trafficking and found the end too slow to listen too so I fast forwarded through the end. It was good to learn that not all trafficking is for sex. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Terrible-Typhoid-Mary-Audiobook/B012YGCE2O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A quick read Terrible Typhoid Mary is a great book that gives a concise overview of what is known about Mary Mallon's life. The book provides enough background information about medicine and society in Mary's time to really set the stage for the story. I enjoyed this book and will recommend it to others. Five Stars interesting He read and said it is a good and interesting book Purchased for grandson's required summer reading. He read and said it is a good and interesting book. Well written and shows Mary as a person I found this to be a well written book and one of the few that humanized Mary. She was a proud, stubborn woman who didn't understand the implications of her condition and was ostracized because of it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Maos-Last-Dancer-Audiobook/B00APLURL6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

His mother urged him to take this chance of a lifetime. But Li was only eleven years old and he was scared and lonely, pushed away from all that he had ever known and loved.

(AudioFile Magazine) Members Reviews: Excellent book! I enjoyed how the story gives insight into China during Mao from the point of view of a young peasant boy thrown into the role of a dancer. The story line was captivating from a historical point of view as well as inspirational and entertaining. I would most definitely recommend this book! Happiness rising from the injustise Where does Mao's Last Dancer rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Tie first. It was first last week but then I completed "The Condition". What was one of the most memorable moments of Mao's Last Dancer? The story about the man who "died" because he choked on an egg and then came to life after a robber punched him in the stomach. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, it was interesting, heartwarming, exciting, both sad and happy. Any additional comments? I would like to listen to it in one sitting again and again, okay and maybe a couple more agains. Other memorable moments: Him breaking his pencil trying to write for the first time. When he breaks his mother's new plates trying to make her a surprise meal. When his parent's get applauded at the first performances of his they get to watch in America. And that curtain rise was kept on hold until they arrived. True inspiration What an amazing inspirational story, we need more people as Mr. Li to help us understand the strengths the people of China have. Thank You Mr. Li !!! Inspiring An informative, entertaining, evocative and inspiring story. I listened to this over several days and was captivated. Peasant China and Mao's 'Cultural Revolution' were especially informative areas and were dealt with in detail but I felt the ending a little rushed and sparse. Perhaps this was because 75% of the story is captivating due to the colourful and at times bizarre 'foreign' and 'exotic' setting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Beyond-Magenta-Audiobook/B00I12T4TW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: More books like these, please! I bought a copy for myself, but after reading it I feel energized enough to buy a hardcover and start the first LGBTQ library at the high school where I work. Books that stay true to the experiences of young people must be made readily available to all youth and the adults that love them! Mesmerizing This was beautiful. I thank these people for telling their stories. Letting me know that I'm not alone. informative book, unfortunate narration it was an informative book. It gives a look at the transgender experience without dramatizing it. I disliked the choice of voice actors and that detracted from the believability of the narrative for me. I especially disliked the voice used for the narrator. I would have preferred to have read the book instead of listening because of this. Beautiful book Loved all the stories. It really hits home for me. I almost burst into tears a couple of time... Open & Frank Teens Share Their Stories. I am grateful to the teens who shared their stories in this book. They bared themselves in such a beautiful way. They allowed themselves to be vulnerable and real which allowed me to feel and think. Unfortunately the narration isn't write. The male voice is too mature. He doesn't sound like a teen. It removed me from the story and sometimes confused me. I did hope for more depth -- more analysis of what they feel and think, and what they need from those around them. I was hoping for an outline of what transgender teens need from their mothers, aunts, grandmothers. My expectations were probably too high, but if your expectations are similar you may feel the same. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/All-I-Know-Now-Audiobook/B011JEH6WU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book, while aimed at a younger demographic, rings with sincerity and honest advice. It was a pleasure to read and listen to. Amazing! In the i want to buy this book for my future daughter! Both the content and the narrator were incredible! great book I absolutely loved it it was fun to read made me laugh make me cry it was one of the best books that I've read in a really long time it is kind of like a self help book for teens which is interesting I would definitely recommend it Your Spunky Big Sister I followed the writing of this book in Carrie's videos from start to finish, and I've been greatly anticipating it. I'm very glad that I chose to purchase the audiobook, because Carrie's voice and personality absolutely shines through and speaks to the heart and the soul. The advice in this book can apply to the young teens just getting started and the young adults just starting their own lives. Carrie's optimistic, gentle, kind outlook on life is inspiring, and brought me to tears to see such a beautiful soul in the world. This book comes highly recommended, and just let yourself listen and understand Carrie and understand your own life. Great Book if you are a teenager I'm in my early 20s so this was boring for me, however it would be a great gift for a teenage girl. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Honor-Girl-Audiobook/B07231TSTT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beautiful, engrossing coming of age storyâ. I was really intrigued by the premise of this graphic memoir, and ordered it on the day it came out. It definitely didn't disappoint. Honor Girl, by Maggie Thrash, is the true story of a summer she spent at camp when she was fifteen. During this particular summer, she meets a female counselor and begins to have feelings for her. This is the first time she's had any feelings for a girl, and since Maggie's a camper, they have to be careful in their interactions. The result is a beautiful coming of age story about first love, the way you see the world at fifteen, summertime, friendship, and self discovery. I found the story very realistic and moving, and you could definitely tell it was a memoir. The way the girls acted, spoke and felt was very relatable and very real to those feelings you have as a teenager. There were a lot of fun moments too, several of which had me laughing out loud. It was a perfect balance with the angst and serious undertone. Once I started reading, this was pretty much all I could think about until I finished. It's one of those very immersive stories, where you really feel like you are outdoors at summer camp with the other girls. This is a book I would definitely love to reread every summer. The artwork was also beautiful. I love the cover of the book, and true to it, the colors inside don't disappoint. They look like watercolors, and there were several pages I flipped back to look at when I was done reading, particularly the full page illustrations and nighttime scenes. The people were a little sketchy styled for my taste, just because it was harder to read emotion in their facial expressions, but it didn't detract from the story at all. Overall, I definitely give this a 5/5 stars. It's a perfect summer read, and perfect for fans of contemperary graphic novels. Think along the lines of This One Summer. If you've ever questioned who you were, or struggled to figure out who you want to be, you will love this story. adored it I love graphic novels, especially memoirs, so this was almost guaranteed to be enjoyable. Maggie Thrash is new to me but I will be eagerly awaiting anything more from her in the future! Her artwork is brilliant and the storytelling was fantastic, actually making a serene all girl camp seem exciting. The 2000 era was post-collegiate for me and I've gotta say, the pop culture references here had me cracking up and thanking my lucky stars I went through my awkward teenage years during the early 1990s instead. This book in hardcover is very large and thick and lovely. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Life-in-Prison-Audiobook/B00BPAWZKC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not Forgotten This needs to be share with you boys and girls who are currently or headed towards a life of crime and imprisonment and their families. My brother is serving life and the pain at time is overwhelming for us all. Thank you for sharing you story. Simply Excellent! Honest account. Vulnerable and Shocking. Thank you, Tookie. Happy he turned his life around and taught the youth that prison is not to be glamorized. A Clear Picture I loved it. It helps me with my research on writing about black people issues, along with Tookie Williams insight on what he was reduced to from the gang life. At least Tookie transformed his life for the better and made a positive contribution in the end. Excellent An important book for all to read. Provides a window into the life of an inmate and the constraints of his life. It motivates those of us who are free to appreciate and constantly search for meaning with the freedom we have. It also challenges us to realize that even within constraint meaning can be found (in the writer's case through writing and activism).

Take it before your filthy, abnormal, fraudulent self is bared to the nation." Dr. Martin Luther King received this demand in an anonymous letter in 1964. He believed that the letter was telling him to commit suicide. Who wrote this anonymous letter? Most likely William Sullivan, an assistant director of the FBI. Who was Sullivan trying to impress in his campaign against King? J. Edgar Hoover. In this unsparing exploration of one of the most powerful Americans of the 20th century, accomplished historian Marc Aronson unmasks the man behind the Bureau: his tangled family history and personal relationships; his own need for secrecy, deceit, and control; and the broad trends in American society that shaped his world. Hoover may have given America the security it wanted, but the secrets he knew gave himand the Bureauall the power he wanted. Master of Deceit challenges listeners to explore Hoover and his secrets. Was Hoover a protector of America or a betrayer of its principles? What is the price of security? Here is a book about the 20th century that blazes with questions and insights about our choices in the 21st. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Marc Aronson) Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:03:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Master-of-Deceit-Audiobook/B007REPW3C thebookvoice.com 04:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Could have been more comprehensive Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? This book was a lot shorter than I originally thought it would be, and wasn't very comprehensive. I tend to prefer historical works that provide a lot more details, and "inside information" that this book didn't provide. What do you think your next listen will be? I have a full wishlist, and have already listened to several books since this one. What about Luke Danielss performance did you like? He did a great job and has a good reading voice. Do you think Master of Deceit needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? I think Master of Deceit needs to be expanded, with a lot more inside information added. Any additional comments? At one point in the book, the author took personal liberties that seem to be unsupported by evidence yet the author claims things as fact that simply cannot be proven nor disproven according to other authors on the same topic. It seems that a few of the items in the book were the author's opinion, yet he claims them as fact which I dislike. Better Than Reviews Led Me To Believe Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? It was written with elegance, from the heart. I trusted that the author was seeking truth no matter where it led him. Who was your favorite character and why? I'd have to call it a tie between the author and J. Edgar Hoover. Which scene was your favorite? The epilogue. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The acknowledgements. No, I'm serious. Any additional comments? I picked this up because I wanted to get insight into Hoover for my own research into the JFK Assassination. In fact, there is very little here about JFK and what there is I believe is vague and pretty much off the mark. Normally, this would be the kiss of death and immediately make the book suspect in my eyes but not this time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Road-from-Home-Audiobook/B002UZMJW0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

She moaned when I insisted that she read a biography this summer. Lucky for her, The Pigman and Me was with the biographies in the "young adult" section of our library. It was not what I'd had in mind, but she absolutely loved it. Pigman I purchased this book for a class room assignment and my son enjoyed it beyond reading it for a grade.

( Booklist) "An eye-opening account" ( Horn Book Magazine) Members Reviews: Eye Opening Must Read for Teens I learned about this text from a colleague who read about it. We created an entire unit with No Choirboy as our anchor text amid articles, podcasts, documentaries, etc., and it was the perfect way to end the year! My 10th graders were so engaged, especially my intensive group. They made so many connections to previous texts we've read and were astonished to learn about our penitentiary & judicial systems. I had students who said they had not read an entire book in years actually read this one cover-to-cover. The structure of the text (lack of interview questions, use of text features like italics for Kuklin's commentary, etc.) was slightly more complex than I anticipated, and provided interesting discussion because it encouraged my students to conduct more thorough close readings. I couldn't help but chuckle every time some one of my lower-level babies made comments about grammar or corrected the text when they read aloud. The content and style affords No Choirboy a place on my "must read" list, especially because students WANTED to learn, read, write & discuss after enduring a brutal testing season. I ended the school year feeling proud of how equipped & prepared my students are to intelligently & respectfully participate in such a crucial dialogue. A great look into the real lives of people that have ... I will be using this second semester for my 9th grade English class. It is captivating and very engaging. A great look into the real lives of people that have gotten in too deep and are paying with their life. Five Stars Good book with some information that is new to me. Sad, yet interesting. Eye-Opening and Raw This is a book that brings you face to face with the reality of the legal system, the oppression of poverty, and the realities of lives gone wrong. It puts humanity into inhuman acts and force the reader to see what society does to not only the victims but the offenders. Written with the voice of the condemned the book allows readers to see where bad choices lead you and how justice may not be as justified as it looks. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Anas-Story-Audiobook/B002V1A808 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Para los que leen este libro, resulta perturbadora la facilidad con la que se puede entrar en él y la soledad que encuentra aquel joven que, en su desesperada búsqueda de aceptación, cae una y otra vez en ese seductor abismo. Publicado por primera vez en 1971, este diario relata parte de la vida de alicia, una joven como cualquiera que, a sus 15 años, se ha iniciado en el consumo de drogas en una fiesta. Este diario será para ella un refugio cuando todo parezca perdido, pues en no más de dos años veremos como se levanta y vuelve a cear en la drogadicción, presa de las presiones de otros chicos y de la incapacidad de comunicarse con su familia.

Title: Leaving Glorytown Subtitle: One Boy's Struggle Under Castro Author: Eduardo Calcines Narrator: Eduardo Calcines Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-10 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Bios & Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Eduardo F. Calcines was a child of Fidel Castros Cuba; he was just three years old when Castro came to power in January 1959. After that, everything changed for his family and his country. When he was 10, his family applied for an exit visa to emigrate to America and he was ridiculed by his schoolmates and even his teachers for being a traitor to his country. But even worse, his father was sent to an agricultural reform camp to do hard labor as punishment for daring to want to leave Cuba. During the years to come, as he grew up in Glorytown, a neighborhood in the city of Cienfuegos, Eduardo hoped with all his might that their exit visa would be granted before he turned 15, the age at which he would be drafted into the army. In this absorbing memoir, by turns humorous and heartbreaking, Eduardo Calcines recounts his boyhood and chronicles the conditions that led him to wish above all else to leave behind his beloved extended family and his home for a chance at a better future. Critic Reviews: Calcines vibrant writing gives readers an intimate, front-porch view of his family . . . . will captivate readers and open a door to a subject seldom written about for teens.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: eye opening detail about communist cuba eye opening detail about communist cuba, Riveting and sad story of the suffering the cuban people endure under Fidel. It amazed me to learn that even children were subject to bullying by the cuban government. it also amazed me to see that faith in god and the dream of freedom always prevails over tyranny. I enjoyed listening to the author voice while not a seasoned narrator you could hear the sincerity in his voice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Open-Mic-Audiobook/B00EAGELRS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Its a slippery subject, rife with as many perspectives as there are people in the world. But laughter gets us talking. It has the power to break down barriers and draw us closer together. In Open Mic, acclaimed author and speaker Mitali Perkins invites us to listen in as 10 authors for young adults - some familiar, some new - step up to the mic and share their stories about what its like growing up between cultures. In a mix of styles, the offerings in this anthology are as diverse as their authors: from the laugh-out-loud hilarious, like David Yoos story about a Korean-American boy pretending to fit every Asian stereotype in order to make friends; to the editorial, like Gene Luen Yangs comic that explains why he wont be watching the Last Airbender movie; to the ironic, like the poem from G. Neri about confronting stereotypes abroad; to the reverent, like Naomi Shihab Nyes ode to her fathers use of language. But no matter what, this volume will certainly get us talking.

Members Reviews: Open Mic: Riffs on Life Between Cultures in Ten Voices by Mitali Perkins This is a Goodreads December book club title and each of the ten stories by YA authors who have lived between cultures (Mitali Perkins, Varian Johnson, G. Neri and Francisco X. Stork, to name a few) and have penned mainly stories with humor to give readers their multicultural view of the world. As I read the verse story, Under Berlin by G. Neri, I was constantly surprised by her father as they stood in a crowded train filled with white Germans and their black father and Hispanic mother. It was a game her played with his children and I chuckled with how G. Neri unfolded each word to show her father's calm, his conversation, his friendliness, and how to snag seats for his family. In Francisco X. Stork's, Brotherly Love, it is his older sister he goes to for information to a nagging question. Mitali Perkins short story, Three-Pointer, was a great story about sisters, love and the points it can garner. I am looking forward to re-reading all of these stories; they are real, poignant, and funny Captures the Reality of People Trapped Between Cultures I am making a pledge this year to read more diverse books, so I started it off right by getting a hold of the audiobook of this gem of a collection. Open Mic: Riffs on Life Between Cultures in Ten Voices edited by Mitali Perkins has the perfect mix of humor, a little heartache, and a whole lot of strength, capturing the reality of experiences of people trapped between cultures. There is a mix of fiction and nonfiction; a mix of prose, verse, and graphic within the pages. But while each entry may be different, the underlaying purpose rings true. As Perkins writes in her introduction, the purpose is to "...to break down barriers and draw us together across borders.â And this collection succeeds. From the romantic, in Cherry Cheva's "Talent Show" to the empowering, in Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich's "Confessions of a Black Geek; from half-way across the world, in G. Neri's "Under Berlin", to one's own house, in Francisco X. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Sterling-Point-Books-Audiobook/B002V0JZNU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Average Fair - Written for the Beginner Reader (6th-8th grade level) While this book is fairly highly rated by other reviewers, I only found it average. It is written at a level of 5th to 8th grade (my estimate). The print is large and easy to read. The entire book can be read in one sitting. It's an interesting story, but it lacks the detail that a more involved novel would have. It's a great story for the beginner reader, but far to easy for someone looking for more substance. kone Great book for boys! This is a great book for junior high and high school boys. The print is spaced out well and not too tiny; the story flows well and is interesting. Note, though, that there are a good handful of swear words. There is no indecency or sex--which is typical to these kinds of books--and I think it's great for a school library. (We white out swear words.) I would make sure that the maturity and age of the reader was high enough that they could handle the realistic war details and deaths in the book without getting bad dreams. I did not see anything that I rated as "dramatic" or "graphic" detailing. This is a very interesting book, and it's Accelerated Reader on top of it all! great WWII true story for middle grades Both of my kids read this book for a biography assignment in fifth grade. My boy loves anything WWII, but my girl enjoyed the exciting story of being shot down behind enemy lines and making back to allied side as well.Behind Rebel Lines is another great middle grades biography they both liked too, set in Civil War.I read both books as well and liked them too. A War Story A first person look at the underground in Holland during WWII and how they helped downed allied airman who had been shot down. Theauthor is hidden from the Germans but they eventually caught him and tortured his protectors. He spent the rest of the war in a P.O.W. concentration camp. After the war he tracked down the people who had helped him and found them all alive and well. A great story. It Was Enjoyed By Dad My father flew as a B-17 radio operator in the same outfit noted in this book. From his recent discussion with me, he said he recognized many of the names and places mentioned and had first hand knowledge of some of the events. He (and I )also said he was lucky to be alive, flying some 30 missions over Europe during WWII. He seemed to really enjoy reading this book that I gave him on father's day.

