Title: Orphan Train Girl Subtitle: The Young Readers' Edition of Orphan Train Author: Christina Baker Kline, Sarah Thompson Narrator: Jessica Almasy Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: This young listeners' edition of Christina Baker Kline's New York Times best-selling novel Orphan Train follows a young foster girl who forms an unlikely bond with a 91-year-old woman. Adapted and condensed for a young audience, Orphan Train Girl includes an author's note. Molly Ayer has been in foster care since she was eight years old. Most of the time, Molly knows it's her attitude that's the problem, but after being shipped from one family to another, she's had her fair share of adults treating her like an inconvenience. So when Molly's forced to help an elderly woman clean out her attic for community service, Molly is wary. Just another adult to treat her like a troublemaker. But from the very moment they meet, Molly realizes that Vivian, a well-off 91-year-old, isn't like any of the adults she's encountered before. Vivian asks Molly questions about her life and actually listens when Molly responds. Molly soon sees they have more in common than she thought. Vivian was once an orphan, too - an Irish immigrant to New York City who was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children - and she can understand, better than anyone else, the emotional binds that have been making Molly's life so hard. Together, they not only clear boxes of past mementos from Vivian's attic, but forge a path of friendship, forgiveness, and new beginnings for their future. Members Reviews: Highly recommend for youngsters. I liked it a lot. My sister had recommended the adult version. I purchased this for a granddaughter and read it before gifting.

Wel written. An easy read. Words cannot express. ...... So awesome! Five Stars Good book

Looking out the window, he spies landing on his roof St. Nicholas in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. The saint enters the house through the chimney. The man watches Nicholas filling the children's stockings hanging by the fire. They share a conspiratorial moment before the saint bounds up the chimney again. As he flies away, Nicholas wishes everyone a happy Christmas. (P)2009 Alpha DVD LLC Members Reviews: Classic ruined by Narrater . . . I don't doubt the narrator would be great reading some stories but not this one . . . This is the worst redition of this classic I have ever heard . . . He ruins this classic Christmas . . . I would suggest that you listen before you play it for others . . . especially young ones . . . This story should be read in a happy lighthearted manner not they way it is . . . The rating is solely for the narration . . . OK... The way this was read it almost sounded sinister in the beginning, but maybe it was just me. Suggest you have a sample listen first, before you play it for very young ones. Traditions This is a wonderful tradition to start. It reminds me of this crusty old man who would climb on the roof every Christmas so his boys would think Santa was real. Great poem poor narration Narration is very robotic, brings no life to this classic poem. Do not recommend this purchase.

Ellie's Story Audiobook by W. Bruce Cameron

Bruce Cameron Narrator: Ann Marie Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Ellie is a very special dog with a very important purpose. From puppyhood, Ellie has been trained as a search-and-rescue dog. She can track down a lost child in a forest or an injured victim under a fallen building. She finds people. She saves them. It's what she was meant to do. But Ellie must do more. Her handlers - widowed Jakob, lonely Maya - need her, too. People can be lost in many ways, and to do the job she was born to do, Ellie needs to find a way to save the people she loves best. Adapted from the beloved New York Times best-selling novel A Dog's Purpose, Ellie's Story is an inspiring tale for young animal lovers. Critic Reviews: "A satisfying and illuminating tale." ( Kirkus) Members Reviews: Basically an excerpt from A Dog's Purpose SPOILER ALERT! While I loved the story "A Dog's Purpose" this is just basically a rehash of the story of Ellie and her training to be a search and rescue dog. Only buy this book if you are afraid of how your kids will react to the death scenes in "a Dog's Purpose". There are no dogs dying in this book, but Ellie does find some bodies in an earthquake area. The way it is listed here, you are made to believe this is actually a continuation of the series, but it really isn't. I would have listened to "A Dog's Purpose" again if I'd known this was simply going to be an excerpt from that book. I'm expecting "Bailey's Story" to be pretty much the same. One reviewer on Amazon didn't like the narrator, but I thought she did a great job of sounding like a puppy and then sounding less so as Ellie got older. It was not bad, but I got the "been there, done that" feeling while reading this book, and actually wondered if they had simply re-labeled "A Dog's Purpose". It's kindof like a recording artist putting out another album with most of the same songs as their first successful album and riding the waves of that first success while disappointing fans with nothing new. W. Bruce Cameron has done it again Again another great listen. Excellent interpretation of a dog's perspective. The narration brought considerable emotional content to the story and made you feel you were right there. Wonderful story This is our first audiobook as a family and it was a great one to introduce to the kids (13, 11, 10, 9 year olds). Anyone that loves dogs should get this book. What a beautiful story! A heartwarming story of a German Shepherd puppy who learns what life is all about. The bond between humans and animals are special and is what makes the heart happy. Anyone who listens or reads this one will no doubt have a huge smile on their face, happy tears and a need to hug their pet. You won't regret this one at all. ("")("") 5 star I loved it! It was one of the most best books ive read at all in my life! What a great narrorator must i add too. Thank you W. Bruce Cameron!!

Title: Heidi (AmazonClassics Edition) Author: Johanna Spyri Narrator: Emily Sutton-Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Filled with the power of love and the beauty of nature, Heidi is a lyrical tale about a little girl sent to live in the mountains of the Swiss Alps with her grandfather. A grumpy recluse, her grandfather has isolated himself from his fellow townspeople and his church. In very little time, Heidi warms his heart; and she quickly charms the whole town and makes new friends, including young Peter, the goatherd. But when Heidi is sent away again to care for a young girl her own age, she must grow wise beyond her years, learning invaluable lessons that she will impart to others to better their lives. In her best-known book, Johanna Spyri portrays how a child's radiant joy and simple faith can transform the world around her. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds. Revised edition: Previously published as Heidi, this edition of Heidi (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions. Members Reviews: Beware of this travesty- it's dull and stilted! Beware, the beauty of literature is not in this edition! THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE PUFFIN IN BLOOM EDITION ONLY. Heidi is such an awesome story, the translation by Helen Dole reads so beautifully and engages the reader to follow closely along, to interact and enter into the adventure. This book has short sentences, as if to hand feed the reader so that they don't need to pay attention or engage. In other words- it's a dumbed-down translation!! Please don't deprive young readers of good literature! There is a place for simplified versions of books BUT that should be clear when purchasing that it isn't the original version and writing has been altered. This book changes the names of characters too. It is a travesty!! So, if all you want is a "pretty" cover - fine, but even the inside illustrations aren't good - it saddened me and I sent it back. Thank you, Amazon for ease of returns. Please be aware that Amazon sells different editions translated differently. Perhaps you'll find a new edition that is better than this one. I'm very happy with the used copy I found on Amazon with a copy write date of 1945. The illustrations are wonderful and the language is beautiful, and the names are not Americanized. The Puffin in Bloom edition has a character named Barbie. Another Place and Time This is a lovely story about family and redemption. Spyri does a wonderful job of bringing the Alps to life, so much so, you can almost feel the brisk snowy air and hear the wind whispering through the trees. It's a sweet little fantasy, and well loved by generations for a good reason. I read it as a child and revisited it recently, and it was just as I remembered it after 40 some years, even better in fact because I appreciate the deeper themes so much better. Human nature is one thing that doesn't change, and the story of Heidi gives a lot of talking points for parents and grandparents to share with children, probably the 9 to 11 year old crowd, both boys and girls. For the adult crowd, it's a gem of a story to bring us to another place and time, about as far from this crazy, hectic life as is possible.