Title: When Elephants Fight Subtitle: The Lives of Children in Conflict in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, And Uganda Author: Eric Walters, Adrian Bradbury Narrator: Korey Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 03-20-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Bios & Memoirs Publisher's Summary: "When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers." This ancient proverb of the Kikuyu people, a tribal group in Kenya, Africa, is as true today as when the words were first spoken, perhaps thousands of years ago. Its essence is simplicity - when the large fight, it is the small who suffer most. And when it comes to war, the smallest, the most vulnerable, are the children. When Elephants Fight presents the stories of five children - Annu, Jimmy, Nadja, Farooq and Toma - from five very different and distinct conflicts - Sri Lanka, Uganda, Sarajevo, Afghanistan, and the Sudan. Along with these very personal accounts, the book also offers brief analyses of the history and geopolitical issues that are the canvas on which these conflicts are cast. When Elephants Fight is about increasing awareness. For the future to be better than the past, better than the present, we must help equip our children with an awareness and understanding of the world around them and their ability to bring about change. Gandhi stated, "If you are going to change the world, start with the children". biacuaduc@gmail.com (Eric Walters) Wed, 20 Mar 2013 03:17:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/When-Elephants-Fight-Audiobook/B00BWTG51Q thebookvoice.com 03:23:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Recommended reading for young adults Excellent young adult reading Five Stars good Vicky Austin's Adventures in the 90's Although the first book in this series was published in 1960, this one was published over 30 years later. The historical references to the Falklands War and the collapse of the Soviet Union implied that while Vicky's family might still have a 60's mindset, she was having modern adventure. Not one of her triogies, but as usual she gets our attention and keeps it to a satisfying conclusion. As an adult I have enjoyed L'Engle's books for both young adults and for her books about her own life. "Troubling a Star" is the most recent I've read and hope it will bring more readers to all of her fiction and non-fiction. She makes us think, no matter at what age we become engaged with her variety of titles. Keep up the good Work! Above and beyond expectations.

Members Reviews: Slow This was an easy listen but moved slow. It was predictable. I did like it though and finished it quickly. Loved this book! What made the experience of listening to If I Fix You the most enjoyable? I thoroughly enjoyed If I fix You because of the character development that pulled me into the story from the beginning and it was well read and performed. Who was your favorite character and why? Jill was my favorite character. She struggled with love and betrayal, but always looked for ways to help everyone else. She was selfless and I found myself rooting for her to figure it all out. Which scene was your favorite? There were so many scenes that stick out in my mind, but a favorite of mine was the wall walking and middle of the night swimming in a stranger's pool. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I found myself hoping for more traffic during rush hour so I could listen to more of this book. Any additional comments? A terrific young-adult novel that I have now shared with many family in friends as gifts. Great first book for such a young author! I thought the story line was great. The characters were all, so wracked with pain and sorrow. I found myself wanting to cry with Jill and Daniel, but root hard for Shawn. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Trouble-in-Me-Audiobook/B013VC3P1E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( Booklist) Members Reviews: Riveting Story - Amazing Narration I can't find anything to criticize about this audio book and believe me - that is no small feat. The writing is superb and the story pulled me in right away - I could not stop myself from listening to the whole thing right away even though I wanted to savor it for a few days once I'd gotten a taste. The match of the narrator to the character is nothing short of perfection - she is truly one of the most talented narrators I have ever heard. I wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone looking for a reason to love audio books again after wasting credits on a few clunkers - it makes my membership and the search for more gems worthwhile. Surprisingly....great I completely enjoyed this selection. I felt empathetic towards the character and it even felt like a 13 year old was telling the story. Very well written. Very enjoyable. Hopefully unrealistic. I definitely recommend and hopefully I'll find another one as good soon. Great book, slightly disturbing I really enjoyed this book - it moves very quickly and I found myself looking for opportunities to keep putting my headphones back in to listen to more. The narrator is fantastic. Some of the content in the book was rather disturbing, perhaps more so for a parent than for a teenager reading the book. Can't Turn it Off The Chosen one is a well written story of life in a palygamist colony. You are in first person with the main character. It is very well written, the events keep you tuned in needing to know what is next. I don't think they could have picked a better reader for the audiobook, you feel like your listening to an accounting of a real event, not someone reading a book. Her voice and acting is spot on. I highly recommend it! Favorite Narrator! Would you listen to The Chosen One again? Why? I probably wouldn't listen again because I don't like to listen to books more than once, but that does not mean I don't think it was GREAT! I loved the story - so sad because it is based on true facts, but very well written. Jenna Lamia is my favorite narrator and she, once again, did an awesome job reading this one! What was one of the most memorable moments of The Chosen One? This is difficult to answer without giving something away! What does Jenna Lamia bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Jenna really makes you feel what the character is feeling. I think you get into her heart more hearing it read by Jenna than you would just by reading it. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes - I wanted to. I never have that much time all at once, but if I could have listened to it all in one sitting, I probably would have! Any additional comments? This is a great YA book for girls over 13 years old. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Such-a-Pretty-Girl-Audiobook/B002VA92RE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Worth listening to. The narrator was great. Great emotion in her voice. You would think that the author would have went into more when it came to the relationship the girl had with her mother and how unstable she must have been to forgive such a thing and even blaming it on her own child. The story lacks that disturbing feeling you'd get like with a similar story like Precious. But then again,this happens everyday all over the world. The stories aren't always as violent but I bet they don't feel different to the victim. Overall it is a good listen and by the end you feel proud of the girl for being so brave. Very rewarding ending. Hope that doesn't ruin it for you! The book was great! Over all it didn't meet my expectations. The story wasn't as good as the sample made it out to be. But I actually really ended up liking it! I really didn't see the ending coming and it was a great shocker! Although the narrators voice is a bit annoying. Not that insightful This is a good book if you are looking to listen to something in which your attention will wander or you put it down for some time and pick it back up. It is not "deep", informative or even that interesting. Hauntingly Realistic!!! This novelist did such a great job getting into this "pretty girl's" head that I found myself not believing it was fiction...amazing story with a great narrator. I was hooked from the first paragraph. I loved how the backstory was interwoven with current happenings. konikins Compelling and poignant.

Bad narration Well as a story I really liked the world of Willow and I found myself drawn into it , except for the fact that the narrator was soo annoying I couldn't listen to her for more than an hour until I decided to read the book instead .. but it is a story worth reading anyhow Willow Such a remarkable story ... Very well read ... I listened to it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything sad, but some how breath takingly courageous you definitely have to be in a positive mind set. no weakness about you before digging into this one. fairytale? oh no too real for that. but the most realistic listen in a long time! I enjoyed it -- However... First, let me say that this author sees nothing wrong with teen sex as long as the participants "love" each other and are careful. I for one, find that a very disturbing attitude for one who is writing books that may popular in that age group. She also swears -- not a lot, but a little of that type of language is too much for many of us. I will admit that I enjoyed the book but I probably would have avoided it had I known about the sex and language even though the sex was far from explicit and was portrayed somewhat conservatively, and the foul language was not used a lot. Guy entered Willow's life at a time when she needed someone desperately. He was sensitive, caring, and self-sacrificing and Willow recognized and appreciated his good qualities. But as far as portraying the miracles of redemption through love, this book is not in the same league as "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. That book may well be the best book I have ever read (listened to actually), period -- and some of Francine's other books are almost as good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Thing-with-Feathers-Audiobook/B074MGP244 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Thing with Feathers Author: McCall Hoyle Narrator: Nora Hunter Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: Blink Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Teens, Family & Relationships Publisher's Summary: Emilie Day believes in playing it safe: She's homeschooled, her best friend is her seizure dog, and she's probably the only girl on the Outer Banks of North Carolina who can't swim. Then Emilie's mom enrolls her in public school, and Emilie goes from studying at home in her pj's to halls full of strangers. To make matters worse, Emilie is paired with starting point guard Chatham York for a major research project on Emily Dickinson. She should be ecstatic when Chatham shows interest, but she has a problem. She hasn't told anyone about her epilepsy. Emilie lives in fear her recently adjusted meds will fail and she'll seize at school. Eventually, the worst happens, and she must decide whether to withdraw to safety or follow a dead poet's advice and "dwell in possibility". From Golden Heart award-winning author McCall Hoyle comes The Thing with Feathers, a story of overcoming fears, forging new friendships, and finding a first love, perfect for fans of Jennifer Niven, Robyn Schneider, and Sharon M. Draper. Members Reviews: Geared toward younger teens and tweens GRADE: C+ 3.5 STARS After years of homeschooling due to epilepsy and anxiety, Emilie enters junior year determined to fail so she can escape back to the safety of her home. She doesnât count on meeting a new friend, her first or attracting the eye of a cute jock Chatham. Emilie lies to her widowed mom sheâs disclosed the epilepsy and that her friends know how to react, but secretly sheâs afraid theyâll reject her. THE THING WITH FEATHERS begins each chapter with an Emily Dickinson quote, many of the scenes take place in English class and sheâs paired with Chatham for a project on Dickinson. McCall Hoyle wrote a fairly predictable story that felt more like a middle grade or young teen story than young adult, almost as if it was a very special episode of your favorite family drama where the new girl in school has epilepsy and everyone learns not to be afraid of her seizures. The characters were all a little too perfect, perfectly supportive and perfectly understanding. If I asked you, âTell me the plot of a predictable story on epilepsyâ based on the information Iâve written, youâd tell me the plot of A THING WITH FEATHERS. Despite the lack of originality, I truly enjoyed reading A THING WITH FEATHERS. Hoyleâs writing style and Emilieâs voice flowed seamlessly from chapter to chapter, despite the predictability. I wish Hoyle had done a better job researching service dogs, but readers probably wonât care. Epilepsy isnât a condition covered in many YA novels, so I hope readers will give A THING WITH FEATHERS a shot. Well written. Well-written story of a depressed teenager with epilepsy. Her therapist suggests she be sent to public school after years of home schooling to bring her out of her shell. Her struggles with learning to live in the "outside" world are painful but necessary. Good story, and I learned more about epilepsy than I knew before. All I love in YA and more This was such a lovely, sweet read, with gentle wit and characters that I could identify with. Emilie's health and emotional issues were sensitively handled, as was her journey to letting the past stop holding her back. So looking forward to the author's next release. Wonderful read ! I truly enjoyed reading this book . I laughed and cried with the characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/A-Solitary-Blue-Audiobook/B002V9Z5KS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why? Perhaps, but I don't usually reread or re-listen to books. What other book might you compare A Solitary Blue to and why? I love how the Tillerman family gets worked into this story as well. Which scene was your favorite? When he realized he's chosen some friends, good friends. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The hidden, real story about Jeff Green. Any additional comments? Insightful, powerful, yet steady in how a person grows and understands the world around him/her. Excellent Book Excellent story. The Tillerman Cycle is one of the best series for any age. My daughter, who is eleven, and I have loved listening and discussing each book. Highly recommend. A Solitary Blue This was the third book in this series. It was great and I'm sorry it's finished. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Twilight-Audiobook/B002V5CUDW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The story keep you interested right the way through. A wonderful series that takes you out of reality for the time reading. Most enjoyable. Amazing story line. This story is all action romance adventure and mysterious. It is so amazing. It is read really well too. I recommended this for everyone. My First Audiobook I really enjoyed this performance of one of my favourite books. Ilyana is the perfect voice for Bella and brings something different to each character. This was a very enjoyable first audiobook experience. OLD LADY ENJOYED IT AT 52,YOU TOO CAN ENJOY THRILL OF THE VAMPIRES,SO GOOD I THINK THE MOVIE MIGHT BE A LET DOWN Narrator ruins it. This is a good story but ruined by monotonous voice of narrator. My daughter listened to it all - but I switched off after 10 minutes. Her voice was too irritating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Nowhere-but-Here-Audiobook/B00ZVFG6NO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Sure, she's curious about her biological father, the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent, but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns into an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: Nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father, and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both. Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're family. And while Emily, the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member, is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down. No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Katie McGarry) Tue, 14 Jul 2015 19:24:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Nowhere-but-Here-Audiobook/B00ZVFG6NO thebookvoice.com 12:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This unique Young Adult MC Romance was an angst-filled, realistic coming of age tale. It considers the influence of family and promises -broken and kept- on young love. Well narrated to keep readers in the story. I can't say enough positive about this book... now off to the next book in the series! slow to start ...the end was good:) took forever to catch my interest. I'm in a book drought so I pushed through it. Emily is a hard character for me...so fearful and on the verge of faint all the time. her narrator kind of bothers me too...can't explain what it is exactly. another great story! ! loved this story. Great mix of romance, mystery and action. fun and easy listening while you're driving. main Guy is strong and confident enough to take the time to listen. intelligent enough to figure out what girl means. Girl is girly enough to be frightened but strong enough to overcome it when needed. A great love story with outside villians and without the corny overly emotional miscommunication as conflict. okay story... okay narrator the narrator takes some getting used to, and there are certain details about the story that I was unhappy with....but overall it was an okay story. Love with a joy ride A heartfelt adventure that I couldn't stop listening to. There are so many emotions with the twists and turns in the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Journey-Back-Audiobook/B002V0A5KM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great book very good read! I really enjoyed this sequel did great justice to the first book!! would recommend both books to everyone! Journey Back - Very informative It was great to have closure on this story. We need more people with this kind of courage and stability. Nice This was a very good book so good I want to meet everyone in in it gonna read it again and again "The Journey Back" By Johanna Reiss After reading "The Journey Back" I am more aware of the hardships, dangers, and deprivations Jews and others went through after World War II. The story takes place in Holland, and its about what happens to the members of a Jewish family after the war ends, and they return home. The main character in the sotry is a thirteen-year-old girl named Annie de Leeuw. She and jer sister Sini might have been killed if it weren't for the Oostervelds, the courageous family who hid them for three years. The other main characters are Annie's father and her oldest sister Rachel. When Annie returns home she finds that her family no longer knows one another. Her mother is dead; her father is distracted. Her sister Sini tries to make up for lost time by going dancing every night, and Rachel has changed her religion to Christianity. Another important character in the book is Magda, Annie's stepmother. No matter how hard she tries, Annie cannot seem to please her. To Magda, Annie is the most imperfect girl in the entire universe. She criticizes Annie's clothes, hair, manners, and about everything else. For this reason I think Annie's conflict is man vs. himself since she has to built a new life for herself. I like the book in general, though the end was a dissappointment since it didn't give details about what would happen to Annie and her family. I wish the author would explain things better, and not just leave some conflicts unresolved, like in the case of the mean stepmother. My predicitions for the future of Annie's family are that the stepmother will always be mean, and Annie will have to get used to her new life. I give the book four stars. Like I already said the end needs some work. I still think it's a very informative book, and it helped me learn more about Worl War II. I would love to read her memoir of the year after her ... I read The Upstairs Room as a teenager and never realized there was a sequel. Now as an adult, I found the sequel fascinating to read. It's always interesting to find out what happened after the first story ended. I would love to read her memoir of the year after her husband's death as well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Accident-Season-Audiobook/B011D4JMLE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Different in all the good ways. This won't be a book for everyone, because of the themes of ghosts, monsters, and secrets that hide in families. The characters are oddly authentic and relatable if you have similar experiences. The writing is whimsical and dark at the same time, and I greatly enjoyed the performance. Read this book! The Accident Season is creepy, beautiful, strange, lovely, haunting, powerful, and sad: all in one. Very interesting story What made the experience of listening to The Accident Season the most enjoyable? I loved the way the person reading it really felt like Cara. It was interesting way to tell a sad story. I had an experience that was similar to the one told, where I replaced hurt/sadness with fantasy. Books like these make me feel a little bit more sane! What did you like best about this story? The imagery was beautiful & I enjoyed the struggle between the characters to figure out what "normal" is. Have you listened to any of Colby Minifies other performances before? How does this one compare? No Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The moment of understanding what has really happened to Cara and her siblings. You really understand what made her mother worry so much & why "accidents happen" dreamlike Wonderful narrator! her voice made the story so much more enjoyable. it was like listening to a dream. A sweet, haunting story This book feels like a lovely escape into a world that feels real, but with a touch of mystery. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Things-Im-Seeing-Without-You-Audiobook/B074T2XZNX Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Seventeen-year-old Tess Fowler has just dropped out of high school. She can barely function after learning of Jonah's death. Jonah, the boy she'd traded banter with over texts and heartfelt emails. Jonah, the first boy she'd told she loved and the first boy to say it back. Jonah, the boy whose suicide she never saw coming. Tess continues to write to Jonah as a way of processing her grief and confusion. But for now she finds solace in perhaps the unlikeliest of ways: by helping her father with his new alternative funeral business, where his biggest client is...a prized racehorse? As Tess' involvement in her father's business grows, both find comfort in the clients they serve and in each other. But love, loss, and life are so much more complicated than Tess ever thought. Especially after she receives a message that turns her life upside down. Funny, heartbreaking, hopeful, and wondrous, in the vein of Six Feet Under and I'll Give You the Sun, Things I'm Seeing Without You is a beautiful examination of what it means to love someone, to lose someone, and to love again. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Peter Bognanni) Tue, 03 Oct 2017 04:22:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Things-Im-Seeing-Without-You-Audiobook/B074T2XZNX thebookvoice.com 07:02:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Things I'm Seeing Without You Author: Peter Bognanni Narrator: Emma Galvin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Teens, Family & Relationships Publisher's Summary: Fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and All the Bright Places will laugh and cry as they listen to this heartbreaking and life-affirming novel about love after the most profound loss. Seventeen-year-old Tess Fowler has just dropped out of high school. She can barely function after learning of Jonah's death. Jonah, the boy she'd traded banter with over texts and heartfelt emails. Jonah, the first boy she'd told she loved and the first boy to say it back. Jonah, the boy whose suicide she never saw coming. Tess continues to write to Jonah as a way of processing her grief and confusion. But for now she finds solace in perhaps the unlikeliest of ways: by helping her father with his new alternative funeral business, where his biggest client is...a prized racehorse?

Members Reviews: Four Stars a decent story but it seemed to get a little bogged down at the end Great read! Beautifully written. Very engaging. I finished in one day, which is very rare for me. Tessa was very believable to me and Bognanni brought out her strong voice and personality. This book has movie written all over it. I recommend you buy for your teenage relatives as I have done. I loved it It was overdramatic, mentally invigorating, heartbreaking and hopeful all wrapped up in one lovely masterpiece. I fell in love with how desperate yet collected the author portrayed the characters throughout the book. Absolutely Stunning Contemplative, gorgeous and original THINGS IâM SEEING WITHOUT YOU is thoughtful and heartbreaking and amusing and melancholy, and more than a little bit romantic, all at once. Itâs a story about life and death, love and loss, about finding a way to let go, and about figuring out how to keep going. And while there are a number of heavy issues, they are lightened through humor, celebration, and ideas that will make readers think. Tess couldnât deal with the loss of her long-distance boyfriend Jonah. So she ditched school and went to live with her Dad who wasnât exactly her favorite person in the world. Not after he spent her college fund and had no real way to earn the money back. But better her Dad than trying to cope with school, her roommate, her recently enlightened mother - even if it meant sheâd be tasked with helping him out with his latest scheme. And when she discovers something about her relationship with Jonah, something that changes everything she thought she knew and felt, having something else to focus on, like planning a pre-death funeral party for a former burlesque dancer, might just be enough of a distraction to keep her from feeling totally devastated. Peter Bognanni created a main character in Tess who has a tough exterior but who is also emotionally fragile. She is grief stricken, shocked, hurt and angry. Sheâs in pain but she has not given up, no matter how much life threw at her. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Frogs-French-Kisses-Audiobook/B002UZKT8Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I listened to them without another audio break. The story line is certainly teenage trauma/drama. Sarah Mlynowski certainly wrote about all of humanity when it comes to love, acceptance and young perspective of the world. I can't imagine another narrator, Ariadne Meyers did such a good job, she IS Rachel. Too much fun. I highly recommend. This is book 2 in the series. Do yourself a favor and listen to them in order. Great Read - Where is Spells & Sleeping Bags? The books keep on getting better. The narator is great and the story content is great. If you liked Bras & Broomsticks you will love this one also. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Memoirs-of-a-Teenage-Amnesiac-Audiobook/B002V1COSC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was very unique, add the story was so interesting. I loved the characters and plot, and the author's writing style. Highly recommend this novel. REAL Any additional comments? This book pretty much has it all - a great premise, thoroughly explored; realistic characters and situations; twists with maximum impact - with a bow of great narration on top! This book steers clear of the fantasy land that dominates many YA contemporaries, which I greatly appreciated because it allowed the author to more fully discuss what would happen to this character and those around her in a thought-provoking way. My quip comes with the main character not always making decisions I agreed with. She is supposed to make mistakes - which I love, and makes the story more real - but there was a portion where I didn't feel or understand her motivation. I also couldn't help comparing this book to Zevin's more recent trilogy (All These Things I've Done, which I HIGHLY recommend) which was longer and with more of a wow factor (because of the setting) that this book lacked. Greer was an ideal narrator - she didn't stand out, but in a good way. I was just immersed in the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Vivian-Apple-at-the-End-of-the-World-Audiobook/B00SK8TKXM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Loved this book Why I read it: I have my own storied history with religion (include some dark places that have left me a little wary and a lot jaded), and as a result, I like stories that take a serious look at what religions can be capable of. I also really loved the cover and title of this book. ZOMG Yes! I love Vivian Apple. Talk about character growth. From her first choice to the distinct change in her very last at the end of the book, Vivian has decided that she's the hero of her own story, and I can get behind that. This book also goes into the depths of friendship of two unlikely people. It's so raw and honest that I couldn't help but loving them both. As you read in the description, Vivian's parents were sucked into this religion, and she was not interested. I'm a sucker for parent-children dynamics in YA (even if the parents aren't there for the story itself). I have mommy issues (there, I said it), so I like seeing how this is examined with teenagers, because that's when mine started. Vivian Apple did not disappoint. I also have a soft spot for YA's with unapologetic cursing. I really, really love a well-placed curse word, and Katie Coyle nailed it here. kthxbai This was a fabulous story that left little to be desired, if anything. I'm excited to see where she goes with Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle. An imperfect heroine who is perfectly what this genre needs Wow. Just... wow. So I first saw people raving about this book on tumblr as part of the Reblog Book Club. And I sort of ignored it. It's not that I don't trust people on the Internet, but, well, I don't trust people on the Internet, and I heard dystopian YA and checked right out. Until it went on sale and I thought I'd give it a chance. Without regurgitating the plot altogether, I can tell you it features a heroine who's pretty ordinary and doesn't end up being extraordinary other than that she takes charge of her life on her own terms. She doesn't save the world or start a revolution or end up pregnant with a vampmire's baby. She simply faces an untenable situation and says "I'm going to do something. I'm not sure what, but it's better than sitting here." Is there romance? A little bit, but again, on her terms, and it isn't even a focal point of the book. Best of all, Vivian is relatable. She's not biting her lip or looking in the mirror and telling herself she's ordinary while some hero swoops in to tell her she's anything but. She's sort of unlikable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Here-We-Are-Now-Audiobook/B075KQ7KCK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Taliah Sahar Abdallat lives and breathes music. Songs have always helped Tal ease the pain of never having known her father. Her mother, born in Jordan and very secretive about her past, won't say a word about who her dad really was.

She writes to Julian, but after three years of radio silence, she's given up hope. Then, one day, completely out of the blue, Julian shows up at her doorstep, and Tal doesn't know whether to be furious or to throw herself into his arms. Before she can decide, he asks her to go on a trip with him to meet her long-estranged family and to say good-bye to his father, her grandfather, who is dying. Getting to know your father after 16 years of estrangement doesn't happen in one car ride. But as Tal spends more time with Julian and his family, she begins to untangle her parents' secret past and discovers a part of herself she never recognized before.

Members Reviews: Such a beautiful and tragic book Based on a true story, Crossing Ebenezer Creek was the civil war book that I have been looking for and dreaming about all my life. The main audience for this book is middle grade, or ages 11-14, but I think anyone interested in the topic and up for a little first love horror tragedy, then you should dive right in. This is an individual telling from the point of view of a group of slaves freed by Yankee soldiers. After being freed from their cruel master, they join the march on, eventually to Savannah, GA. Mariah and her brother Zeke, both slaves, jump in with hot Caleb, also a black man but a free one, driving a wagon for the Union. This makes for a grim backdrop for a love story but the author pulls it off, and for the next couple weeks Mariah and Caleb heartbreakingly begin to dream about what it would be like for them, together, after this is all over. There were many times during this story that I honestly had tears in my eyes. What they endured!! The descriptions of what the treatment of slaves was like, however brief, were still breathtaking, and not in the Grand Canyon kind of way. To know that people treated other people the way they were treated, that their lives were actually owned by someone else, it is still so saddening even when knowing it beforehand. Her story was sad and violent and I am 100% sure very common. Since I had no idea what had happened at Ebenezer Creek, I went in not knowing and was blindsided by the end. There was so much foreshadowing in the story though, there was no way you couldnât guess something ominous was coming eventually. In the end it was hot Caleb that I thought about as I lay away after finishing the book. The amount of suffering in this book is tremendous. The two main characters, almost star-crossed lovers, force you to instantly fall in love with both of them. As a reader I found myself hopeful for them in this crazy and contradictory times in their lives. So happy to be freed from slavery but knowing that the enemy is hot on their tail, not knowing if that could all come to an end in any instant. These characters had never had any hope before, and here they are wait for it to be taken away, like some cruel joke where the rug is jerked out from underneath you. Honestly the only thing that I didnât like about the book is that the characters had accents, and the author wrote in the accent, even when the character was thinking. Sometimes I had to sound things out in order to know what they were talking about. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Off-Season-Audiobook/B002V8HFXO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Off Season Author: Catherine Gilbert Murdock Narrator: Nataile Moore Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 05-03-07 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Teens, Family & Relationships Publisher's Summary: As autumn progresses, D.J. struggles to understand Amber, Schwenk Farm, her relationship with Brian, and most of all her family. As a whole herd of trouble comes her way, she discovers she's a lot stronger than she or anyone ever thought. This hilarious, heartbreaking, and triumphant sequel to the critically acclaimed Dairy Queen takes D.J. and all the Schwenks from Labor Day to a Thanksgiving football game you will never forget. Critic Reviews: "Though not as laugh-out-loud funny as the earlier title, The Off Season depicts a believably maturing D.J., a young woman whose character shines through even as she struggles to find her voice. Readers will root for her at every tragicomic turn, and will hope to hear from her again in future novels." (School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Awesome book, if you like DQ I really liked Diary Queen. It was a really good book and the main character (DJ Schwenk) is such a REAL person that you can immediately relate to. In this book, much like in DQ, DJ faces some troubles. Brian and DJ get a bit closer, and then something drastic happens that completely knocks DJ out of her shoes. There are many things that happen to DJ that I can never imagine happening to me. I would be too much of a wuss and complain too much. DJ doesn't do that. I think that is what makes her an admirable person. SPOILER ALERT ----- SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT ----- SPOILER ALERT If you are looking for more Brian/DJ romance, you will be a bit disappointed as it doesn't progress THAT much. At one point, their relationship perks up and then we (well, I) am sadly disappointed. END SPOILER ALERT ------ END SPOILER ALERT END SPOILER ALERT ------ END SPOILER ALERT All in all, a book I would recommend you get, but I didn't really like the ending, because you then need to get the next book to get a proper ending. You know, what I mean? It leaves in a bit of a cliffhanger, or so it seems to me. That kinda bummed me out. But, hey, it was good while it lasted -- StillObsessed Awesome series - Funny, sad, smart and everything in between I'm 37 years old and I'll read any age level as long as it's good. This is great. I love D.J. She's tough and decent and has a hilarious inner voice and is just a genuinely great person. At times she's given almost too much for a teenager to handle but she does it because there's no one else and at their core Schwenks go out there and get the job done. But what's really great about DJ is that she's not perfect. She gets angry and resentful and bottles up her feelings and shoves her foot in her mouth and thinks selfish thoughts. In other words she's a real, relatable person. Her family and the supporting characters are all vividly drawn and believable. No one's a villain and no one's perfect, just like real life. These books made me snicker and they made me cry and they made me smile about remembering the feeling of first love. I really recommend both Dairy Queen and The Off Season and I'm planning to send them to my nieces pronto because DJ's a pretty awesome role model. Kid Lit? Well, I liked it too. A seriously good sequel to Dairy Queen. Look, I could spoil it for you, but I think you should stop reading reviews and just get the books - Murdoch has addressed so many issues in these books that I can't do any of them justice without giving too much away. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Tender-Morsels-Audiobook/B002V0A7TQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Rich, inventive tale--but not for children I loved the darkness and rich innocence of this created world. The characters and culture presented are a mix of old village life, fairy tale, and ... sexual perversion and cruelty. This story has incest, rape, and retaliatory sodomy. I can't figure out how it wound up in Audible Kids! It's a very well told tale--original, beautiful, and powerful--but it's not for kids. Dark and Gloomy I wasn't sure I would like this book much from what I heard in the little sample given, but I bought it on a whim and was very pleased. The story is dark and gloomy and at times a bit rough to get through (some of the narration is a little muddled) but all in all it was a good listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Gem-Dixie-Audiobook/B06XBM37LW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Gem has never known what it is to have security. She's never known an adult she can truly rely on. But the one constant in her life has been Dixie. Gem grew up taking care of her sister when no one else could: not their mother, whose issues make it hard for her to keep food on the table, and definitely not their father, whose intermittent presence is the only thing worse than his frequent absence. Even as Gem and Dixie have grown apart, they've always had each other. When their dad returns home for the first time in years and tries to insert himself back into their lives, Gem finds herself with an unexpected opportunity: three days with Dixie - on their own in Seattle and beyond.

(Publishers Weekly starred review on Double Helix) Members Reviews: Amazing!! When my mom first told me to listen to this book i thouht, this is going to be another boring adult book. So i postponed reading it until i had read everything else. That turned out to be a huge mistake, because after reading this book i went ammidiatly to audible to find out if she had written anythin else. This book contains everything you could want in a book, mystery, romance, action, suspense, and family. It is written so well you feel connected to Lucy and her feelings in a way you dont with other books. And as for the reader i think she was just perfect. She had to read for a boy as well and she did an amazing job. I hope she read more books so i can buy them as well. Give it a chance What disappointed you about Impossible? I don't believe the story was a bad story it just was not my genre or the way that I like a love story to play out it was definitely not for me. What do you think your next listen will be? After I read this I definitely went back to my conference zone of happy ever after love story with those hot steamy scenes. It was definitely a from start to finish just about love. Which scene was your favorite? I always try to find a bright side of things and I guess I would say it would be where she was determined to not have history follow her. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Impossible? I always try to find a bright side of things and I guess I would say it would be where she was determined to not have history follow her. I would say maybe a little more explaining or backstory and more and maybe would've been a little bit more understanding but if I found myself confused re-reading a lot taking notes and I wasn't alone with the same thoughts Any additional comments? I will give this author another shake it just may have been the book was not my genre or my type of romance novel but we'll see what the next book :) Beautiful Love this story. Well written and well told. a story I will not forget the power of love and family. I cried tears of joy at the end. You to will enjoy this book. Beautiful, modern fairy tale I relished listening to his tale from start to finish. For me, there was the perfect balance of conflict, but it wasn't too stressful a listen. The story arc was relatively straightforward, but there wasn't a sense of plodding or page filler. The story flowed well. Even though the conclusion could be guessed pretty easily, it was still a bit of a nail biter till the plot-climax. As a reader/listener, I felt invested in the characters, and that they were real and three-dimensional. Definitely getting the sequel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Geek-Charming-Audiobook/B002V0PY12 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Slow paced story of a teen recovering from PTSD lacking an emotional connection Grade: C- After drinking at a party, Anna drives home with her drunk best friend Ellen in the passenger seat. Another car, with her brother in the passenger seat and his drunk (but otherwise perfect) girlfriend driving. Cameron does not survive. Ellen is badly injured. Jack, Ellen and Anna experience varying degrees of PTSD. At home, Anna's father, who has a history of OCD and rage seems to be falling apart. Positives: -An accurate description of PTSD and EMDR, though perhaps a bit over explaining the EMDR angle as well as the eye injury specifics and tests. None of this added to the story, but it did slow down the pace. -ER Frank created a realistic, dysfunctional family. Things that bothered me: -Drinking and driving was barely addressed. Other than the accident, there were no legal consequences for having drinking and driving and not even a stern lecture from parents. Anna did have alcohol in her blood and Cameron was drunk. ER Frank, a psychologist who uses EMDR, the treatment Anna had, in her practice, seemed to ignore this part of the story in favor of concentrating on the PTSD aspect of the aftermath of the accident. -I didn't feel attached to Anna or the story. The writing lacked a certain emotional connection. I should have picked up on some of Anna's feelings, but I never did. -Failure to address the father's OCD tyranny and rage episodes as emotionally abusive or the mother's lack of assertiveness in making headway with him. Frank should have toned him down, or named his treatment of his children as a use -The ending felt flat, like a shrug instead of a period, question or exclamation mark. BOTTOM LINE: WRECKED is a slow paced story of a teenager dealing with PTSD after an accident. Teens with PTSD will probably appreciate the story, and I'd recommend it to clients suffering from trauma. I wouldn't recommend WRECKED to other clients, but I wouldn't dissuade them from reading the book either. Four Stars A good story. I enjoyed it very much. The characters were well-developed and I liked the relationship between the brother and sister. Recommended for Middle School Kids Good book, I enjoyed it throughout my middle school years. A realistic take on the aftermath of an experience that changed more than just the lives of the people involved. I read this book a few years ago and decided to re-read it and give it a review. For itâs simplistic storyline and very straight forward description, this is actually a great read. It is a Young Adult book about a girl named Anna who goes to a party with her best friend, Ellen, and drinks for the first time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/True-Believer-Audiobook/B002UP1GC4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Narration by Heather Alicia Sims is splendid. It is not suitable for small children, as the themes would be beyond them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Bog-Child-Audiobook/B002V0PUF2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not for me. After reading a lot of positive reviews for this, I was excited to start!! But I'm baffled as to how bored I was with it!! I expected a fast paced, engaging read and what I got was a book that basically focused on a teen romance with a vampire. It had echoes of Twilight as well. So the book focuses on Echo Navarri, daughter of famous archaeologists Alice and Peter Navarri. On a dig with them, her twin, Midnight, goes missing without a trace and Echo is devastated. After a fruitless search, Echo's parents send her home to her aunt. There Echo meets Thorn Vega, a mysterious boy who she feels drawn to. As she dig deeper into who he is, she is drawn into a world she never knew existed. I didn't particularly like Echo. She was so..... boring maybe. I don't know!! I wanted her to be more proactive and less like she was. I have to say that I hated the insta love/connection she felt for Thorn. It was just so... ugh and overdone. I didn't care whether they got together or not. While reading, I felt like maybe I dozed off or something, because a lot of the time I was confused as to what was happening and had no clue what was going on, so I pressed back on the audio only to realise that I hadn't missed anything. It was just written like that! It felt very disjointed at times and honestly, at that point I didn't care for the story or the characters to go back and try to immerse myself again. Maybe it was just me, but I found it to be boring and predictable and not something I would read again. Sarah Puckett read it well. She was clear and easy to listen to and had a few tones and voices for the characters. I was voluntarily provided this free copy by the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. Cliffhanger Lowered Stars The dreaded cliffhanger! This one was pretty bad. However, I do plan to read or possibly listen to the next one. Narrator was okay, but only vaguely changed voices. No male voices to speak of either unless it was an accent. ABSOLUTELY WORTH A LISTEN! What made the experience of listening to 13 Ways to Midnight the most enjoyable? The best part about this book wasn't just the story, but the voice over reader. I have listened to audio books before with readers who have literally put me to sleep. This was NOT one of those.