Forever changed by the experience, Logan, Miles, Philip, and Daisy have returned to their regular lives. But when presented with the chance to go on tour to promote the new candy, each has a very different reason for hitting the road. The stakes are a lot higher than they thought, however, and a decades-old secret is revealed. In this action-packed adventure, the four friends embark on a journey full of hidden treasures, imaginary worlds, rivers of light, a map of awe, a sky of many colors, and one very small cat who thinks he's a dog. Members Reviews: Loved it! We adore the Candymaker books! Our 10, 8, and even 6 year old were captivated by the story! The characters are great. The plot is intricate and intriguing. The experience is full of innocence and wonder! Almost plausible fun If youre a stickler for feasible fiction, this book may tick you off. Most of the time, the quirky exciting things seem extremely imaginative, but overall or vaguely plausible. A couple of instances are just dumb; but there werent enough to ruin the book. I still loved it. My kids loved it! They said it wasn't as good as the original, but they still highly recommend it! This was an amazing book! This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read! It had so many twists and turns and hooks I couldn't stop reading it. One of my favorite things about it is how much detail it has. I strongly recommend this book to everyone that loves candy, mystery, magic, and technology. If you have a sweet tooth then this is the book for you!!!!! A great book for anyone who likes Adventure, candy, road trips, and anything sweet and exciting

Daphne's lucky enough to get Snow White for a teacher - she loves little people - but poor Sabrina's stuck with Mr. Grumpner and a class of mildly psychotic sixth graders. When Mr. Grumpner is found hanging in a spider's web, it is up to the Grimms to find the Everafter who did it. If only Sabrina can get over her distrust of all fairy-tale folk. But how can she trust those who just might be responsible for the disappearance of her parents? ©2000 Sara Sefchovich (P)2004 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: Tied with the Riordan books as son's favorites What made the experience of listening to The Sisters Grimm the most enjoyable? My son can't put these books down, and eagerly waited for the next installment. Other than the Riordan series, I haven't seen him that anxious to get the next book downloaded. What did you like best about this story? All of the allusions to fairy tales and other well-known stories. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? My 12 year old came close -- certainly was anxious each evening (our time to listen to books on tape) to get this playing. Any additional comments? From an adult perspective I didn't love this series as much as my son -- but I would definitely recommend it to kids in his age group. I'm hooked now! This is the second book in this series and I am hooked on them now. I know that they are kids books, but they are enjoyable and fun. NOTHING BUT GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did you love best about The Sisters Grimm? I loved the adventure and mystery and how Daphne reacts to how Sabrina does things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What other book might you compare The Sisters Grimm to and why? I have nothing to compare to this book BECAUSE it was just down right AWSOME!!!!!! What does L. J. Ganser bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brought excitement and lots of fun and also enthusiasm THE BOOK!!!!!! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? YES IT WAS I COULDN'T EVEN THINK OF NOT LISTENING FOR 1 MINUTE. Any additional comments? THIS IS A GREAT BOOK AND YOU SHOULD READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fairy Tales come to life In this book two sisters meet fairy tale characters and find out that they are not always how the story portrays them. The girls are funny and brave. They don't always do what they are told to do. This is a fun book for a tween or grown-up with a playful spirit. Very funny!! This is book 2, start with The Fairy Tales Detectives: The Sisters Grimm as book 1. You have got to listen to these with your kids. Beware! This story ends abruptly without a resolution. You MUST get The Problem Child: The Sisters Grimm to have on hand. You won't be able to stop! These are so punk rock! (you'll get this comment once you start the series)

Members Reviews: Listening to the book and you'll scream NO.... Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend the book as the book is well written and tends to have you guessing as to what will happen next What was one of the most memorable moments of A King's Ransom? When Eramus finally showed emotion at the lost of friend Mr. Mcintier Which character as performed by David Pittu was your favorite? Dan has become my favorite, he is now torn between doing what is right and what needs to be done. With the formula of the serum in his head he slowly collects the parts needed to reform the serum. But he is also struggling how to let the family know it needs to used. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The loss of William Mcintier Any additional comments?

I am ready for the next book in the series. card code? Would you consider the audio edition of A King's Ransom to be better than the print version? no because i thought this would come with the card code and it didnt so i am disappointed about it Not just for young adults! I began listening to this series when my friends little boy asked me to follow along with him. This last installment did not disappoint although familiarity may breed a bit of contempt as we expect every book to be as good or better than the last. This comes close.

David is what keeps me coming back for another volume in the series. always like the cobbras. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? i always laugh but for a older, listener i think some of the jokes are for the older crowd or parents

Title: Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain Subtitle: Please Don't Tell My Parents Series #1 Author: Richard Roberts Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1500 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Penelope Akk wants to be a superhero. She's got superhero parents. She's got the ultimate mad science power, filling her life with crazy gadgets that even she doesn't understand. She has two superpowered best friends. In middle school the line between good and evil looks clear. In real life nothing is that clear. All it takes is one hero's sidekick picking a fight, and Penny and her friends are labeled supervillains. In the process Penny learns a hard lesson about villainy: She's good at it. Criminal masterminds, heroes in power armor, bottles of dragon blood, alien war drones, shape-shifters, and ghosts - no matter what the superpowered world throws at her, Penny and her friends come out on top. They have to. If she can keep winning, maybe she can clear her name before her mom and dad find out. Members Reviews: If This was a Jury, I'd be the Holdout... I seem to be alone in my assessment of this book. But I found it totally lacking in fully realized characters that I had to put in my own preconceived attributes of teenagers and comic book superheroes. I needed more reality, more descriptions of the world they live in. Almost everything was just told instead of shown. We got characters telling about the super heroes and villains without actually being in the story. And the author goes to great lengths to describe the workings and mechanisms of the devices that I found to be so dull because it was like, who cares if the altenator circuit thing doesn't have the proper wires? That's not the reality that is needed. To be fair, I admit to stopping listening a bit more than halfway through so maybe it really picked up later, but I just couldn't wait. And, by the way, I enjoy YA series with superheroes like Ex-Heroes, but those were well-written, clearly establishing the world that these well-defined characters lived in. Sorry, it's just that with a title so compelling, the book really disappointed. Fun for the whole family So I picked up this book when it was on sale on audible because my son was wanting to listen to a book. As it turns out we ended up spending the better part of every night for a full week sitting on the couch and listening to this wonderful book together. My son isn't a big 'reader' but this has encouraged him to explore books more. As for me, I loved it as well. It was well written and fun. It is fast paced with interesting characters and comic heroes. I am a big fan of comics and super heroes and have been for years. This scratched the itch perfectly and had the added bonus of bringing my son and I closer together. I HIGHLY recommend this book and we can't wait for the next two to come to Audible! Thank you Richard Roberts! An amazing book with bad-ass characters. I don't generally like children books, but this book is so well written that it would have to be my second favorite book. Audible needs to please release numbers 2 and 3 for this series. loved it goofy, zany, funny. loved the whole book and idea behind it. altho, i really do feel so sorry for penny. i wish i could go into details but anything i say will spoil some part and this book is too good to do that to. you'll either have to listen to it or go get a hard copy to read.

Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group Members Reviews: Whats with the pauses? would have been a solid 5 star if there wasn't the random pauses. I love the story love the narator and the bittersweet end is one of the better endings. spectacular! This was nothing at all like the Disney movie. This was a wonderful story and performance. Masterful! A perfect end to a great series. An epic tale with lessons that aren't beat over your head and aren't there just to be there. Not a wasted word of character. Fflewdur, Eilonwy, Gurgi, Hen Wen, Coll, Run, Dalben came back from my adolescent memories. The story is just as thrilling to me in my 50s as it was when 9 or 10. Top notch storytelling! The narrator brought it all together on his unique spin on the characters made them all so memorable. Sad it's over What an epic tale, I can't believe it's all over, the tales of the assistant pig keeper and his companions will stick with me forever. I can't think of a more noble saga, a hero so deserving, and and ending that can compare to the emotional coaster that closes this book. Truly a story that could stand as high as the rest. Fabulous. Beautiful language, enchanting delivery We loved this book, which is so well written. Profound, wise, funny.. A font of beautiful language. An exciting hero's tale with much adventure and all the trappings. Plus, just beautifully narrated in this audio version!! My son and I have been riveted by this series

Amazing This was by far one of the best books I have ever read and right now I am wishing Max was my dog Max This was a sweet book for all ages. Its a good family read, and a great book for young readers. One thing, however, that occurred to me while I was reading, was the fact that this book was possibly a wee bit gender stereotypical. This book also reminded me that when a family is going through a rough time,that a bond with an animal can provide comfort for a child, as well as well as a means for the family getting to a better place. BEST BOOK EVER I love this book so much and the voice actors should keep up the good work service dogs This is a wonderful book concerning service dogs. You learn about how dogs are trained for service.

Arnold invested my money in many things. One of them was a prizefighter. All of a sudden I was the sponsor of my very own fighter, Joey Pow. That's when my 12th summer got really interesting." Gary Paulsen's comic story about a summer job becomes a slapstick lesson in business as one boy turns a mountain of grass into a mountain of cash. Members Reviews: Great Summer Read Where does Lawn Boy rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? One of my favorite quick books! What was one of the most memorable moments of Lawn Boy? My favorite moment is when the main character learns how much money he has. Which scene was your favorite? My students crack up laughing when the wrestler "pounds" the thugs. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This book made my 4th grade students laugh out loud many times. Any additional comments? This is a great class book for the end of the school year, it keeps the kids very engaged during a time where attention span is almost nonexistent! I would also highly recommend it for a summer book or for reluctant readers. Really really good book funny too i fond this book really funny evin when he meet the boxer that was the most funny parts of the book i really recommend thus book to all ages Great Children's Story I purchased this book for my 10 yr old to inspire him to read about things he was interested in.

Castle Hangnail Audiobook by Ursula Vernon

Title: Castle Hangnail Author: Ursula Vernon Narrator: Tara Sands Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 04-21-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 87 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: When Molly shows up on Castle Hangnail's doorstep to fill the vacancy for a wicked witch, the castle's minions are understandably dubious. After all, she is 12 years old, barely five feet tall, and quite polite. (The minions are used to tall, demanding evil sorceresses with razor-sharp cheekbones.) But the castle desperately needs a master or else the Board of Magic will decommission it, leaving all the minions without the home they love. So when Molly assures them that she is quite wicked indeed (so wicked! Really wicked!) and begins completing the tasks required by the Board of Magic for approval, everyone feels hopeful. Unfortunately it turns out that Molly has quite a few secrets, including the biggest one of all: that she isn't who she says she is. Critic Reviews: "[I]t offers a read with substance and resonance, despite the more whimsical trappings." ( School Library Journal) Members Reviews: A great romp you shouldn't leave to just the kids When letters were dispatched to available wicked witches, wizards, sorcerers, mad scientists, vampires, and beast lords announcing an opening for a a new Master of the Castle at Castle Hangnail, the resident staff did not expect a twelve-year-old girl. Molly has one of the invitation letters, though, and insists she is a genuine wicked witch, and the minions don't want Castle Hangnail to get decommissioned for lack of a master by the Board of Magic, so... When Molly starts making good progress on the required tasks to be confirmed as the new master, even the most skeptical of the minions, Major Domo, starts to become hopeful. But Molly has some secrets lying in wait to trip them all up. Especially Molly. And when Molly's "old friend" turns up, thinks start to come unraveled. This is a really fun tale of a talented and imaginative girl who is determined not to let anything stand in the way of her desire to practice her magic and be the witch that being the wicked twin in her family has made her--without hurting anyone who doesn't deserve it! Or possibly not even those that do deserve it. The plot moves, and I love the characters, especially Molly herself, Cook the Minotaur, and Bugbane the bat. Some of the more peripheral characters are fun, too. Some will point out that this is a book intended for younger readers, to which I say, yes, what's your point? It's a lot of fun, and Tara Sands reads it very well and entertainingly. Recommended. I bought this book. Delightful! Appropriate for all ages! Funny sweet story. Talking animals. Gardening. Being wicked, but, of course, not evil. A very enjoyable listen I forgot I even purchased this, and yet, there it was in my library. I'd just finished a bunch of other fantasy novels, and needed SOMETHING while I was doing kitchen work. Ursula Vernon has never let me down before, and continues to make my day that much more fun and surreal. And earthy. Definitely earthy (but not in a burlesque sense). Practical fantasy. Ms. Sands's narration took a little getting used to, but after the first or second chapter, I couldn't imagine any other voices except the ones she employed for the various characters. They were all unique and distinct, and not at all distracting from the story itself. I will probably subject my family to this on our next long car trip.