Very strange book For school we had to read a book that was banded for something and i chose this book. Its a very weird book and not written intelligently (no offense). Its very short read and not boring just weird. Okay start, Great ending! 3.5 I was to keen on this book through the first half of it as I found parts of it was draggy and unnecessary, but as it went on it got better and better. The last half of the book really captured my attention and kept me wondering what will happen next.

Members Reviews: A School for Brides A couple of years ago, I read Keeping the Castle by Patrice Kindl. I loved everything about this YA regency story, so when I saw that there was a sequel, I was excited to read it. I borrowed A School for Brides from the library, and just finished reading it yesterday. This is not a true sequel because the protagonists from Keeping the Castle are relegated to minor roles, but we return to the village of Lesser Hoo in Yorkshire. The premise is that the unmarried stepsister from Keeping the Castle has opened a school for girls. Ostensibly, these young women are to be instructed in deportment and introduced into eligible young men, but thereâs one problem: Lesser Hoo is in the middle of nowhere, and there are no eligible young men. But one day, that changes when a young man stumbles out of a bush- quite literally. While this young gentleman is recuperating in Lesser Hoo, he is soon joined by some of his friends- much to the delight of the young ladies. It seems as though proper society has finally come to Lesser Hoo, but conflict arises in the form of several suspicious characters whose motives are most certainly sinister. Throw in a stolen necklace, a handsome young footman, and the worst sheepdog in the world, and youâve got a story! I thoroughly enjoyed my reading experience, but I was a little disappointed that A School for Brides doesnât quite capture the charm of Keeping the Castle. It was a little difficult to tell the young women apart. Each had a unique personality, but they tended to blend together; the same can be said for the young gentlemen. That said, I would still absolutely recommend A School for Brides. I would suggest that readers start with Keeping the Castle to gain a full picture of all that Lesser Hoo has to offer. A School for Brides is a wry and witty novel written for young adult audiences, but older fans of the regency period might enjoy this as well. I am not bothered by mature content, but I am sure that there are many who would appreciate that this novel keeps to regency era standards of propriety. fun, clever, light I read this book without having read Keeping the Castle first. As a Jane Austen fan, I figured I'd love the setting, and of course I did, but what I liked even better was the clever, light fun of it all. I'll admit that there are so many characters in the book I almost gave up on it at first. I'm glad I stuck with it, though -- I ended up liking the characters quite a bit, numerous as they are, and by the time it was finished I was sad to see it done. This is not the kind of book you sink into deeply, but it is the kind you smile through, witty and arch, where everything turns out just as it should. This book was fun, sweet This book was fun, sweet, and clever. I absolutely adored "Keeping the Castle", and was so excited to read a story set in the same area with some of the same characters. The book was written in the same style as its predecessor, which I liked. The characters were likable, the story rather simple, but I liked the addition of a mystery to the story. I loved reading a bit more about Althea and Mr Fredericks. They really are one of my favorite literary couples. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/If-Theres-No-Tomorrow-Audiobook/B076BYQ8ZS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Family lost and found 4.5 STARS When Dana wants to surprise her father, who grew up in foster care, by finding his biological relatives through DNA testing, she never expected to find Brandon, her same age half-brother. Brandon wants nothing to do with Dana or her sister or their father. And Danaâs mother has no idea. She doesnât want to break up their family by revealing the truth. Abigail Johnsonâs sophomore effort is filled with drama and heart. Danaâs a beautifully flawed character. Crushed under her softball coach dadâs tough expectations, feeling second best to her sister Dana truly wants to get he father an epic birthday person, biological family. Her methods arenât always wise or honest, but she genuinely wants to make everything right for everyone. THE FIRST TO KNOW, at its core, tells the story of family working through disappointments in themselves and in each other. At times heartbreaking, at times hopeful Johnson proves sheâs even better the second time. I canât wait to see what she writes next. I loved this book even better than her first book Abigail Johnson has secured her place on my list of top favorite contemporary authors with this book. It's everything you want in a good story. Heartfelt characters you can sink into and live their life as it unfolds on the page, handsome well-rounded guys that make your heart pound harder, realistic family drama that propels the story forward. I loved this book so much. Amazing, emotional, beautiful YA. Once again I am left utterly speechless by an Abigail Johnson novel. How does she do it!?!! Because The First To Know is the most incredible, agonising, rip-your-heart-out-and-then-sew-it-back-together, amazing book. Asdffdhngikaldnvj....I hope the publisher wasn't expecting a put-together, coherent review, because all they are going to get is swooning, sighs, exclamation marks and fan-girling. Because it really is just. that. good. When Dana decides to surprise her father with a birthday present to beat all birthday presents, she could never have expected the bombshell she would unleash. The DNA testing kit was supposed to unveil some long-lost family members - parents or cousins perhaps - for her father who grew up in foster care never knowing anything about his heritage or family. Instead, Dana discovers that her father has a son. A son who is not that much older than she is...and not that much younger than her sister. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Looking-for-JJ-Audiobook/B002V01J5W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The images, the sounds, and the aftermath are imprinted on her memory. She'll never be able to forget, even though she's trying to lead a normal life. She's making a go of things, putting her past behind her at last. But Alice's past is dangerous, and violent, and sad. And it's about to rip her new life apart.

Members Reviews: Awesome narrating, Sarah! And great book! Would you consider the audio edition of Once Was Lost to be better than the print version? I felt like I was right there in the book. What did you like best about this story? My favorite part was when Jodi was found. So scared that she might've been dead. What does Sara Zarr bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Just the fact that Sarah Zarr was the author and the narrator made the events in the story feel more real and I felt like I was going though what the main character was going through.

I am a new fan. GREAT!!!! one of the best book i've ever read listening to it on audible just makes it feel like the book is coming ALIVE!!!! great book i give it a 10/10!!!! Great Fantasy Story Loved the vampire lore and complex dynamics between vampires! Great easy read if you want to get to know the characters well and get lost in an enthralling story. Make sure you've read the prequels though. You might have to trudge through Twilight but the Romance dies down eventually. Overall loved it. I'm a 22 Male, don't feel bound to avoid if you're not a teenage girl. One of my favouriates Love the whole series. The story keep you interested right the way through.

Members Reviews: Not just another Young Adult book Would you listen to Silence Is Goldfish again? Why? Yes I would. The story is gripping and nuanced. You really start to care about the main character as she struggles with loss of trust. The narrator really captures so many shades of emotion--it is really the dialog that makes this story, and the narrator is very deft. What did you like best about this story? The dialog. The articulateness of Tess. Which character as performed by Jayne Entwistle was your favorite? Tess, of course, but she does really well with step-dad Jack, and makes my skin crawl with Anna, the school beauty/bully. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? When not talking says the most. Any additional comments? Marvellous, really glad to read/listen. YESS!! I loved it, I have wared for so long and finally I got it and it was amazing loved it! I've been waiting for ages and it was worth the wait :) definitely read this book, you won't be disappointed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Just-a-Normal-Tuesday-Audiobook/B076HX8593 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

All it takes is a letter, tucked into a pile of their family's mail. It's from Kai's older sister, Jen, who lives nearby. And it begins: "If you are reading this, I am already gone." Jen has committed suicide. Dazed, Kai helps to plan Jen's funeral and tries to cope with their devastated parents, all the while searching for answers. How could Jen do this, and why? Kai is heartbroken and furious, and soon she's caught in a vicious downward spiral, self-medicating and lashing out at the people she loves. That's when her parents shock her: They're sending her to the Tree House, a summer camp for grieving teens. Kai is not a happy camper at first. But when she meets other kids who are grappling with loss, she begins to share her feelings, find a way forward, even laugh...and fall in love. Just a Normal Tuesday offers a road map for anyone who has been touched by loss and anyone who is looking for hope in a broken world.

(Veronica Rossi, New York Times best-selling author of Under the Never Sky) Members Reviews: A wasted opportunity There was so much potential in this story about a teenager having to deal with her sister's sudden suicide. And yet the author spends very little time details the emotional state. Yes certain events are depicted but as I read I found myself thinking this was more a romance thinly veiled as a novel about dealing with loss. It did not help that the main protagonist is just not believable. The secondary characters are more interesting. Most disturbing is the author's implied plot device that the female lead can only find peace in the arms of the male lead. There are shining moments but instead of making the most out of these opportunities the author prefers for us to believe in the romance line. It was disappointing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Wait-for-Me-Audiobook/B002V1NKJO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Spellbinding." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Beautiful and observant it kept me reading Supposedly Mina has everything going for her. She is an honor student on the verge of attending her senior year of college after which she plans on attending to Harvard; but is she? These are the things that she allows her mother to believe the summer before her senior year. She and her little sister Suna work days at their parents dry cleaners and Mina spends the evenings going to a college prep course at the local library. Trapped by the lies that she has told her mother, Mina has been siphoning money from her family's dry cleaners so that she can run away to a new life since she knows that Harvard is not in her future. I squealed and had a few tears in my eyes after reading this beautiful and thoughtful story of two sisters struggling to find themselves and their way in less than ideal family circumstances. The narrative alternates between Mina and and Suna in the first and third person respectively. Mina, being more caught up in the day to day weight of being her mother's favored child and in being her sister's protector, has the more active voice. Suna, who is always trying to escape the world and often unplugs her hearing aid to dodge her mother's harsh nagging and criticism, is a distant observer and her brief chapters provide a fleeting emotional overview of the sisters' lives and their limited world. Even though the narratives and voices are so different the story unfolds seamlessly, and without being consciously aware of it I received information about the sisters and their family history which affects the volatile dynamics between Umma, the girls' mother, with Apa (their father) and her daughters as well. With the exception of Mina, and Suna to a lesser extent, the development of the other characters can be a little thin, but I was okay with that because of the almost dream like quality of the style and writing of the book, and the fact that neither Mina or Suna closely examine the lives of others. Their narrative gives enough hints of the other characters that you can just begin to sketch out what their lives and motivations might be. They are all the background here since Suna cares solely for Mina, and Mina cares solely for her sister and running away from the lies she has told and the mess she has created. Umma and her friend Mrs. Kim have a friendship that is fraught with competitiveness over their children- how smart they are and who will make it into a better school (in this case Harvard vs. Stanford) even as Umma humbles herself to looks to take help and advice from Mrs. Kim. Mrs. Kim's son, Jonathan, is a whip smart teenager taking advantage of the power position that he has over Mina. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/On-Location-Audiobook/B002V9Z4O0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The second in the "Secrets of my Hollywood Life" series by Jen Calonita is all that I expected it to be. Excellent light lit for young adults. Kaitlin Burke has landed a killer role in what will be next summers biggest blockbuster. She managed to snag the guy of her dreams, believe it or not a high school boy. Kaitlin met Austin while she was pretending to be Rachel, and gain some anonymity away from the paparazzi. Once the jig was up she wasn't sure Austin would be into the real Kaitlin Burke. All those troubles seem miles away now. That is until she finds out her heartbreaking ex-boyfriend/slimeball Drew and conniving, backstabbing costar Sky have both been cast to star in the as of yet untitled film project alongside her. Suddenly her life is in a tailspin and she is being hammered with bad publicity. She has no idea how to dig herself out of this nasty hole she is in. She worries she might lose what she cares about most in her life, Austin. I like this series, its fluffy and fun to read. I am looking forward to Secrets of my Hollywood Life - Family Affairs up next! Wish it went on forever Holy macaroni!! That story was even better, funnier and juicier than the first book. The last line or so was a tad cheesy, but other than that it was totally fantabulous!!! :) :) :) ;) I gave it 5 stars 4 a reason This was a great book. It taught me what it is like to be famous. It was very easy to read, especially because th main character had the same name as me. I would recommend this. It isn't Divergent or anything, but it was still a great book. I wish that they would make a movie based on this series. She was really happy and is reading it as I type this My daughter read the first book and this is the second. She was really happy and is reading it as I type this. She loves the Kaitlyn stories. On Location Secrets of My Hollywood Life: On Location is yet another light and fun chick-lit read. Much like the first novel, we revisit the glamours life of Kaitlin Burke and of course someone is out to make her career bomb! The Hollywood secrets continue to be one of my favorite aspects of the book. I think that I would have enjoyed the book more had the plot not reminded me so much of the first book. I'd like to see Kaitlin deal with real issues, besides those revolving around someone sabotaging her career. However, I did enjoy the second installment and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Ten-Mile-River-Audiobook/B002V8MHH8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Almost a GREAT Book Would you consider the audio edition of Ten Mile River to be better than the print version? Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I really liked when Jose helped Ray out of the freezing water. It showed just how complex their relationship really is. Nornally, I would be thinking "Get away from that kid, Ray", but when you see both sides of their relationship, it's not that easy of a decision. Any additional comments? I could have easily given this book 5 stars, but I need an ending to really enjoy a book... and a beginning, now that I'm thinking about it. The book will leave you hanging, so you need to know that before you buy it. Also, we never find out how the 2 main characters ended up in the situation they are in (Homeless in New York City). Other than those 2 minor(?) issues, the book was terrific! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Meet-Your-Match-Audiobook/B0182YDC00 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It gave great insight in what drove them to be the way they are. I understand why Brook was so worried about getting involved with Luke. The narration was awesome as always. The story sucked me in and I enjoyed every bit of it! As always Lindzee delivers a great clean story. I love high school romance. It is sweet how hard Luke works to gain Brooks friendship. Looking forward to my next Lindzee Armstrong book! **This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion** Sweet and flirty This short book was good listening! It involves a 16 yr old disillusioned girl, who has no interest in boys because of her parents divorce. She meets a boy and they decide to become 'just friends'. But sometimes, that's really a hard deal to keep! Wish it were a little longer, but liked it very much! Loved this prequel I liked the other books in this series and went back and got this one, the beginning of their story (Brooke/Luke). It was great to get a little bit of background on their relationship. Really enjoying this story. It was nice to find out where the rules came from and how they were created. It helped to understand a bit more about Brooke, although you don't need this to enjoy the other books. Lindzee does a great job of telling their story. Sweet high school romance This short story was a nice, easy story to listen to. I liked how the author put in the family problems and how the main character was dealing with it. So true in today's world. The narrator, Tiffany Williams made this story so much fun and so easy to listen to, giving each character their own voice. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the series. I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. Matched... Differently from what I expected?? When I first read the overview , i thought it might be a sweet valley high, kinda book but immediately the narrator ( Tiffany) caught my attention and kept it! It was mature and I greatly appreciate the content. Lindzee , I really enjoy your writing and this book is super cute and fun. I look forward to listening to the others.