Wolf Brother Audiobook by Michelle Paver

Title: Wolf Brother Subtitle: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #1 Author: Michelle Paver Narrator: Ian McKellen Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 02-17-05 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 207 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Six thousand years ago. Evil stalks the land. Only 12-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion can defeat it. Their journey together takes them through deep forests, across giant glaciers, and into dangers they never imagined. In this original and spectacularly told adventure story, the first book in The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, Torak and Wolf are joined by an incredible cast of characters as they battle to save their world. Critic Reviews: "Paver's depth of research...makes this impressive British import...intriguing and believable." (School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Where are book 2 and 3? this book is fantastic.. but where are the second and third book?? Best Reader Ian McKellen brought this book to life. He is the best reader I've ever heard, bringing wonder and mystery and excitement to the narrative as well as to the dialog. If this book is the first of a series, I hope he reads them all. Young at heart Fun book even for adults. I'm 45, loved it. My dad who's 79 enjoyed it too. Hooked For The Duration After listening to this first book of a six-book series I know that I am hooked for the duration. Paver takes some basic story elements and brings them excitingly alive ; a boy's kinship with an animal; a battle against pure evil; a quest of myth-like proportions. Loved Tall Tailless and Wolf I listened to Ian McKellen (Gandalf) bring this piece to stunning life. It's a fantasy, set in ancient Bronze-Age Europe, uncounted aeons ago. The first of 6 or 7 books. Beautifully written, the story is fast-paced and action-packed. It's told in 3rd person, with the POV shifting from the boy Torak to his brother a wolf cub. The setting is vivid and the story sometimes felt almost real, like it could almost have happened, back when people lived in tribal clans, ate reindeer, and worshipped the spirits in rocks and rivers and ravens. There are some life-lessons embedded in the story. For example, the ritual of respect young Torak showed to any animals he killed, thanking it and promising to use every part to sustain life (the hide, bones, and meat). PLOT (no major spoilers): A suddenly-orphaned youth and his wolf cub are destined to save the world from a malevolent demon-possessed bear. As his father (Fa) is dying, having been mawled by the bear, 12-year-old Torak makes him a promise: To journey into the frozen North, to the tallest mountain, home of the World Spirit, and plead for help, for only this Spirit is powerful enough to defeat such a demon. Torak must also offer sacrifices (find three pieces of the Nanuak: the river eye, stone bite, etc) to the World Spirit. He must also offer up his own heart's blood. (He wonders, "All of it??") No one has ever climbed the World Mountain or seen the World Spirit the stuff of legend. Torak is frightened and frequently tempted to break his promise, but he keeps his word (another moral of the story). Help comes from a surprising source. They make a great team, Wolf, Tarok, and the surprise helper. It's a coming-of-age story, wrapped up in a quest. A "fellowship of the ring" but with only 3 in the group. Secondary characters are Hord, Oslak, Fin-Kedin, an old Mage woman of the Raven Clan, a disgusting Walker, etc. I enjoyed it well enough, but it's really written for kids.

With an eye on the taste of a child for concrete detail and no apologies for the embroidery of legend, each tale, in a style akin to fairy-tale, sets forth the unique qualities of a Genevieve, a Felix, a Dorothy, or Comgall-16 real saints brought unforgettably to our attention and admiration. Members Reviews: First story is credited to the wrong Saint The stories are just OK, and more like fairytales. The first story is called St. Alice, but in reality the details, dates, and marriages are actually for St. Adelaide.

Title: Lemonade Crime Author: Jacqueline Davies Narrator: Stina Nielson Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 07-22-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 80 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Award-winning author Jacqueline Davies The Lemonade War introduced fourth-grader Evan and his math-genius sister Jessie as they went head-to-head to see who could sell the most lemonade. Its charming sequel, The Lemonade Crime finds the siblings finally getting used to being in the same class after Jessie skips a grade. But a criminal trial - put on by their fourth grade class - will turn the siblings into rivals once again. Members Reviews: Lemonade Crime This is a good book to snuggle up with at Grandma's house. We liked listening about the court process. It had a good ending and we're listening to the next book called The Bell Bandit. Not quite like kids If you could sum up Lemonade Crime in three words, what would they be? This is book two in a series. You really need book one before reading this title. This book needs book one to lay out the whole story. I hope this is now clear. The kids don't act like kids. Evan and Jessie are siblings. They act like siblings most of the time. Jessie is brilliant. She has moved ahead one grade. She knows too much to be so young, even as a genius. Evan and Jessie are likable and this story covers the theft of money that was earned in book one. Jessie brilliantly decides to charge the suspected boy with the crime. A court is set up to hear the case and the story unfolds. In reality chaos would have ensued with name calling and battles that would drag the adults into the story. It is odd that no adult figures out there is a problem. The ending is abrupt and doesn't match how kids really work and think. It is a teaching story and best to be read to/with kids so a discussion can follow. I'm not in love with this story. I probably will never listen again. I don't think the book is terrible, it just isn't realistic. It is about people and attempts to be about reality, but it misses the mark. Better books that describe how kids/teens think would include the Clementine series or the Bras and Broomsticks series. What was one of the most memorable moments of Lemonade Crime? Amazing This book was awsome This book was a great story. I listened to it for homework and got loved it soooo much. Wonderful!!!!! I loved how they open up the beginning of this story! The story shows the bitter sweet relationship of the kids. I also love how each character has a part! Great book overall!!!! Meh The story was in the middle, nothing exciting, but it makes it very easy to sleep. Narrating was much better than the actual story.