Ten years later, an execution date is set and Joe heads to Texas to spend time with Ed, whom he hasn't seen since Ed's arrest. Joe wrestles with his childhood memories of poverty and neglect as well as questions about Ed's claimed innocence. MOONRISE is my second Sarah Crossan novel in verse. I enjoyed ONE with points of view from two conjoin twins. Crossan is my favorite verse writer due to her ability to make characters come alive and feel like real people, despite the challenges of the format. MOONRISE is told from Joe's first person POV. I could easily see how he developed his questionable ethics and I wanted to give him a hug. Ed was equally complex. Though he claims innocence, I had reasons to think he was probably guilty and probably innocent and that he should have never been on death row regardless. MOONRISE made me feel and root for both flawed brothers. A bautifully written book that will make you think and feel angry about injustice The premise for Moonrise couldn't be further removed (quite literally) from Sarah Crossan's previous novel One if it tried. Rather than focusing on two siblings who are physically never apart, instead protagonist Joe hasn't seen his older brother in many years because Ed's been on death row for the supposed murder of a policeman. Living in a completely different state from the prison, it is not until Ed's execution date has been set that Joe travels up to see him. And in those briefly stolen moments of brotherly visits before the inevitable ending, Joe and Ed try to make up for lost time. A story of life and death is never an easy one, but this book in particular made me so angry; about the unfair justice system, and especially how prejudice can have such a significant impact on someone's existence â and when it ends. The flashbacks of brothers Joe and Ed growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, interwoven with the present timeline where now 17-year-old Joe moves to Texas to see his brother again for the first time in 10 years as the date for Ed's execution nears is absolutely harrowing. Not only that but author Sarah Crossan deftly dissects the sibling relationship, getting to the very core of what makes Ed and Joe brothers and all the things they've missed out on in their relationship by being forced apart during their formative years. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/How-to-Build-a-House-Audiobook/B002VA3BUI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dana Reinhardt only knows how to write great books Harper needs to get away for the summer. Away from LA. Away from the guy that used her for sex. Away from her stepsister and best friend Tess, who she found kissing that guy. Away from her father, who is divorcing her stepmother, only mother Harper has even known. She volunteers with a charity to help build a house lost in a devastating tornado. Now she's in a small, broken down with strangers, building a new house for a family, including the cute son Teddy, displaced to a FEMA trailer since the tornado. The next 12 weeks will be filled with friends, new experiences and maybe even a boyfriend. While building the house. She'll also try to figure out how to rebuilt the house (family) she lost back home. I think I'd read a supermarket list, in Dana Reinhardt wrote that list. After reading, HARMLESS. I wanted to read more from her, but none of the books sounded that interesting, to be honest. Amazon had GIRLS LIKE US on sale so I figured at $1.99, I could afford to dislike the novel. It far exceeded my expectations and not held my attention, but made me think in new ways. I could go on and on about how each book I thought would be boring was a four or five star read. HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE is her latest novel that was so much better than the blurb. Harper is a great narrator and character. She's easy to empathize with and root for without feeling sorry for her. Her biological mother died when she was two, now at seventeen her stepmother moved to a new place with her two stepsisters and half brother. Reinhardt has somehow written Harper in a way that's not pitiful. Her father and Tess are multidimensional, flawed, yet solid. Teddy seemed a little too perfect, although someone did mention that a summer love often only shows the best of people. Although HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE is somewhat a character story without tension, it was still a page turner. Reinhardt writes realistic, often subtle dialogue with unique voices. My only criticism is the ending, it wasn't awful, but I would have liked more in an epilogue. A sequel would also be wonderful. I recommend HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE for those interested in books about family, divorce, friendship, charity, accept imperfections in others, romance or those who simply enjoy well written books with great characters. Five Stars Quick read very engaging enlightening not heavy read it in a couple of hours at the beach. i love it. i will not sleep tonight. i love it. Compelling for teens and adults too ! I read this book and found it compelling, amusing and highly entertaining. It will hold your attention throughout and will grab at your heart in the most unexpected of places. I am well past MY teen years but would have found it a great insight had it been available to me then. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Life-Is-Funny-Audiobook/B002V5BT5W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Milagritos Me encanto este libro, excelente como todos los anteriores. Julia Alvarez es una gran escritora. Finding Miracles A story to capture the heart and make you want to keep driving in order to keep listening to its narration. A good exploration of adoption feelings... The book explores the feelings of an adoptive child and her family as they struggle to understand the child?s interest in searching for information about her birth parents and her birth country. The author does a superb job in exploring the problems and feelings that may take place in an adoptive family situation, including discrimination. The book does keep your interest until the end and I enjoyed it. The narration is also done very well, with a healthy sprinkling of Spanish language that accentuates the cultural differences. The ending, however, is somewhat disappointing because as a reader/listener I was left expecting some interesting major coincidence that never materialized. Also, the book centers around the problems in the girl?s birth country- a Latin American country that is never mentioned by name. As the plot evolves one realizes that it is a fictional country. The only problem is that I do not want to know it is fiction when I read fiction! It would have been much better if the author had selected a real country as the backdrop for the book. Nonetheless, I feel that the book deserves four stars for effectively dealing with realistic adoption issues. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Killers-Cousin-Audiobook/B002V5BNKI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: A Delightful Insight Great narration, good story, and memorable one-liners for those who listen closely. The book puts you in the head of a 16 just turned 17 yr old intelligent American born Indian girl growing up in Jersey the summer before her Senior year in high school. It speaks to adapting to your culture but it's more than about being Indian. My daughter " just liked the book" . For me it was a multi-cultural snapshot - Indian, high school, college, big city- and a reminder of high school Summer days, the journey of self discovery, and the importance of being connected to family and friends. Boorrr-ing In defense of this book, I didn't realize it was of the "Judy Blume" ilk. I found the characters shallow, the narration pedantic, the characters stereotypical, and the story unbearable. If you're a teenager, this might be your cup of tea. For me, I stopped listening after the third chapter. super-duper I fell in love with this book in five minuets! It was very well done and very, very intelligent. Gwyn and Dimple are amazing characters who deal with real life circustances.

Members Reviews: Slanted I really like this story in 6th grade and it kept my attention when i was struggling with reading. I liked to know that someone who worked hard despite the odds could succeed. Of course, it's fiction. Now that I have read it in high school, I understand the nuances of the interplay between characters and the criticism of government, and it seemed more like it was focused on inference and insinuation than Horatio Alger. I'm very happy it came on time & just how it shows ... The book is just how I pictured it to be! I'm very happy it came on time & just how it shows in the picture for it to be! Five Stars Thank you great book. this is a great book. i love reading it. i bought it because it was cheap and also i needed it one of my class to read. Five Stars Great condition.

I thought I'd see what Adele Griffin books were on the shelf since I'd already read two and enjoyed them a lot. When I saw that this book focused on two sisters, I was sold. It alternated between third-person perspective about older, now dead sister Jane and first-person perspective from younger, still living Lily. The sisters are just a year apart in age but are worlds away in personalities. Lily is acclimated to the outside world, popular with a boyfriend and a cheery disposition. Jane prefers her solitude where she can pretend and she struggles with Lily's easy acceptance into the outside, away from their house, their family, and her. The book only covers a couple of days after the death of Jane, switching between Jane's path to an afterlife and coming to an understanding about her life and Lily's struggle to move on. In general I preferred Lily's narration because of the personality that accompanies a first-person narration and because I was fascinated by her relationship with her boyfriend Caleb, her anchor who keeps her from sinking in grief. Jane's story is more remembrances of her history and eventually quick segment about her death. Although I had expected a highly emotional read based on my feelings about sister-sister stories where one of them is hurt or dead, I did not get that from this story. I felt sad for them as their relationship didn't end on a positive note and I was happy that they got a measure of closure. But I had anticipated crying and an internal ache, which I did not have at the end. Overall: Well-written but not as emotional as I had hoped. Insightful novel on sibling rivalry and mental illness Jane and Lily are sisters who have always shared a vivid imaginary world. Jane, the elder sibling, was always able to create games her sister Lily loved. But Lily wants to grow up. She starts making friends at school and gets her first boyfriend, while Jane seems stuck in increasingly violent fantasies. The family comes to realize that Jane is mentally ill. She is put on anti-psychotic medication, but even with the aid of medication Jane realizes she will never be the same kind of normal as her younger, popular sister. An accident separates the sisters, and the story, narrated from opposite sides of the grave, is about the two sisters --- one living, one dead --- still trying to make peace with the life they shared together. Adele Griffin is the author of a number of psychologically insightful thrillers for young people. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/A-Letter-to-My-Daughter-Audiobook/B00NMQYOTW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Short and Sweet Content, Stellar Narration Would you listen to A Letter to My Daughter again? Why? Yes, it's a short and easy listen. Very pleasant reading by Shon Wilson. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Nothing, the author's point was delivered effectively. Which character as performed by Shon Wilson was your favorite? Shon Wilson gave a truly wonderful performance. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? N/A - not really suitable for a film adaptation. Great narration. This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Mothers needing a way to talk to their daughters. What was most disappointing about Nina Simone Gainess story? Trite. Nothing really original. Have you listened to any of Shon Wilsons other performances before? How does this one compare? Her narration was wonderful. She made the letters come alive. What character would you cut from A Letter to My Daughter? There are no real characters to cut. Just a mother reading her own letters to her daughter. Any additional comments? No. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Saint-Iggy-Audiobook/B002V5COAG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Outstanding and heartbreaking If you could sum up Safe and Sound in three words, what would they be? Mesmerizing, horrifying, graphic. What other book might you compare Safe and Sound to and why? I can't compare any other books with Safe and Sound. It's a class of its own. Which character as performed by Abigail Hope Endsley was your favorite? Both Hailey and Carson were my favorite characters. Their bond was touching and Carson's devotion was heartwarming. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Safe and Sound is a good title. Any additional comments? This book had me reading in stunned, frozen silence. The graphic reality of the society's underbelly was sickening, but very realistic. Monsters disguised as humans were especially frightening, no conscience, just money and power. The warning was fully justified, but the graphic scenes were necessary to include it in order to fully present the victims plight. Very intense. The ray of hope was Carson and Hailey's relationship, which was strengthening through their journey. Some scenes between them were very sweet, even their arguments helped them to build their bond. I was impressed by Carson's devotion and maturity, and his determination to protect Hailey, regardless of the danger to his own life. Highly recommended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Girls-in-the-Moon-Audiobook/B01LXD1VYY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: there are no words I cannot possibly describe this book. There are no words to do it justice. I laughed. I ugly cried. It absolutely broke my heart and fixed parts of me I never knew were broken. I love the book, carnegie medal winning and written in free verse it's a very different experience to the audio book - however in spoken word the depth of the novel really does change. The narrator does a brilliant Job and I cannot recommend it enough. Completely unique ok so I hadn't read any Sarah Crossan before, I think I may own some Sarah Crossan but this one came so highly recommend on twitter, in Bookshops, from other bloggers who know what I like that I had to get it. I ended up downloading the audiobook because I knew I wanted to read it straight away and I only had time for audiobooks in the final term at school so... I would definitely be interested in owning a physical copy of this book because I have flicked through it in Bookshops and it seems like a really cool way to read a book, the set up, the structure, the way it is set in verse. I can tell from the audiobook that I would be a really quick read that way too and so I definitely plan on buying the physical version of this book so that I can experience the structure as well as just the story. The subject matter of this book is really interesting and I never thought that I would so interested in a book like this but in was fascinated by the thoughts and feelings that come across from these confined twins, these characters in this book and the way Sarah across an must have put so much research into this that u found myself swept along with their story. It's really hard to talk too much more about the subject matter without giving away spoilers but I did really enjoy that this was a new subject for a book for me and I think the uniqueness is the reason, along with the structure that so many people liked it. I do feel a little like this book suffered in my rating of it because of the length and because of the fact that scenes sometimes felt a little disjointed because of the structure of it, the rhythm and the pace were obviously a key focus here and so I think it meant that there wasn't as much depth as I'd hoped there'd be in the book, or it could be the fact that it is designed for younger readers and so further depth might have affected the audience and purpose. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/First-Kisses-1-Trust-Me-Audiobook/B0062CX2IC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This was a unique series in that it was written by different authors, but was still popular with a lot of readers. i'm 35 & i enjoy them i love these books. i'm 35 and still love some cute little girl books. i started reading them in preparation for when my daughter would be at this age and have stuck with some certain authors. Rachel Hawthorne is one. Didn't live up to my expectations I was not a big fan of this book, which is a shame because in general I love this type of book and I am a fan of this author's works. In my opinion certain rules need to be followed with light romantic comedy type reads like this one. First of all, I need to see why the characters are attracted to each other, and honestly I have no idea why Sean would be into Jess. She is surly and rude to him throughout the entire book. Hawthorne tries to justify this through perceived past wrongs but honestly she treats this guy like dirt, so why would he bother. Another issue I have with the book is that questions and conflicts are raised but never resolved. For example, there is growing tension throughout the book between Jess and her best friend Liz, but we never have ANY kind of resolution on that. Do they stay friends? Do they start to hate each other? Do they just drift apart??? We are never told, so I guess we'll never know. Also, Jess deals with a lot of inner turmoil and stress over whether or not she is actually cut out to be a camp councilor. She signs up originally for boys and freedom, but as she is preparing she starts to wonder if she's qualified to actually take care of other people. We never find out if she has found that confidence at the end of the book. It seems like some issues are solved with the ending, but others are just left out to dry. There were some funny moments in the book, and some great romantic scenes between the two main characters, but that isn't enough to justify reading this book for me. I feel like this is an early draft that should have been worked on a little more before being published. Other 'First Kiss' novels are very good, and other Rachel Hawthorne books are very good, but this one isn't recommended by me. Cute for all ages As soon as I saw the First Kisses series available for pre-order on Amazon I knew I had to have them! I just recently bought the first two and thought they were great. What I love about this series is that they're good for pre-teens as well as teens. The main characters in these books are around the age of 14, and the common thread is that they have never been kissed before. Trust Me is about a girl named Jess. She and her best friend Liz have been going to the same summer camp for 4 years straight, but this year it's different, they're counselors now instead of campers. Jess thinks this summer will be the best one yet, until she is shocked to find out her "trust partner" for the counselor training week is Sean Reed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Scarlett-Fever-Audiobook/B004ETEN3S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Uncle Hoyt hires migrant workers regularly, but Pearl doesnt pay much attention to them... until Amiel. From the moment she sees him, Pearl is drawn to this boy who keeps to himself, fears being caught by la migra, and is mysteriously unable to talk. And after coming across Amiels makeshift hut near Agua Prieta Creek, Pearl falls into a precarious friendship and a forbidden romance. Then the wildfires strike. Fallbrook - the town of marigolds and palms, blood oranges and sweet limes - is threatened by the Agua Prieta fire, and a mandatory evacuation order is issued. But Pearl knows that Amiel is in the direct path of the fire, with no one to warn him, no way to get out. Slipping away from safety and her family, Pearl moves toward the dark creek, where the smoke has become air, the air smoke. Laura McNeal has crafted a beautiful and haunting novel full of peril, desperation, and love. Critic Reviews: "The catastrophic wildfires that ravaged Southern California in 2007 serve as the backdrop for this compelling story of a forbidden romance with tragic consequences.... Drawn in by the appeal of clandestine love and looming disaster, teens will also be rewarded with much thought-provoking substance in this novel's complex characters and hauntingly ambiguous ending."

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Dark Water is a wonderful book for fans of We Were Liars Dark Water is a wonderful book for fans of We Were Liars, Even In Paradise, and any of Melina Marchetta's novels. It is a short,emotional story tale of personal growth and yes- tragedy. "The breeze that carried you off is lifting me Gently; and I shall follow those who loved me in my exile."- Victor Hugo Reading this book again after two years was an interesting experience. I found myself appreciating McNeal's vivd imagery and the complex, interesting characters: our main character lives on a farm in FallBrooke, where it is sunny most of the year with her enigmatic french aunt, her kind uncle, genius cousin, and divorced mother. McNeal also did a great job preserving the narrators age in her writing.....Pearl DeWitt sounded like Pear DeWittt. I really appreciated that. âTu' eres de dos mundos." He was wrong, of course. You can only belong to one world at a time.â The plot, if it in fact does "fail"- it fails because McNeal only let's minimal amount of darkness in. Much like in Even In Paradise, most Dark Water's characters get off easy. It's not realistic. However, I am willing to let this slide because it is such a beautiful story Laura McNeal succeeds in keeping her reader's attention by climbing inside her characters' minds. We watch the young mygrant bo I will read more of Laura McNeal's books. She holds my attention throughout her book, especially because of her strong characterization. Dark Water entrances Laura McNeal's new novel for middle grade/young adult readers, Dark Water, is an exceptionally well-written and traditional novel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Silent-Superstitions-Audiobook/B003VPOAQG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A ONE ROOM SCHOOL, ONE TEACHER, 67 CHILDREN, AND A CURSE How did she do it? Nineteen year old Christy Huddleston answers the plea for a teacher for the children of Cutter Gap. Imagine her feelings when 67 children, some only a couple of years younger than she fill the one room school house. Or better yet, her feelings when Creed lifts a trap door over a crawl space under the school house floor,begins pulling pigs out, and letting them loose in the school. As if that is not enough, the great grandmother of some of her students decides that Christy is cursed and determines to drive her away from Cutter Gap. SILENT SUPERSTITIONS is a must read, especially if you've read Catherine Marshall's Christy and ached to know the rest of the story! Christy by Catherine Marshall from Amazon I loved Christy by Catherine Marshall. It grabbed me in the first few pages. It brought life in the Smoky Mountains alive to me. Christy was a lovable,innocent but tenacious young woman. There was the right amount of tasteful romance mixed with a picture of the people and their way of life in the mountains. The children were wonderful. For All Ages I loved all of the Christy books. Warm, heartfelt, sincere, compassionate, innocent; people who genuinely care about one another. Love shared between them. The kids she taught were in need of someone who loved them unconditionally like Christy did. Five Stars EXCELLENT series for teen girls and moms. Exciting book for the young reader. "You brought the curse with you, girl!" Christy Rudd Huddleston is a nineteen year old girl who moved to Cutter Gap to become a teacher. Granny O'Teale, the grandmother of six of Christy's students belives that Christy Huddleston has brought with her a curse to Cutter Gap. Is Granny O'Teale right? Is it because of Christy's curse that Bob Allen, one of Christy's students, had a terrible accident? Will Granny O'Teale drive Christy from Cutter Gap? Or will the childrens fears be overcome by Christy's loving heart? Silent Superstitions is part of the Christy series written by Catherine Marshall and is a must for young adult fiction readers everywhere. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Bathhouse-Audiobook/B002V1M74S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: simple yet powerful An absolutely beautiful book here. It's hard to say that I enjoyed reading it, as the subject matter is difficult, but the prose is well-written and draws you into the story. I've long been fascinated with the middle-east and love reading stories from all over. This is a great look into the impact the Iranian revolution had on some people. I'm learning about immigrants and refugees right now in one of my graduate classes, and this book, while fictional, gave a good look into conditions that might result in flight from a country. Overall, I would heartily recommend this book to lovers of fiction and history. A book you want to read in one sitting! Once in a while a book comes along that you start to read and you can't put down until you finish reading it. This is one such book. The naive school girl who is taken to a horrible political prison starts out as any young, innocent and naive teenager who is not interested or involved in politics. But once there, she witnesses and experiences what is happening to political prisoners, in this case women prisoners, behind the prison walls all in the name of God and all because they do not agree with the ideology of the ruling class. This is not a story limited to a country or conflict. It is a universal story that can happen, has happened and is happening in many countries. But, Farnoosh Moshiri somehow takes us along with her young protagonist through the events of this book so that it is as if we are experiencing them with her. The writing is powerful yet natural and flowing and you just can't stop reading until the end. And, when you close the book, it is as if you have matured along side the protagonist, all in the short span of a month for her and just hours for you, but the lessons will stay with you for a lifetime. I recommend this book to everyone, especially to young women. Mesmerizing and Overpowering Reading! Once you begin reading this fictional account of a young woman's ordeals under a fundamentalist regime, you, like I, will not be able to lay the book down until you finish it. It took me about four hours to read this lyrically gripping story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Four-Short-Stories-by-Mark-Twain-Audiobook/B002V0QOUM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I don't usually submit reviews because I can't seem to gather my thoughts. But I had to this time. This book left me absolutely speechless. It's not just a sappy teenage story about finding love, honestly. It's so much more. There's heartbreak, surprise, and meaningful love. TRUE, meaningful love. Although the way Amy treated Griffin was less to ideal, I thought Amy and Pete were great together, and I thought they shouldn't have ended. Amy/Bird is an absolutely fantastic character. She doesn't understand what she wants, but she realizes in the end exactly what is right for her life. The book doesn't technically end happily for her relationships, but she finally understands the true meaning of unconditional love, and you can feel it through the words. No, I'm not kidding. This book is so beautifully written, you won't be able to put it down. Even though I didn't understand/like why things didn't work out between Pete and Amy, it still felt that there was hope that they would find a way back to each other, for themselves and their family. Loved this book, it seriously brought me to tears. A MUST READ! Realistic and Entertaining, Despite Its Flaws The biggest thing going for 40 Things I Want to Tell You is its realism: Bird is put through the ringer before a glimpse at a happy future is shown. Her decisions come back to haunt her, and her friends don't let her get away with her self-indulgence. And when the biggest mistake of her life changes her life forever, you know there's no going back. Some of Bird's decisions left me frustrated or confused, and the odd European slang choice threw me for a loop, but I mostly found myself enjoying 40 Things I Want to Tell You, despite its flaws. Bird was a hard protagonist to like. Her online alias, "Miss-Take-Control-Of-Your-Life," was the exact opposite of who I envisioned Bird to be: other than writing a few to-do lists at the beginning of 40 Things I Want to Tell You, and being told by her best friend how predictable she was, Bird was never in control. She was oblivious to the growing tension between her parents, oblivious to the missing chemistry between herself and her boyfriend, Griffin, and oblivious to what it means to truly be someone's friend. She lied - to everyone - under the pretence of not wanting to hurt anyone, and then would head home and give advice to a teen about being honest! She was judgmental, basing her opinions of Pete off of the gossip floating around school, and she had no backbone, letting everyone walk all over her. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Conni-Mandy-und-das-wilde-Wochenende-Conni-Co-13-Audiobook/B073375GBZ Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> Titel: Conni, Mandy und das wilde Wochenende (Conni & Co 13) Autor:: Dagmar Hoßfeld Erzähler: Ann-Cathrin Sudhoff Format: Abridged Spieldauer: 2 hrs and 39 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-30-17 Herausgeber: HörbucHHamburg HHV GmbH Kategorien: Teens, Fiction & Literature Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Connis Eltern haben zu ihrem Hochzeitstag eine Wochenendreise gebucht - nur zu zweit, ganz romantisch in einem schicken Schlosshotel.