We loved it, my four-year-old thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun to listen to on the way to and from school and on the way home from the cabin! Great Little Stories That Kids Will Enjoy Would you consider the audio edition of Rebekah - Girl Detective Books 1-8: Fun Short Story Mysteries to be better than the print version? My daughter (aged 8) found the audio version of this series of short mysteries to be thoroughly enjoyable to listen to, especially before heading off to bed once she's done her homework, or while we're traveling in the car. It's simply a great alternative to the printed version, and she tells me that listening to it for her helps to bring the characters to life more. What was one of the most memorable moments of Rebekah - Girl Detective Books 1-8: Fun Short Story Mysteries? I'd have to ask her, because she seems to like them all. But, as far as I'm aware her favorite stories are the one about the Aliens, the Ghost & the Missing Gems. Which scene was your favorite? I know she quite liked the scene in the story about aliens when there was a bright glowing light in Rebekah's school. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It's easily one that my daughter could have listened to all day if I allowed her to :)She just loves Rebekah and her side kick mouse, and is always eager to discover where her next great adventure will lead her. Any additional comments? I thought this was a well put together audio series for young children (girls and boys alike) that will keep them entertained for hours. Seems like they're highly addictive once kids begin listening to them, and the story is well thought out, which kids are sure to enjoy.

I listen to it over and over again because it is so awesome! Couldn't get past the voice What did you like best about Foxcraft #1? What did you like least? I couldn't get very far but it seemed well written from what I did hear. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I was not able to get into the story, so I do not much know. What didnt you like about Stephanie Drakes performance? Too sugary sweet and high pitched, could not get into the story because of that. She read well and had good pacing but I couldn't stomach it. Was Foxcraft #1 worth the listening time? Unsure as I did not get very far. Wonderful Story! I especially loved Stephanie Drake's voice put to the story it really set it off I'm so excited to see the second book, but it doesn't even have the same time as well just a few days to see the new book. I love the book but my favourite part is when the wolf in the cage try's to bit the Cubs arm off

Rowling Erzähler: Felix von Manteuffel Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 14 hrs and 35 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 11-20-15 Herausgeber: Pottermore from J.K. Rowling Bewertung: 4.5 von 5 von 47 Stimmen Kategorien: Kids, Ages 8-10 Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Natürlich weiß Harry, dass das Zaubern in den Ferien strengstens verboten ist, und trotzdem befördert er seine schreckliche Tante mit einem Schwebezauber an die Decke. Die Konsequenz ist normalerweise: Schulverweis! Nicht so bei Harry; im Gegenteil, man behandelt ihn wie ein rohes Ei. Hat es etwa damit zu tun, dass ein gefürchteter Verbrecher in die Schule eingedrungen ist und es auf Harry abgesehen hat? Mit seinen Freunden Ron und Hermine versucht Harry ein Geflecht aus Verrat, Rache, Feigheit und Verleumdung aufzudröseln und stößt dabei auf Dinge, die ihn fast an seinem Verstand zweifeln lassen. Please note: This audiobook is in German. Mitglieder Bewertungen: Niemals hab ich auf English gelesn. Es ist schwer für mich über diese Autorin zu screiben. Ich liebe alle die Filme und ich hab fast 4 von den Bücher gelesen aber ich hab alle die Bücher nur auf Deutsch gelesen(meine 3te Sprache) also ich kann net so leicht sagen, dass Joann Rowling ne' gute Autorin ist sondern, dass ihre Bücher und Geschichte mir sehr gut gefallen. Vielleicht werd ich eines Tages die Bücher auf English lesen aber jetzt lese gern auf Deutsch. Ich werd alle Harry Potter emphelen. Absolutely amazing! I first purchased Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen and fell in love with it. The first chapter book I read in English as a child was Sorcerer's Stone and the first chapter book I read in German was der Stein der Weisen. I went on to purchase the next one and finally this one. I hope to buy the rest of the books (or maybe someone will get them for me for Christmas!(Hint hint to anyone who knows me lol) Anywho, the translation seems to be very accurate unlike the Spanish translation that I had read before. It's fun and easy to understand, a great way to practice your German. I love to show the books to my friends, who find German fascinating since they only had Spanish in their high schools. I recommend this book (and series, really) to anyone who wishes to practice their German (especially if like me, you have no native German speakers for friends). Great translation and awesome language tool. These books are a great tool for English speakers who have read the series in English and want to improve or maintain their German language skills. I started reading book one at German level B2-1 of the common european framework of reference for languages (roughly 'lower-upper-intermediate' level) and, once I got past the first chapter or so and got used to it, found the reading to be not only doable but enjoyable. I think many of the words would be difficult for someone who had not already read the books in English (unless you happen to already be familiar with words like 'Kobold'...). I have actually read the English series a number of times and was worried that the German translation would be too different and I wouldn't like it, but that has absolutely been no issue, I think they did a fantastic job with the translations. Enjoy! Awesome way to learn German I love the Harry Potter stories. And I'm learning German. What better way to facilitate language learning than by listening to these audio CDs while driving. Knowing the story line helps immensely in understanding and learning new vocabulary.

Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-13 Publisher: Shadow Mountain Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 348 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: It will take more than magical candy to win this war! Something fishy is going on at the new amusement center in Walnut Hills. The trouble seems linked to the mysterious disappearance of Mozag and John Dar, who have spent their lives policing the magical community. When Nate and his friends are asked to help investigate, they discover kids feverishly playing arcade games in an effort to win enough tickets to redeem one of four stamps: jets, tanks, submarines, and racecars. Rumor has it that the stamps are definitely worth it. But what do they do? The kids soon discover that the owner of Arcadeland is recruiting members for four different clubs. When each club is filled, he will begin his quest to retrieve a magical talisman of almost unimaginable power. With John Dart and Mozag sidelined, will Nate, Summer, Trevor, Pigeon, and their new friend, Lindy, find a way to save the day? Find out in this sweetest adventure ever! Members Reviews: Candy shop war book two rules!! Whoever is reading this has to read book two I liked the characters' voice and themselves. I disliked the girls' voice. (Not part of this review: my chicken Dotty is super cute) The Action Continues So this book nicely follows Book 1 and if you liked it, you will probably like this too. The plot is more complex, a little more violent magic... but a lot more courage, teamwork and character shown by the group of friends. This time the evil magician is Belinda White's "wants to rule the world" brother... who also uses groups of children from the arcade... given gifts of magic enhancers to accomplish tasks he can't do himself. What kid doesn't want to fly? Parents concerns are this time reduced by Cheese Nachos rather than White Chocolate. I liked the narration better and although I still wasn't as an adult fully engaged... I think the tween population will really enjoy. I like Brandon Mulls creative mind. Awesome I love Brandon mulls books there so good I could read them over and over again there so good Amazing Is there a book three at all?.An can you make them longer please with more detail Incredible If you right a third book maybe one of the kids is turned into a engineered apprentice with mixed powers?

Monotonous Monotonous. I could not finish listening to this book. I like these books and could not finish.

I'm so sad, that this series is over. I love it so much that I have already listened to it twice. I recommend this series to all, kids and adults alike. It is so fun, crazy and full of adventure. After I relistened to the series again I realize how clever Cressida Crowell is and how she ties the storyline together and makes the clues blend in nicely. In a way that it reminded me of how well JK Rowlings did it in the Harry Potter series. I hope there are more books to come from Cressida Crowell because I will be for sure trying them. I can only say good things about the narrator. I love him and wish that he did more audiobooks he really helps make the characters come to life and recognizable just by the way they talk. Brilliant!!!! I have bought and listened to the entire series, DavidT. Is the best narrator ever! Fabulous book series for kids and adults David Tennant does a superb job of relating Hiccup's tale from beginning to end. Cressida Cowell's imagination is superlative with the most inventive and addicting take I've heard or read in a long time! The whole family got hooked from the first book. This book comes alive with David Tennant The entire series is a pure joy for young and old The books are richer deeper and more entertaining than the TV series and quite different We will listen again and again A fantastic end Another brilliant and much awaited How to Train Your Dragon book. As always the story and the performance were brilliant. The story pulls you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I found myself unable to stop listening because I wanted to know what happened next. I'm quite sad that this is the last book, but with 12 books total there is plenty to re-listen to and still enjoy. David Tennant gave another fantastic and lively performance that really brings the characters and the story to life.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 620 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: But when Jack disappears in his sail boat and disaster threatens her home, Nim must be braver than she's ever been before. And she needs help from her friends, old and new. Critic Reviews: "[A] fantasy tale as welcome as a breath of fresh tropical air....With ample doses of suspense and comedy...the tale portrays the improbable so cleverly that readers will want to believe everything about the likable Nim and her idyllic isle." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Enchanting for All I loved the movie but I'm glad I didn't miss the book! It is delightful and so cleverly written. This is a true classic in children's literature! -Not that it is just for children. It has appeal for adults, too. The author's plain but sprightly narrative is most engaging. A very worthwhile book! A Movie in Your Head Thank God, for Children's Books I like books from all genres, but mostly I like well written, entertaining books I can get lost in. Nim's Island is a beautiful story on a beautiful Island. Nim's days are busy with play, friends and chores. The Island provides all her needs. The writing is so well done, that you will feel the warmth of the sun on your face, the spray of the ocean, and the warm breeze. I have been disappointed in several adult books lately and I am so glad I found this little story of escape. Kids, will like it, but I liked as an adult. My daughter's favorite book My daughter is 5 and doesn't usually have the attention to listen to a chapter book (other than this and the Wizard of Oz) but she asks for this one repeatedly. Something in the story has grabbed her imagination. She says, "it's fun and scary and funny at the same time." The scary parts aren't too scary and she likes that Nim helps the adults and the bad guys don't win. This is a great book. Not too simplistic because it grabbed my imagination, too. Great Deserted Island Tale Nim is such a great, strong girl character! She and her friends (a sea lion, a marine iguana, and a great green turtle) survive alone on the island while her father is adrift in a broken-ruddered boat. The email correspondence with Alex is perhaps a little contrived and the ending is incredibly fortuitous but you will be happy with it! I know I was. Sea Girls Dream My daughter dreams of swimming with sharks and living on the water. She has kayaked the islands of Tampa Bay, and studied the ocean in school. This audio book took her into her dreams. She read the book and then enjoyed just listening to the story over again. We both agree the movie was good, the book was better.

The book reader brought a lot of excitement when the person read it to me. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? I do not think i would make this book a movie. I do not know what a tag line is. Any additional comments? I am a 12 year old boy who had to read this book for summer reading. Listened with my son My ten year old and I enjoyed listening to it together! He provided the ratings and I agree. The ending was obvious, otherwise, good story. Hope they make it a movie! This is one of the best books I have ever listened to or read. Love it good 3rd in my top 5 one of the best books I have read or listen to

Revised edition: Previously published as A Little Princess, this edition of A Little Princess (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions. Members Reviews: A true classic This story was always my wife's favorite. She forced us to watch the movie one day and both my daughter and I fell in love with the story with her. I'm not sure exactly what is so captivating about this story but it seems to draw you in. I guess it's the story of these children who are living in a shadow type of life and figure out on their own how to live in the sunlight. I don't want to say much more on the story or it may ruin it for some. Well written story. Great for all ages. What a wonderful job Burnett does bringing this book to life What a wonderful job Burnett does bringing this book to life. Three children who needed each other came together and since I don't want to ruin the story for others who may want to read this book, I will not spoil it. The book made me laugh, cringe, happy, and sad. I couldn't put the book down. I will say when life throws you lemons make lemonade. This book clearly demonstrates that. Do not miss the chance to read this book. It is that good! Wonderfully evocative children's tale. One of my all time favourite childhood books, I have reread this so many times over 50+ years that I have lost count. The robin, Dickon, the garden, Ben Weatherstaff, the lingo, the house - all speak to me of my Yorkshire childhood. To this day I still want a walled garden of my very own. Sadly, this may be a book that will not appeal to this age's techy kids, but I hope it still gets read in some little corners, somewhere. Hopefully, classics like this will never rust and fade away. Wonderful on so many levels that I thoroughly enjoyed it A classic I had not read as a child. Wonderful on so many levels that I thoroughly enjoyed it, even as adult reading. The metaphor of the garden coming to life was beautifully crafted and the characters are well developed. One slowly starts to like even the least likeable ones, as they start to blossom and come to life, just like the garden.