Title: Be True to Me Author: Adele Griffin Narrator: Eva Kaminsky, Laura Knight Keating Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature Publisher's Summary: From a two-time National Book Award finalist comes a riveting romantic drama about the gilded lives of the super-rich and the high price of fitting in. It's the summer of 1976 on Fire Island, where feathered hair and the Bicentennial celebration reign. Jean, a sometimes cruel, often insecure, and always envious rich girl, is accustomed to living in her glamorous older sister's shadow. So when Gil Burke, a handsome newcomer with uncertain ties to one of the most powerful families in the exclusive enclave of Sunken Haven, notices Jean - not her sister - Jean is smitten. Then Fritz, a girl from outside the gilded gates who humiliated Jean in the Island's tennis championship last year, falls for Gil herself. Soon the girls are competing for much more than a tennis trophy, with higher stakes than either of them can imagine. Through the alternating perspectives of Jean and Fritz, Adele Griffin captures the angst of feeling like you don't belong and the urgency of first love with masterly prose and a sharp wit. Perfect for fans of E. Lockhart's We Were Liars. Critic Reviews: "This is a glittery gem of a book. I was utterly transported to Fire Island - to endless summer days, girls in sundresses, that rush you get the first time you fall hard in love. I fell so hard in love with this book."

(Jenny Han, New York Times best-selling author of To All the Boys I've Loved Before) Members Reviews: I found the story quite compelling, and fought sleep to keep reading. Jean is determine to make this summer one of her best. She returns to Sunken Haven with a plan to win the heart of Gil, an island newcomer, and to reinvent herself. However, her plans are stymied, when Gil falls for Fritz, an island outsider. The tug of war over Gil fuels the rivalry, which meets a tragic ending. This story takes place during the summer of 1976. I was only 4 years old, but I fondly remember the bicentennial. Griffin peppered the story with just enough references to bring me back. I loved all the mentions of the music, the clothing, the hair, even the odd food we ate. It was a cool trip down memory lane. This story revolved around three characters: Jean, Gil, and Fritz. Both Jean and Gil were trying to reinvent themselves, while Fritz stayed true to her self. Gil had recently been accepted into his wealthy uncle's world. He was constantly battling between his desire to please his family and the desires of his heart. This resulted in Gil making some poor decisions, and both Jean and Fritz being hurt in the process. Jean was a spoiled, entitled, rich girl, who grabbed this opportunity to shine by both hands. She had a chance to enjoy a summer at Sunken Haven without the shadow of her sister looming over her, but Jean also made a myriad of poor decisions, and often tried to justify or dismiss them. I should have hated both Gil and Jean, but I didn't. Griffin did such a good job with these multidimensional characters, that I would get angry with them, but then later, I would empathize with them. Jean was oppressed being the "Other Custis Sister", and Gil was constantly being reminded that he could be written off if he dared any missteps. I cannot say that these circumstances excused their poor behavior, but it helped me understand their motivations. Fritz, on the other hand, was fantastic. She loved spending her summers with her best friend in Sunken Haven. She was confident in who she was and her abilities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Danny-Boyle-and-the-Underland-Audiobook/B014I3CLV0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Powerful Story This is a powerful, deeply moving story that shares the struggles of a young girl, âVâ, whose challenges go beyond typical teenage angst. She faces several crises at the same time: an injured dog, a mother whoâs too fond of drink, a father who is battling illness, and a friend who is avoiding her. Add to that the discovery of her emerging sexuality and Vâs plate is full. Her courage and strength of character as she comes to terms with all of this is inspiring. Donovanâs writing is sublime, often poetic, and filled with quirky, amusing surprises. So insightful Really enjoyed this very insightful novel of a teenage girl going through some very devastating events in her life. She is having to navigate without the help of her parents who are lost in their own problems. The author captures the thoughts and feelings of Virginia so perfectly as she faces these problems head on while also trying to protect and nurture her little sister, Baby Teeth. I love the author's descriptions and choice of words. She makes the ordinary so interesting, memorable, and laugh-out- loud funny. V's younger sister "Baby Teeth wedged several Raisinets up her preschool nose." Laughed so hard! Highly recommend this book. What a powerful reads! Dive is a truly poignant book about love and loss, friendship and family. The story revolves around Virginia, a 15yo girl who is going through one of the worst times of her life. And because personal tragedy is never enough, just about everything around her seems to be rising against her. Isn't that the way it always seems to be in life? This truly is what made the book so relevant to me as a reader, a person has been through their own fair share of loss and personal tragedy. Perhaps because of that, I read this a little differently. For me, it was the feeling of not being alone. This is a book that is extremely character-driven. We spend the book inside the head of Virginia, feeling her confusion, her pain, and even her moments of joy and happiness. Through her we get to know her parents, her siblings, and her friends. And every one of them is a very different person. Her mother is a bit of a drinker and that is getting worse by the day, putting Virginia in positions she should never have to be in at her age. Her father seems to be a bit on the oblivious even before he becomes so sick. Her brother Edward (and I love the random use of rude takes on his name throughout the book) is pretty apathetic most of the time. But it is her little sister, Baby Teeth, that shines. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Changing-Michael-Audiobook/B00VQHYJS0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Changing Michael Author: Jeff Schilling Narrator: William Coon Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-15 Publisher: Bancroft Press Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature Publisher's Summary: Matthew knows how things work. He's pretty much an expert. For example: friends. Friendship requires both give and take, and Matthew strongly prefers taking. The solution is close acquaintances - people who think you're their friend because you nod and act interested in whatever the hell they're talking about. School? Perfectly pleasant as long as you don't pay attention. Mom? Award yourself a point for each hands on hips or "young man." Wear her down until you can get what you want. The general rule: The less anyone knows about you, the better. But even someone as clever as Matthew needs practice. That's where Michael comes in. See, Michael doesn't get it. He's the kind of kid who comes up with the answer before the teacher. He's the kind of kid who asks questions. He's the kind of kid who still has the ratty, old backpack he should have thrown in someone's dumpster years ago. Consequently he's the kind of kid who gets the crap beaten out of him on a regular basis. So one day Matthew, seemingly out of the kindness of his heart, decides to help Michael out. Turn his life around. Teach him how to make his life as great as Matthew's. Before long Matthew is helping Michael mess with his NASCAR-loving stepfather. He's spreading rumors to convince the population of Alexander High School that Michael is a serious badass. He weaves his way into the lives of Michael's estranged dad, and even Chrissy, the half sister Michael never even knew he had. But what if Michael isn't grateful for all of Matthew's hard work? What if he actually likes who he is? Why the hell would he? And for that matter, why should Matthew even care? Changing Michael is an absorbing exploration into the head of one of the most fascinating high school characters since Holden Caulfield. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeff Schilling) Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:06:12 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Changing-Michael-Audiobook/B00VQHYJS0 thebookvoice.com 05:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dec I'm very torn as to how to rate this book. I think I would've liked it more as a 13-year-old; which is good- because I think that's the likely audience. Unfortunately, by the time I really got into the book and started to actually like the primary character, it ended...so I went from not particularly liking it to finally getting invested in the characters to it ending on me! The narrator did a great job. I don't know how they would do with a character that isn't a nasally young male, but he did a great job in this book. I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. Such a Smart, Witty Book! Narration - William Coon - Really Good He really nails the character of Matthew - who is one of the main characters and whose POV we are getting through the whole book. A snarky high school student (nailed it) as well as his characterizations for our geek Michael, his sister Chrissy, Flap, Gut and Michael's dad! Oh and we can't forget Wanda! Really great job and an enjoyable listen. This is a really smart, witty, well written, light and (at the same time) deep story. The main character Matthew is a pretty bright and snarky high school student who takes it upon himself to "help" Michael. Michael is a geek. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Fishing-Trip-Audiobook/B00UIBT8CC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Character development was a little shallow, but the story line was fun and moved quickly. The presentation was really, really good - the narrator did a nice job of distinguishing the various characters without being a distraction to the story. His voice was very smooth and enjoyable. There was also minimal profanity, which I appreciate. Great job! Great story!! I listened to this with my 15 year old son, it was a story we both enjoyed! Fun and thrilling! Great book If you like the hardy boys then you will love this book. Great storyline and cant wait to hear more stories from this series. Great Story! I really enjoyed "The Fishing Trip"! I was on the edge of my seat and had to stay up late to finish the story! Can't wait for the next book to come out in audio! Entertaining I particularly enjoyed the narrator. His delivery caused my focus to be on the story, not on him. In my mind, this is one of the best compliments that I can give. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Heartland-Farm-Paradies-fuer-Pferde-Audiobook/B00TYT83ZM Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> Titel: Heartland Farm.

Members Reviews: wonderful books My granddaughter just loves the series and now her sister is reading the books. Thank you very much for getting them here so fast. Just when you think things are fine... You know, I have been giving this series the benefit of the doubt since I began reading it. I put up with Ella, and man was she an annoying character to put up with. I remained calm as Ms. Pascal dragged out the Sam and Gaia storyline until I actually got fed up with it. I put up with Tom coming and going in and out of Gaia's life. I even put up with Ed and Heather attempting to have a relationship once agian. Now, I think as a reader I deserve to get some small measure of satisfaction from this series. I mean, Ms. Pascal didn't put her readers through all these trying and tedious storylines just so that we would end up with another trying and tedious storyline? But I think I have reached the breaking point when I say that Francine Pascal has gone too far. In this book, we readers (yet AGAIN) have to put up with another devastating disappointment as we watch Gaia yet AGAIN sabotage another relationship. And this realtionship is one that I really wish she wasn't ruining. I love Gaia and Ed together, and to read what they go through in this book is so annoying. I am so tired of Gaia finally getting a moment, and it is always just a moment, of peace and happiness in her life before something drastic happens. This book frustrated me more than anything. Even more than when Sam had sex with Ella. Even more than when Sam went through the whole Josh ordeal (which, might I remind you, lasted for at least 3 books). Even more than when Tom left Gaia without a reasonable explanation. And yes, even more than when Mary Moss was killed off. So, I have to say that, after having read this book, all I was left with was a bitter taste in my mouth. The only reason I suggest reading this book is to keep up with the story. But after this one, I am seriously thinking that the series isn't worth keeping up with. THROW US A BONE HERE! First of all I'd like to state that I love Fearless. I think Francine Pascall has done a bang up job holding on to our attention for this length of time but personally this book made me want to scream. I hate that any time Gaia gets close to someone they end up hurt (usually worse than hurt). I mean god she has to have something in her life or she really is going to commit suicide. As it stands Gaia offically has nothing. Zilch. Nada. She's lost everyone that she loves. After I read Ed and Gaia's romantic scene together and started to see Pascall's traditional downhill roller coaster of events for Gaia's happiness I immediately closed the book and it has been in my bookcase ever since. I wasn't going to torment myself for the next month until the next book came out to see if maybe, just maybe Gaia gets a shred of happiness. Theoretically (spelling?) speaking arthors shouldn't write books that make you wnat to refuse to read them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Heat-Audiobook/B00H58VIC4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Caution: This did not download for me I recently tried to purchase this book from my kindle and the book did not even download. I have tried repeatedly to try and download the full book but with no use. Be careful before purchasing this book. The information page states that this book is 227 pages long and my kindle did not even download the actual story just the information about the next book in the series. Overall the rest of the series has been entertaining but this fake download that still costs as much as the whole book is unacceptable. If I could rate a zero I would have. Four Stars like to read wonderful book My granddaughter just loves the series. And now her sister is reading the books, Thank you very much for getting them here so fast. Five Stars I love the whole series A little more violent then the previous books... Okay, okay, I know this is a series about a girl who has no fear whatsoever and has these awesome martial arts skills and kicks bad guy's butts, but really, the violence was a little over the top in _Heat_. The fight scenes are still... well written... but the injuries that Gaia's inflicting on her opponent are starting to get really graphically described. But, aside from that (and the ending of the book), my complaints are none. _Heat_ was in a way, one of the best books in the series because it really focuses on character development. Mary is totally fleshed out for the reader, Ella becomes more defined, and we finally get to learn a little bit more about Gaia's past. Francine Pascal really takes a step forward with this book and really develops it for her audience. Aside from some really intense fight scenes, _Heat_ is based mainly on character development. Plus, Gaia starts coming out of her shell. _Heat_ takes so many twists and unsuspected turns that it really can be an emotional read. Francine Pascal broke the regular routine and through in a lot of exciting surprises which was a nice change from the feel that the other books had. The Fearless series is a must read for action loving, young adults and I'd highly recommend it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Through-the-Lens-Audiobook/B00EYIP5TK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Being the fat twin makes things a little worse. Seventeen year old, Jessa Shelby has been all but ignored. Trimmed down, but not skinny like her sister, she has decided to make her mark in her final year in high school. Things begin anew the summer before her senior year when she makes friends with Ethan Hart, a boy with a twisted past, and Allie, his near celebrity status girlfriend, while taking pictures with her new prized possession. Hanging out with them opened her eyes to a lot of new possibilities including Josh Macon, whom she's secretly crushed on all through high school. No longer the 'fat girl', Josh now seems interested in her too. Long before the day comes to graduate, Jessa finds herself gasping for air. With her vision clouded from tears born of pain as the straps from her precious camera tighten around her throat, clarity sets in. They say that just before you die your life flashes before your eyes. And on the threshold of death claiming her, she finds that partially true. Her flash begins as if to explain just how she ended up on Death's door. With mere moments left, she has to wonder if trust had come at a very high price. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Shannon Dermott) Wed, 04 Sep 2013 21:16:08 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Through-the-Lens-Audiobook/B00EYIP5TK thebookvoice.com 08:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A refreshing, exciting, farily clean YA read. Would you listen to Through the Lens again? Why? I probably would listen to Through the Lens again. It was a somewhat light read. There is drama but it isn't full of heart-wrenching, soul-breaking turmoil. Yet, there is intrigue and excitement. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I really enjoyed being in Jessa's head. She's a pretty down to earth girl with a good sense of right and wrong. She is not the typical YA chic and it was refreshing. There is a bite of angst but she does not over dramatize every little detail of her life. On the other hand...I wish she would have had more conversation with Ethan. I didn't particularly like how the relationship between them developed. She was so meek and quiet that I didn't feel the connection until much later in the book. What about Erin Mallons performance did you like? Erin Mallon gave a good solid read. Proper inflection, enough emotion...she was never boring or droll, nor was she immature. Any additional comments? What I loved most about Through the Lens is the air of mystery, the thread of the unknown. Even though I pegged the situation fairly early on, I was still interested in how it would all play out. Shannon Dermott delivered a mature YA story with a level of responsibility and respect. Giving characters with strong moral convictions and pride. She dealt with a few touchy subjects with great maturity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Payback-Audiobook/B00H25XBWU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great concept The concept here is fantastic. Would you want to live your life with zero fear? How would it change the way you relate / react to the world? My daughter and I both enjoyed this book and I loved that it gave her (aged 12) a very powerful female protagonist. Having said that, some of said protagonist's behaviors are extreme. There is a nice cast of characters here to balance out her energy. We have both also read the next two in the series, "Sam" and "Run," and enjoyed them. I doubt, however, that we will continue the series to read the next 30 or so books. payback when a guy at school asks gaia to a party she reluctantly goes. is her social life looking up? she has friends, goes to parties and the end crowd just can't stand it. but when gaia's new friend is raped, it is up to gaia to find the creeps and turn them over to the authorities. can gaia never have a life like a normal teenager without complications? this was a decent book but not one of the better ones. that is why it only has four stars. Payback It gets really hard to write reviews about these books since I feel like I'm saying the same thing over and over again... but I really think these books are getting better. Gaia is sort of branching out away from her little self-centered and invisible life-style, and is finally starting to make different friends and try different things. It's kind of refreshing actually. Young girls are being raped...or they are not sure... Gaia starts to go to school parties, and even slightly fits in and flirts with one of the hottest boys at school. Heather and Sam have a major problem and Heather gets drunk and sleeps with this one guy...except she cant remember sayind yes so shes not sure if its rape. The next day a girl claims she was rape, and its up to Gaia to find out who... The whole rape thing was DISGUSTING, and so was the whole sex circle. I bet guys do that in real life, though. Its sick. But i like how Francine tells us EXACTLY what can happen in real life. She doesn't make things up. People really are raped out there and guys really do have sex circles behind our backs. There really are serial killers and drug dealers that kill to get their money. People really do these type of things, and this series is about a girl who try to change things in the world by kicking some twisted peoples butts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Gorgeous-Game-Audiobook/B00E0MO9IS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Powerful Would you listen to The Gorgeous Game again? Why? Vowing to fulfill a New Years resolution to try new genres and to try electronic media, I randomly picked The Gorgeous Game. I was surprised how quickly I became absorbed into the story. The narration was so realistic that I forgot at times that this was a piece of literature and not a person talking to me face to face. I was so impressed with this book and the narrator that I will certainly try more. I am glad I fulfilled this resolution this year. What did you like best about this story? I liked how current the story is. It is marketed for teens, but adults would like this as well. Have you listened to any of Romy Nordlingers other performances before? How does this one compare? I have never listened to this narrator before, but now I will search for more books with her as the narrator. She is a great actress and I love her voice. Serious subject, Bugs Bunny voice Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator shouldn't have used her Bugs Bunny voice for all the female POVs and her normal, good voice for the men. She should have just read the book in her normal voice all the way through. Too bad because I like the story so far. I'm half way through it. What didnt you like about Romy Nordlingers performance? Her false voice is fingernails on a blackboard. I keep wanting to stop listening, but I grind my teeth through it because the story itself is good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Koyal-Dark-Mango-Sweet-Audiobook/B00BOXDHZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: My favorite, but please change covers to kindle! One of my all time favorite books and authors. But please oh please change the covers for the kindle books. I want to gift them and the cover is the main intrigue for wanting to read them! Definately Mango Sweet December 15th, 2013 G. Copeland Kashmira Sheth has done a great job of creating this beautiful teen-love story in Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet. This book creates a wonderful picture of the fascinating culture and strict family dynamics. Although I thought this would be a great way to learn about an Indian family, I was not expecting to be pulled into the humid kitchen with Jeeta and her sisters on a warm afternoon. The descriptions of the gold beaded saris and beautiful beach bring the story to life. When Susan Collins wrote the electrifying Hunger Games trilogy, I believed I would never read a book with a better love story; I was extremely wrong. Although it is amazing that Peeta tries to give up his life to save Katnissâ, Neelâs love for Jeeta is even greater. Sheth has done a wonderful job of writing this young adult novel, and can assure you this is the best book I have read in years. Life for Jeeta is not ideal. Her mother constantly criticizes her for her sharp tongue and dark skin. Beside this, Jeeta lives in a one room apartment with six other family members, and minimal privacy. Throughout the book Jeetaâs mother tries to marry off Mohini and Namita (Jeetaâs older sister) and while keeping Jeeta on a very short leash. One day during the summer as Jeeta is at the swimming pool she meets a handsome boy. Although she is not supposed to converse with any boys, Jeeta talks to him, and realizes that she really likes him. Soon summer was over and Jeeta returns to school, where she meets a tall girl with a copper-colored complexion named Sarina. They soon become best friends and spend many evenings and weekends with each other. One evening Jeeta went to Sarinaâs house for an important dinner. She was very excited when she arrived, and was surprised to find out that Neel is Sarinaâs cousin! For the rest of the year they spend a lot of time together, but soon Sarina becomes tired of being the messenger. Jeeta will have to choose wisely as her friendship with Sarina runs thin and she receives a special marriage proposal. In this particular novel, the setting hugely influences the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Birdcatcher-Audiobook/B00AET2RPI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's basically about the Carter House girls going to a winter formal and then the other half is about DJ's Christmas vacation in Vegas. For me personally, the ending was the best part. It's somewhat unexpected. Another great one This is a good series of books for teens and especially our girls like to read this series. Can't go wrong with it. Too much viva-ing in Vegas This book pretty much is the downfall of Taylor. It's been foreshadowed since the day we met her in the first book. Seriously, this girl is totally uninhibited and just out to have a good time. However she goes for the extreme in whatever she does and doesn't seem to care about the consequences. I really could not stand her condescending attitude towards DJ just because she doesn't want to drink or anything else Taylor does. It had nothing to do with DJ being a Christian, she just knew that it wasn't healthy and it was dangerous. Yet Taylor keeps acting like she's the cool one and DJ is a freak for not joining her. Therefore DJ feels that she has to be always on the watch for Taylor and can't enjoy everything because she's like the baby sitter. The whole story just builds up until the ending when Taylor finally realizes that she has a problem. While I enjoyed this book, at the same time there's also a bit of a fantasy with the situation. Maybe it's just me, but there would have been no way, I would have been allowed to go to Las Veags at that age, l et alone be on my own while there. It just seemed very unrealistic for a bunch of 16 year old girls to be on their own around in that city and no one really questioning them. Also DJ's grandmother is REALLY getting on my nerves. Seriously, throughout the entire series all she cares about is looks and making the right connections instead of being concerned about the girls' safety. I cannot wait until she gets a reality check. Overall though, I have enjoyed this series and this one seems to be the edgiest one of all. I think it really speaks to teens and shows what they go through. Also I really like the cover, I think it's the first time I've ever seen fishnets on a Christian fiction book! I would recommend this book and the rest of the series for older teens. Fun Read I think this is a great YA coming of age series. I really like the way Melody Carlson includes life lessons in her story line. Very entertaining read. I was lost in another book about the Carter House Girls Okay, so in the fifth book of the Carter House Girls, we find that DJ is struggling with wanting to enter into a dating relationship with Conner, but doesn't want to hurt Hailey. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Midnight-Rescue-Audiobook/B003VPR4V4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Warm, heartfelt, sincere, compassionate, innocent; people who genuinely care about one another. Love shared between them. The kids she taught were in need of someone who loved them unconditionally like Christy did. Five Stars Catherine Marshall's iconic best seller! Great author, great book! NYT best seller. Such a wonderful story; I was happy to find this vintage ... Such a wonderful story; I was happy to find this vintage edition for my personal library as I have apparently given away my signed first. It is a must read for all believers and those unbelievers who seek the reality of Jesus. Catherine Marshall...Wife of the great minister Peter Marshall This was a gift for my Mother. Catherine wrote several great Christian books. Her first book, "A Man Called Peter", is based on her life with her husband. It should be read first or at least see the movie based on this book. This will give you a better feel for her life and works. Some readers feel that "Christy" was her best. All of her books should be a part of any Christian's library. I think all of her books are out of print, but are available thru Amazon. Excellent book This is a book I've read several times and needed a new one so I could continue reading it. It is very inspiring and so much of what she lived through my husband did too, growing up in the Smokey Mts. Gave me a great deal of insight. I would recommend it to anyone. I know a 14 year old girl who had it in her reading class. We read it for our book club and women in their 50's loved it too! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Ostrich-Boys-Audiobook/B0038EN6PG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: You never know what might happen... Before reading this book, I was more a graphic novel reader than a YA novel reader. I picked this book up on the recommendation of a few great reviews and I was very pleased. As other reviews and the book synopsis reveals, this is a story of three best friends as they deal with the death of their best friend, Ross. After going through some of the traditional anger stages, the three boys "kidnap" Ross's ashes and set off on a road trip to give Ross what the three boys believe to be a "proper funeral." From vandalism, to stowing away on a train, to theft and bungee jumping, this story has it all. Around each chapter, the boys do something you never would imagine. And in the end they discover things you would never believe. This is a great story that reminds me of Stand By Me and something better. What's better than Stand By Me, you ask? Ostrich Boys. I cannot speak highly enough for this amazing story. Five Stars Great Road Trips Are Always Worth It This book accomplishes a lot. First, It's a coming-of-age/loss-of-innocence story, wherein three 15-year-old friends take the ashes of their recently dead fourth friend on a journey they all need. Second, it's a book that reminds you that no matter what happens on a road trip, road trips are always worth it. Third, it's sickly funny. So, yeah, these three mates (that's British for 'friends') take their mate's (friend's) ashes. Take them. Out of the dead guy's sisters hands. Because they're angry that the funeral was just what a bunch of people who didn't care particularly for their friend made it. And they book for Scotland. They figure what they're doing is illegal, but don't quite know what crime it is. Things don't go smoothly, of course - otherwise you wouldn't have a book, would you? - and they find themselves off course, without money, hungry, and more interested in the girls on the train than the coming storm and their shelterless evening awaiting. Some of what you know is going to happen toward the end happens, but it has to happen, because some of it was pretty much inevitable. That's not the point, though, is it? It's the journey, after all. Road trips are always worth it. By the way, I'm a modern, enlightened dad, and want to make sure everybody's kids (but my own) are exposed to the most vile stuff imaginable, but be aware that the language in this book is like real fifteen year old boys talk, when adults aren't around. There's plenty of sex slang and meaningless curse words throughout. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Unearthly-Things-Audiobook/B06Y3LTB79 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's a retelling of Jane Eyre (which is pretty cool) with a hint of paranormal. Admittedly, I haven't read Jane Eyre (i'll go hide in the corner now) but if it's anything like this then I may dive into the classic and check it out. With that, this is a suspenseful and addicting read. I read it fairly quickly even though I have been extremely busy, and didn't want to put it down even when I had to. The plot will hook you the minute you start it. The story-line is very engrossing as well. It's about a teenager named Janie who is forced to live with the Rochester's following her parent's death. And it this isn't hard enough, some sinister things are going on within the house she lives in that question Janie's sanity. Sounds good, right? Well, it is! Normally, this isn't the type of book I read. I tend to stay away from retelling's because they are (normally) nothing like the original. Also, I don't find many that are good enough to hold my attention for long. This certainly changed after I read this novel though. At first, I picked up the book based on the cover (it's really cool) and then when I read the blurb I thought to myself "okay, this could be really interesting", and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I hope the author continues with these retelling's because I will devour them every time based on reading this one! This Book Would Be Perfect For + Fans of Young Adult Fiction (mystery and paranormal) + Fans of retelling's (and maybe even modern fairy tales) + Fans of the authors work More Gothic than Romance Unearthly Things was a very interesting take on Jane Eyre - the focus was much more on the Gothic aspects of the story - the mysterious house, the dark secrets, the supernatural and madness. The story used character names from Bronteâs novel, but did not always translate them to the same characters in this book. It was a very inventive retelling, with many suspenseful turns to keep the reader engaged. The storyâs heroine - Janie - is a Filipina surfer girl whoâs forced into living with rich socialites after the death of her parents. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/All-Heart-Audiobook/B01N4UU5JM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent Audio What other book might you compare All Heart to and why? All Heart is young adult equestrian fiction at it's finest. It has the romance and drama of popular young adult contemporary stories all seamlessly set in the world of horse racing. For that reason, I think it would appeal to a very wide range of people. Horse people will appreciate the horse side of things, and young adult romance fans will enjoy the romance and family drama. What does Elizabeth Phillips bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She makes July real. July has been relatable since I first read Stay the Distance and continued to be so when I listened to it on audio and then when I first read All Heart. But here she came alive. She was both more understandable and more frustrating than she had been before. Any additional comments? Elizabeth Phillips did an excellent job with this! She has a pleasant voice to listen to and I really appreciated that the voices for the characters were distinct enough that you could catch a character shift without being jarring. Which is often an issue for me with audio. Very happy with this performance. I was provided a copy of this by the author upon request through Audiobook Boom. All opinions expressed in this review are my own. A story of horses, racing, family, love, and growing up All Heart is story about horses and racing, family, love, and growing up. The complex characters and horses (characters themselves) make for an entertaining book which is sure to be loved by horse crazy girls of all ages.

He never told what went on behind closed doors. But this time, he can't remember. Things never have been easy for Steven. He accepts that, and just makes the best of things. He might not have parents or a happy home, or enough to eat most days, but at least he has a couple of loyal friends who stand by him and help out when they can. At least he has school, someplace he can go to escape the abuse. But just when he thought things couldn't get much worse, they did. Steven is accused of murder. But that isn't the worst part.

Don't Forget Steven is one of those stories that need to be shared so we have an awareness of these situations and young people such as Steven donât slip through the hole. Not all readers âgetâ the fact that great stories arenât always the happily ever after type. Author P.D. Workman is a skilled author prepared to take on complex stories worthy of her talent. I highly recommend this book. Be prepared- deep and amazing This story may not be for everyone. It is about a boy lost in the darker side of what can be- a victim. And it's touching and real. And so well written. What a great journey. Stereotypical and superficial This is an exceptionally difficult book to review because the story is heartbreaking and how do you rate a tragedy? This review is of the writing. I felt that the story line was very stereotypical and superficial. Very little was portrayed in any depth. The events were described and but not explored so I felt distanced from the situation as I would reading a brief newspaper article. This was most evident in Steven's friendships which felt like just by the way I know these two people not like friends who would have more intimate knowledge of each other. As there was little depth to their friendship any romance came across as false. @crushingcinders didn't live up to expectations The concept of the story was very good, but there was no character development at all. I never felt like I knew Stephen or any of the other characters as well. We weren't really shown any real emotion,except for Stephen getting in a few fights. It seemed like all that happened was he didn't want to go home; he went anyway; and showed up the next day beat up. His "friends" didn't seem to care about him much either. I really wanted to like this book, but it had no depth. It read as a summary description,not a real story. Took some unexpected twists and turns Definitely worth the read. Gut wrenching to know this goes on in our world. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Into-the-River-Audiobook/B01E45DYLS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the setting and the richness of ... The first few chapters grabbed and held my attention. I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the setting and the richness of the characters in these first few characters. When the man character moves away from home to the school in Auckland the whole book changed - and I guess that's the essence of the story. The boy's character is robbed of his family and home. It's not a happily ever after story but the entire story felt real and while it's not necessarily a feel-good experience I strongly recommend it. A wonderful tale that needs a sequel... As soon as I heard on CNN that this book was banned in public libraries in New Zealand, I ordered it. What advanced, liberal democratic country these days bans book? All it does it provide invaluable free publicity. "Into the River" is a quintessential coming of age story; describing the wonder of boyhood in a community that still has roots in shamanistic traditions. The boy's paradise is shattered when he goes off to school in the city and discovers the huge contradictors that society forces upon its youth in the name of education. Apparently, the book is banned due to its language and content, but there is nothing here that most youth don't encounter in some way or another, especially in an urban school setting. Indeed, I would think having these experiences articulated in such a good story would be therapeutic and educational for youths who face similar situations. And a good story it is. It kept my attention and was very believable, even though I have no first hand experience of the Maori experience. That said, I had some problems with the book. There are a lot of Maori terms which probably brings the story home to those who know the terminology, but for those of not in the know it took time to look up all the new words. Also, all the adults in this book--except for the ones in the Maori community--come across as one dimensional and exclusively negative. The tender relationship between Devon and Steph is the heart of the story, and I found myself wishing that in spite of the literary necessity of their traumatic and forced separation, that the two had found a way to continue their journey together. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Incredible-Adventures-of-Cinnamon-Girl-Audiobook/B01F94S8Q4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Unfortunately Alba's just finished Year 12 - so the only thing she can predict is that everything's going to change. Even so, Alba didn't see the end of the world coming.