Crusty dragon Miss Drake has a new pet human, precocious Winnie. Oddly enough, Winnie seems to think Miss Drake is her pet - a ridiculous notion! Unknown to most of its inhabitants, the City by the Bay is home to many mysterious and fantastic creatures, hidden beneath the parks, among the clouds, and even in plain sight. And Winnie wants to draw every new creature she encounters: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But Winnie's sketchbook is not what it seems. Somehow, her sketchlings have been set loose on the city streets! It will take Winnie and Miss Drake's combined efforts to put an end to the mayhem - before it's too late. Members Reviews: Wonderfully engaging story Would you consider the audio edition of A Dragon's Guide to the Care and Feeding of Humans to be better than the print version? Yes, because Susan Denaker makes the dragon, Miss Drake come to life. I read the book first and then because I enjoyed it so much, wanted to listen to the audiobook. I am an adult and really enjoyed this audiobook. It is a delightful, heartwarming tale with adventure and mild suspense. Who was your favorite character and why? Miss Drake the dragon is delightful on so many levels. I like that her character is the narrator of the story. Great performance OK book I enjoyed listening to this book mostly because of the performance of the narrator, who made the book sound spectacular; she plays the many different characters in the book (different ages, different nationalities) convincingly and with a great charm. I like children and early teen books as a way of escapism, but this one was a bit too slow, too unoriginal, and it reminded me of so many other stories we all know from books and movies. There was much talking and not much action or funny things for children. The language used is on the posh side, well-learned kids will have no problem, others will need of their parents or a dictionary to read it (which is not a bad thing at all!). Summer Read My daughter and I loved it!! It was a great shift in perseptive, and the character development was awesome. The preformance spectacular! A unique perspective Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, the story itself has so many layers and depth. It has beautiful themes of acceptance, friendship, and growing pains. It balances that with adventure and suspense and a bit of magic. What was one of the most memorable moments of A Dragon's Guide to the Care and Feeding of Humans? When the old dragon begins to soften toward her new human. Have you listened to any of Susan Denakers other performances before? How does this one compare? No. It took me a moment to adjust to this reader. At first, she was not my favorite. She did not seem like the right voice for a children's novel. However, I would encourage you to hold out because as the story continues she becomes the perfect fit. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Oh Winnie... This must be one of the best fiction audiobooks! This must be one of the best fiction audiobooks I've ever listened to - both the story and the performance are incredibly good and funny.

I think I've enjoyed listening as much or more than I would have enjoyed reading it. It will be the next read for my book club. Great book to share with my 6th grade class. We loved it. My students were inspired to take on some injustices as well and it gave us relevant information about today's world. Great read Absolutely love this audio book. The story line is simple but thought provoking! definately recommend reading/listening to this novel. This Story Needs to Be Told This is the story of a Pakistani boy who was killed for standing up against forced labor and indentured servitude of children and poor people. Told through the eyes of a young girl who was chained to a carpet loom beside him, the story explains how children end up in such factories, how they live, how they are treated. It also shows the corruption of the society that would allow such injustice to go unchecked. The narrator does a fantastic job of maturing with the first person point of view, as well as voicing various characters in the story. She also manages to capture the foreign sights, sounds and diction of Pakistan without stereotyping.

How does this one compare? she gives a similar good performance Any additional comments? its a really good book that every one would enjoy reding This is a forced review.I can't listen to the book This is a forced review. I cant listen to the book without writing something. I paid bfor this book. Amazon sucks for forcing me to do this. I should be compensated for my time. What do you think amazon/audible, should I be paid? Fab Fun magical entertaining don't want to turn it off...keeps me amused whilst playing Lego! Ryan age 10 and a half Well... Before the final book is released tomorrow I decided to re-read the whole series, and I am pleased that I have, I was reminded of small details that I don't know if I picked up the first time round. I don't think they will impact upon the overall story line, but is was nice to notice them. Fingers crossed the final book doesn't let us down after all our patience!

My 8 year old daughter and I enjoyed listening to this book on our way to school each morning. Highly recommend! Fresh, Funny Follow Up I enjoyed the follow up book just as much as the first one.

This was the first audiobook I listened to and it was amazing!! What other book might you compare Love, Stargirl to and why? This book gives a whole new perspective to the Original Stargirl book.

Mandy Sigfried brought a new light to the book with the way she read it. Great Follow Up! Love Stargirl! This is a great follow up to the first Stargirl book. The narration is great.

Turtle in Paradise Audiobook by Jennifer L. Holm

Holm Narrator: Becca Battoe Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-10 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Inspired by family stories, two-time Newbery Honor winner and New York Times best-selling author Jennifer L. Holm beautifully blends family lore with America's past in this charming gem of a novel, rich in historical detail, humor, and the unique flavors of Key West. Life isn't like the movies, and 11-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. She's smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. After all, it's 1935, and jobs and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. So when Turtle's mama gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesn't like kids, Turtle says goodbye without a tear and heads off to Key West, Florida, to stay with relatives she's never met. Florida's like nothing Turtle has ever seen. It's hot and strange, full of wild green peeping out between houses, ragtag boy cousins, and secret treasure. Before she knows what's happened, Turtle finds herself coming out of the shell she has spent her life building, and as she does, her world opens up in the most unexpected ways. Critic Reviews: "Turtle is just the right mixture of knowingness and hope; the plot is a hilarious blend of family dramas seasoned with a dollop of adventure." ( Booklist) "Sweet, funny and superb." ( Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Delightful, funny, and touching. Our entire family enjoyed this book while on a long car trip. The author has created wonderful characters who live in a vividly depicted run-down area of Key West in the early 20th century. Turtle is a believable girl, who is a complicated mix of brave and vulnerable. She makes the most of unfortunate circumstances while befriending a crew of cousins she's never met. The book is even more delightful because it is based on the author's grandmother's memories of growing up in Key West when it was a remote outpost instead of a tourist destination (Ernest Hemmingway has a cameo). Very good book What made the experience of listening to Turtle in Paradise the most enjoyable? I read this with my 10 year old daughter for a mother/daughter book club. We both very much enjoyed it. Older story What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The relationships within the family. I liked that her name was "Turtle". And the history detailed when completed. Would you listen to another book narrated by Becca Battoe? I purchased this book because Becca Battoe was the narrator. Loved her in the Fifty Shades Trilogy. Turtle Indeed I'm 36yo & this story with the narrative cracked me up..its for younger kids but adults will appreciate the dry witty sense of humor..this audio may also cause you some lack of sleep..for its too good not to hear all of it. Many times during the night I had to be careful my laughter didn't wake my husband. Great story. No bad language or content in this story that my own child couldn't hear. I appreciate that very much. Turtle has climbed to the top of my "listen to very often" stack of audios. I'll let you decide where it climbs in your pile ;)

I read this book last night based on another's review and I am very glad that I did. It is a sweet children's book that was written 70 years ago but which holds up to the test of time. It touches on the very difficult subject of bullying and allows children to see that differences make others interesting. This book won the Newberry Award in 1945 and I believe it could still win the award if released today. There is an excellent review written by Brina, and I will not try to do what she did so well. I simply want to state that if I had a young child today, this book would be one we read starting tonight. One of my childhood favorites I loved this sweet and sad little story as a child, and it still resonates. It will encourage anyone to be kinder to others who may e or seem to be "different". One of our favorites We love The Hundred Dresses. We have read this many times over the years and recommend it to everyone. Great book to enjoy with your kids What made the experience of listening to The Hundred Dresses the most enjoyable? This was read in an enjoyable manner that you could hear and comprehend easily What did you like best about this story? the moral of it If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? she spoke in a easy to listen to voice that you can understand and was not softspoken