Alba is about to discover that when it comes to her heart, there may not be infinite time to get things right.... Members Reviews: Unique, Nerdy, and Australian Alba has graduated from high school. Now it's her last summer with her friends, who are all moving away. But Alba doesn't want to go. She wants everything to stay the same. And then, the weirdos start showing up in her town claiming that the world is about to end and only this town will survive. I'm definitely not the right audience for this book. But, I'm sure high school students everywhere will be happy to have a protagonist who is thoroughly confused, and possibly terrified, about what's next after high school. There are lots of things that I liked about Cinnamon Girl, but all that "What am I doing with my life?" got really old for me. Things I Liked - * It's really really Australian. They have Christmas in the summer! And there was lots of great Aussie slang. It totally captured regular life in small-town Australia.... not that I've ever been there, but it just felt accurate. * Alba is a Real Girl. She isn't some skinny-mini, fashionista. Alba has her own interests and personal style. She's a real girl. Yay for real girls! * Alba is a nerd. She's into comics and drawing and baking. Alba is smart, and her dialogue is witty and full of comic book references. * The last 50 pages were intense. They kind of snuck up on me. I was surprised at how invested I had become in these characters. Things I Disliked - * It's normal Realistic Fiction. From the cover and title, I was expecting more elements of fantasy or sci-fi. But, no. * The build-up was slow and tedious. All that character development and internal conflict just about killed me. Can we get some plot in the first half please?! * So much angst! I'm definitely not the target audience... *** Disclosure: I was provided a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review *** Excellent, authentic YA I received a copy of this book through Net Galley. "It's way too much pressure, choosing someone, having someone else's life and whatnot mashed in with yours, when you don't even know what you're doing with your own stuff." I started out think this book was charming and fairly enjoyable but nothing really special. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Hot-Pterodactyl-Boyfriend-Audiobook/B01BVW4FOM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After all, everybody wants him! Sheils is very pleased with her perfectly controlled life (controlling others while she's at it). She's smart, powerful, the student body chair, and she even has a loving boyfriend. What more could a girl ask for? But everything changes when the first-ever interspecies transfer student, a pterodactyl named Pyke, enrolls at her school. There's something about him - something primal - that causes the students to lose control whenever he's around. Even Sheils, the seemingly perfect self-confident girl that she is, can't keep her mind off of him, despite her doting boyfriend and despite the fact that Pyke immediately starts dating Jocelyn, the school's fastest runner who Sheils has always discounted as a nobody. Pyke, hugely popular in a school whose motto is to embrace differences, is asked to join a band, and when his band plays at the Autumn Whirl dance, his preternatural shrieking music sends everyone into a literal frenzy. No one can remember what happened the next day, but Shiels learns that she danced far too long with Pyke, her nose has turned purple, and she may have done something with her boyfriend that she shouldn't have. Who's in control now? Hilarious and relatable (despite the dinosaur), Hot Pterodactyl Boyfriend is about a teen who must come to terms with not being in control of all things at all times, break free of her mundane life, discover who her true self is, and, oh, finding out that going primal isn't always a bad thing. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Alan Cumyn) Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:18:44 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Hot-Pterodactyl-Boyfriend-Audiobook/B01BVW4FOM thebookvoice.com 10:09:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Evil Star Author: Anthony Horowitz Narrator: Paul Panting Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-14 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature Publisher's Summary: Follow the continuing adventures of 14-year-old Matt Freeman in this unabridged reading by Paul Panting. Matt thinks his days of battling evil are over after his experiences at Raven's Gate. But soon he is pulled into another horrifying adventure when he discovers a second gate exists. Matt and his friend Richard travel to Peru and, assisted by a secret organisation known as the Nexus, follow a series of clues to the gate's whereabouts. But there is a traitor in the Nexus.... Richard is kidnapped, but Matt escapes with the help of Pablo, a local boy. The pair travel to the Nazca desert and Matt realizes the horrifying truth: the Nazca lines are the second gate - and it is about to open. But, this time, will he have the strength to prevent it? Critic Reviews: "Matt Freeman's adventures eclipse even those of the formidable Alex Rider." (The Scotsman) "Though this is the second instalment in this series, new readers will catch on quickly. The plot turns and emotional relationships will more than satisfy thrill seekers, especially those already into Horowitz's Alex Rider series. A must-have for reluctant, middle-grade boys."

(School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Exciting adventure! Would you listen to Evil Star again? Why? Absolutely! It was beautifully narrated and a gripping story from start to finish What was one of the most memorable moments of Evil Star? All of the scenes in the towns and wilderness of Peru - I loved getting a feel for Cusco, Lima and Nazca What does Paul Panting bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Excellent pacing and expression. His voice helped to accentuate certain parts of the story and brought the characters accents and intonation to life. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There were plenty of moments that gripped me and had me fascinated, but not 'moved' as such Excellent adventure story for young people An excellent sequel to Ravens' Gate. This adventure continues where Ravens' Gate left off. Starts off in York England and finishes in Peru. Lots of scary scenes and high adventure. My 10 year old really enjoyed it. Just scary enough without going too far. Good story, good narration but. Really enjoyed it, however musical additions (music/soundbites) weren't necessary between each chapter and section. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Chapel-Wars-Audiobook/B00K8BW9S2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The dialogue between Holly and Dax is amazing. I'm pretty much in love with them as ... This book will take you on a journey of discovery. It's full of real, relatable, non-cliche characters and has a romance that will sweep you off your feet. The dialogue between Holly and Dax is amazing. I'm pretty much in love with them as characters. (And for any writers out there: this book will teach you incredible things about voice, using setting as a sort-of character, and the idea of having a focus object in your book.) Fun story I liked this novel but I was expecting more rivalry between the hero and heroine based on the title. They are pretty much together from the get go. Also I think the novel could have used more character development. Rating: PG to PG-13 Signature Leavitt Chapel Wars was, like all Leavitt books, hilarious. I love her humor which is ever present. But like her other books, she also touches upon issues that go a little deeper. In Chapel Wars she addresses grief, divorce, first love and hope. I love all the Vegas references and it's nice to know that normality exists beyond all the stereo types. Loved this book and felt myself really connecting with Holly, having had parents divorce in my late teens. The relationship between Dax and Holly was sweet and had me remembering my first love, oh, and that KISS! Loved this one! Such a cute read! I've never read a YA set in Las Vegas and it felt like it was one of the characters too! Loss, love, and new beginnings... One doesn't typically associate tradition and permanence with Las Vegas. But just off the famous strip renowned for neon lights, gambling, and Elvis impersonators, Holly found a haven of just that in her grandfather's long-running wedding chapel. The Rose of Sharon chapel proudly eschewed the kitsch that fueled Vegas's 24/7, year-round wedding industry, determined to focus on what matters most when it comes to weddings -- the age-old tradition of joining two lives in marriage and the joy of playing a part in a couple's real-life (and hopefully lasting) romance. The chapel becomes an even more critical anchor in her life with her parents' divorce -- a split with no apparent reason, but one that shakes Holly's faith in truths she always thought she knew. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Blood-Red-Road-Audiobook/B00J9PWFV4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I can overlook the colloquial tone, which bothered some folks and does get trying after awhile, but that's why you download a sample first so you can see the writing style. What bothered me more were the flat characters (even the protagonist), lackluster romantic interest, and plot holes you could drive a truck through. How is the deaf kid talking in a post-apocalypse world? (We teach talking using computer technology to he deaf so they can visualize the sounds they can't hear.). Crows are about as smart as a human child, but even so a crow is not going to be able to understand that you want it to go back locate a passing acquaintance. It's unlikely that a bird would know that person's name...what, were introductions made? Also, If you travel for a certain number of days, and then send crow back to get reinforcements, then those reinforcements also have to travel said number of days (not to mention time spent locating them) to reach you. The timing was totally off for them to arrive in the nick of time (and yeah, you see that one coming a million miles away). It was at this point I just gave up, and usually I am pretty stubborn about finishing books that are meh. I just couldn't make myself care about any of these characters and it wasn't worth wading through the writing style to see where they ended up. Not a bad read, but... I love YA dystopian fiction so I was very excited to read Blood Red Road. However, I was put off in the very first chapter because it was so difficult to read it. I nearly put it down. The misspellings (which were done on purpose) were a little annoying, but I got over that pretty quickly since the author's goal was to show the dialect in Saba's world. What really grated my nerves was the lack of quotation marks around spoken dialogue. This made it tough for me to get through because everything, including dialogue between characters, is written in paragraph format so it all just runs together. This is a writing style that I have never come across before. Eventually I got used to it, but I still didn't care for it. If not for that, I would have given it three stars. The story was okay. I found it to be a bit slow at times, but there were interesting parts as well. Parts of it (mainly the giant man-eating worms) could be considered fantasy, which seemed a little out of place since this is just supposed to be a post-apocalyptic version of the real world. Though not really relevant to the story, I would have liked more backstory on the "wreckers" (which is what the characters call the people who lived in today's world before everything went to hell). Why do they call them the wreckers? What happened to them? Was the apocalypse caused by humans or natural forces? How long ago was it? How did some people manage to survive? All of this could have been summed up nicely in a few paragraphs. As I said, knowing these things wouldn't change the story, but it would certainly make it feel more complete (at least for me) to know how the world went from a civilized society to the lawless environment that Saba now lives in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Liar-Audiobook/B00H58U95G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Pascal is an outstanding writer and Gaia is a phenomenal character... but i hate how short each book is for the price. I still adore the series so far and I am more than happy about the purchase! The plot is artfully pieced together with action and emotion and I love every page! The only thing that has kept me from giving it the fifth star is, as I mentioned, its length. Buy it, read it, love it, but be advised that chapters are short and you will have little more of a hold on the big picture on the final page than when you started the book. Happy reading! :) Were are we and were are we going! Of all the 10 books in the series this book, leaves a lot to be desired. On a whole the book is slow and forgetable. Honestly, the last 9 books I breezed though and was sad to see them end. While with this book I had to forced myself to read it, just so that I wouldn't miss informaton I would need for future books. Here are some things that bothered me. 0. I could not find a plot for the book. 1. Gaia does a lot of un-Gaia like things. Such as invasion of privacy, this is so unlike Gaia because of the way Gaia fanatical about her privacy. Ie remember the truth or dare game, she refused to pick truth so she would not have to answer questions, about her life. But then Gaia ended the game after Mary dared her to tell her a truth. 2. After 9 books it is a let down when there is little fighting, hell there wasn't even stragey or insight provided in this book. 3. Tom Moore is still sulking in the shadows, but is becoming less clueless 4. Loki is doing un-Loki type things. 5. There was so many sub and contributing plot lines, that it caused the book to lack focus. IE. Heather's sister, Ed's sisters engagement, the Ed Heather realationship. George's incorrect suspicions about Ella, Ella's obsession with Sam, Sam's guilt,Tom Moore thoughts on Sam, Tom's need to go after Loki, Loki feelings for Ella. Everyone in this book has an incorrect view of what is really going on around them. 6. I am still confused about Loki having Mary and her aunt killed during book 8, yet neither Tom or George has connected the deaths as Loki's doing. (What suprises me even more is that although, Gaia has been trained in all kind of arts, she could not trace her father using the computer. But Mary's unpaid Libraian Aunt, made little work of locating Tom Moore's apartment in NYC.) But on a whole the only way this book could redeem itself is that in all the stuff that happened there is a major plot point. Loved it! I've been trying to track down this book for ages and it was definitely worth the wait. Gaia is a character who tolerates no bull. She is amazingly strong but has a hard time trusting others and is filled with rage and hurt when betrayed. This book is another amazing addition to the fearless series Omfg!!! I love your writing!! These books are perfect. PERFECT. I just wish Gaia and Sam would get together and everyone would just spill their secrets Great series for older teens/adults Lots of action in this series. It's got a strong lead female character who doesn't need a man to save the day. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Trust-Audiobook/B00HDGBKH6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great series for older teens I love this series, I love a strong female lead character. Gaia has it all. I wish the whole series came in bundles with three books in one like the first three bundles do. Warning, 36 book series, no one told me before I got sucked in to Gaia's life! Great Book I bought this book for my daughter. She loves to read and loves this series. She finishes them so fast, it seems like I am buying them every other day. I would recommend this book and series. 'Fearless' Winner Francine Pascal has done it again!Fearless #11 was definitley a hit!I can't imagine how her phenomenonously creative mind works. The talent she shows throughout these books is AMAZING! So anyway,what's the scoop?Well in the early on in the book, Ella (Gaia's evil step-mother) insults Gaia,and the argument escalates into a fight.Gaia is injured,but not worse than a few bruises.This (among other things) leads Loki to realize Ella is doing the oppisite of what she was hired to do.And through Gaia's distress she calls on Loki(Dear,ol' "Uncle Oliver")for help which he is absolutely delighted about.... Meanwhile,Heather and Ed are still "together"(?).While their relationship is heading for questional step ahead,both are unsure of what their oppurtunities are.Heather HAS broken up with Sam! (WAHHH-OOO! ) Then we have Sam.(sigh)Sam is loathing himself over his and Ella's affair,and his break-up with Heather;but regains a bit of faith,and starts forming a new plan for his the rebuilding of his life,all in hopes of ending up with Gaia. And Tom Moore has (fortunatley!) been able to spy on Gaia(and Ella,for that matter...).Once he sees Sam with Ella so frequently he begins to wonder how trustworthy Sam Moon actually is....... Then,he bumbs into Ella,who was all over him,figuring he was her lover,(his brother),Loki.Now,I wonder if Tom will consider pulling this stunt again,seeing as how he's r-i-s-k-y...Hm...... The cool part is,Tom "met up" with Gaia ever so briefly and told her,"Gaia,it's me.I love you,and-",never being able to finish his sentence. So,in a nutshell: Gaia has fallen in Loki's powers,agreeing to flee the city/state/country-whatever a.s.a.p.When she finds her dad after ALL these years,she wants to figure out his reason for seeking her.Tom's on to Ella,and so is Loki,who will most likely(okay,it's confirmed that he WILL do this)hire a hit on Ella to have her killed.But she continues to stalk Sam,who is DEVASTATED to learn that Gaia knows about their affair,but has a ray of hope.Heather and Ed are a big question-mark(?) for now,but I think they'll end up going out for real in the end. ALL in all,Fearless #12: KILLER will be one to watch out for,FOR SURE! ;) (-Liz,Unofficial Amazon Reviewer) Excellent... "Trust" is the eleventh instalment in Francine Pascal's Fearless series. Gaia Moore, the girl without the ability to feel fear, is struggling to come to terms with the relationship between her thirty-something foster mother Ella and Sam Moon, the boy Gaia secretly loves. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Lessons-in-Love-Audiobook/B00GNDBN8G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This is a wonderful, engaging and well crafted story This is a wonderful, engaging and well crafted story. It's incredibly well paced and you can't help but feel an emotional connection to the characters and what they face. The revelations about the characters, where they're heading, where they've come from and what could possibly come next for them are well timed and really well executed. Nothing is over or under played, it hits all the right notes! All in all, this is a wonderful book and I'll be happy to continue reading! However, I was surprised at the amount of typos within the book. This did not detract from the story or quality of writing but it was hard to consider this a polished work... Loved it! **SPOILERS** Pretty darn awesome for a sequel. I'm still thinking it gave us more questions than answers, but I'm okay with that, because I'm definitely eager to read the third book. The twist with Mable was really unexpected, but between that and Chris's gayness, I love how it deals with real-life issues, more so even than most YA books. It's refreshing. Love is juggling way too many guys, and please tell me I wasn't the only one scared of an awkward Love/Chris hookup? Creepyness. I'm still hopelessly in love with the Love/Jacob pairing, but I don't like the way it seems to be heading. Charlie and Henry are just way too many added [boring] complications. JACOB FTW! I'm still totally intrigued by the story of her mother, and I want answers probably almost as much as Love does. We got some info here, but I still want the whole story, and I hope Emily Franklin doesn't just give us some info per book, I want the whole story in a big chunk! I want to know what happens to Mable. And the personal ad? Haha, crazy stuff! Really, can't wait to get my hands on Love from London. Lemme just tell you, I hate, hhhatte series... I loved this book. Like seriously. It was addicting. Just as its prior book, this one was just as cute and witty and crazy. Can't wait for the next one! A wonderful sequel. This is the second book in the series by Emily Franklin. The first book was The Principles of Love. I recommend reading the first book before reading this one. Anyways, this book starts out after the summer happened so there's about 3 months of time we don't get to read about in detail. We get a summary of what happened before Love left for her internship for the summer. I really enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait until the third book comes out in march 2006. Peice, Love, and Happiness This book was amazing in my opinion. Some may disagree but I haven't talked to many others. This book was the second sentiment to Love. I enjoy reading about her and her troubles. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Rebel-Audiobook/B00H206TS8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Book Review I bought this book for my daughter and she absolutely loved it. She loves to read and goes through books nearly ever couple of weeks. This is a great book and I (and she) would recommend it. FANTASTIC It was an amazing book but I'm not sure it was 8 or 9 dollars for 217 pages. But otherwise it was good. Rebel It was a good book with a great story. I could not put it down it was just that good Pretty good... Rebel is the seventh book in Francine Pascal's `Fearless' Series. Gaia Moore is seventeen and, as the title would suggest, is unable to feel fear. When Gaia, Mary and Ed decide to play truth and dare, Gaia shows the lengths she will go to not to reveal the truth. Attempting to make her divulge something about her past, Mary and Ed invent increasingly dangerous dares but soon discover that Gaia will do anything they suggest. Things get worse when Mary is contacted by her ex-dealer. She owes him five hundred dollars and he's given her twenty-four hours to pay up... One good thing about this book is how different it is to most of the other teen books around. This was the first Fearless title I've read so far, so I can't tell you how it compares to the others, but the characters are realistic and the book is action-packed and fast paced. I'm not sure I'll be reading any future titles in the series - to be honest, I just don't like the characters very much, although that may be due to the fact that I haven't read any of the previous books. Still, this wasn't bad and I read it through in a couple of hours. Overall, four stars and I recommend it to all fans of the Fearless series. very good very different from other teen books i've read(thank god). the author's writing style = wow.sometimes hilarious. realistic characters with realistic problems.a little extreme, but acceptable. realistic dialogues.people do swear sometimes.finally, the differences between talking to parents and talking to friends are evident. no more focusing on hurl-inducing teens constantly falling for every cute boy/girl in sight and/or driving themselves crazy over some love problems as if they have no more important things to think about(pphhtt!it's not like they're going to get married any time soon). but i think fear's not something that is formed genetically.genetically mutated is not the scientifically acceptable excuse for Gaia's inability to feel fear. but then again it is only a book. too many secret agents, gangsters, psychos and weirdos waltzing around(heather included).It seems like new york are dominated by these freaks. almost in desperate need of some new very normal characters with no cronic physical/mental-imparity, no study/beauty/drug-obsession, etc.just to remind the reader that gaia is still on planet earth. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Formerly-Shark-Girl-Audiobook/B00CPP8VS6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/497/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.