Since his trainer left him, he has been hiding in a cave with a bunch of gang members (also Squirtles). He appointed himself to be their leader, and he pulls pranks on people and other Pokémon. But a series of events leads to his self-discovery, a new trainer, new friends, and a vicious enemy: Team Rocket. Will Squirtle save the day by preventing James from throwing a bomb on his home? And will he choose to evolve into a Wartortle or a Blastoise? Or will he give some other that opportunity? Diary two: In this adventure, Charmander tells about how he met Ash and how he escaped the rainstorm and made sure the flame at the end of his tail didn't get extinguished. He also battles another Pokémon, a water type, and he faces his worst fears in the hollow depth of a mysterious tree. Hear about the courageous Charmander, who confronts himself and overcomes his fears by looking for practical solutions. Diary three: What will Eevee choose? He turns into eight different Pokémon creatures. Along the way he finds out that each of these types serves a purpose and that each has its own benefits. Glaceons can turn things into ice, Umbreons can see in the dark, and Espeons can read thoughts. Will he be able to make up his mind? May, his trainer, certainly likes to experiment with his evolvements, but every time, he realizes that there is another one he can change into. Choosing between rescuing a child, killing a dangerous water type Pokémon, or revealing the evidence of a crime investigation is tough. Decisions...decisions... Diary four: This Snorlax has a huge appetite, but that's okay as long as he can take his yearlong "nap", or, in other words, hibernate after storing all the food he devoured. Snorlax is happy when he fills his tummy with goodies from the supermarket, but when he goes to sleep, his slumber gets interrupted by a bunch of loud kids. He wakes up and won't stop eating. He steals food, goes island hopping, and doesn't slow down one bit! Will Ash and Misty succeed in bringing him to the laboratory so Professor Oak can take a look at this gigantic Pokémon? Members Reviews: My kid likes it. I always have a hard time getting my son to read, so I got him an audiobook. I would prefer a bit more vocabulary, but then may be this would ruin it for the child. A great buy for me. Perfect for my daughters. This is a book for my daughters who are hard core fans for Pokemon. However, the book is not only a hit for teens, but also adults. I often find listening to this book - and love it, too. Super cool, entertaining and easy to understand. Fantastic work on this story. I found this story to be very entertaining and absolutely adorable! I loved the adventure and was really pleased with the interesting way the story was told. Unique and one-of-a-kind. Amazing! This book is amazing. It is creative how the pokemon came to earth. I really like this book. I suggest it to any pokemon lovers or want-to-be pokemon lovers. I love Pokemons! Loved it! I have Pokemon games, Pokemon printed stuff and so it completely made sense that I got this book too. I am completely crazy about Pokemons.

I raised my head to look around the room, and my heart leaped into my throat. There, standing at the foot of my bed, was a figure, looming in the darkness.

The plot is entertaining but a bit predictable. good story but couldn'' keep up w/all the charactr ood story but i couldn'' keep up with all the characters towards the end.

When a mysterious word in her mother's vocabulary begins to haunt her, Heidi's thirst for the truth leads her on a cross-country journey in search of the secrets of her past. Critic Reviews: "A remarkable novel." (New York Times Book Review) "This is lovely writing - real, touching, and pared cleanly down to the essentials." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Exquisitely written; perfectly read I've had "So B. It" on my wish list for months, based simply on the intriguing description. Now I am only sorry I didn't get it sooner just so I could tell more people how wonderful it is. The story is almost magical in its beauty and the narration only enhances that beauty. According to other sources this is a book written for young people, ages 9-12, but I have grandchildren older than that! This is a story written for all ages. I normally choose audiobooks of epic length, often in the mystery or thriller categories, or non-fiction in a variety of fields, but "So B. It" could equally be classified as mystery, thriller, chick-lit or self-improvement, not to mention children's literature. Truly a story for all ages, to be read over and over again. Soof! This is destined to be a classic. Sarah Weeks, more, please! loved it! my daughter got me the book (signed by the author) for me and wanted to listen to the audio version with me. very enjoyable read and listen. Audio books don't get better than this In fact, no book gets better than this. It is beautiful, sad, thrilling and perhaps the best book I have read/heard in years. Sarah Weeks tells more story in 4 and 1/2 hours than most best selling authors tell in a lifetime. The narrator is every bit as good as the author--a perfect match. Don't hesitate. This is a surefire winner for your next download. Great Listen! This was a great listen! I really enjoyed the storyline as well as the characters. I look forward to other books by this author! Tough listen.
OMG with the deliberate speech impediment, every L & R are double wuus? Sorry no.

With the Dark Druids after him and a magical war brewing, 13-year-old Jake Everton must lie low for a while, so his Elder witch aunt takes him and the gang on a long beach holiday, out of harm's way. But sure enough, Jake plunges into trouble once again when he meets a feisty royal mermaid on the run. Princess Sapphira, daughter of King Nereus, recently ventured into the deep and stumbled upon a powerful artifact from ancient Atlantis. But the mysterious orb holds deadlier secrets than she ever suspected, and now every power-mad tyrant in the Seven Seas wants it - especially the dread, undead pirate king, Captain Davy Jones. When the legendary Lord of the Locker invades her father's kingdom and takes her little sister hostage, demanding the orb in exchange, Sapphira blames herself for the catastrophe and means to hand it over. But Jake finds out that if Jones gets the orb, he'll use its power to drown the world in a second Noah's Flood! Now it's up to the aspiring young Lightrider and his friends to help the mermaid rescue her little sister and save the world from the same watery doom that drowned Atlantis - if Jake and the headstrong princess don't strangle each other first! Members Reviews: Excellent! With a war on the horizon and the dark druids more intent than ever to get to Jake, he and his friends are sent to his Aunt's "out of the way" house! They are eager to have a nice quiet holiday, but as usual, trouble seems to find them! This time in the form of a royal mermaid, Princess Sapphira, daughter of King Nereus. She found a rare and powerful artifact that came from Atlantis and accidentally activated it. She quickly shut it off but not before the powerful magic was felt by some nefarious water folk. Word made it's way to Davy Jones and he wants the artifact badly!! So badly that he invades her fathers kingdom and takes her little sister hostage. But Sapphira hides the thing and goes in search of her sister. Meanwhile, while testing out Archie's sub, Jake stumbles across, not only the artifact but the Princess too. When he finds out that Davy Jones intends to use it to flood the world to enlarge his domain, Jake and his friends find themselves fighting shark headed men, Davy Jones and the Dark Druids! Will this be the end of the gang?? This series is one that should be way more popular than it is. It is chocked full of amazing characters, action, adventure and fantastical world building and creatures, to keep everyone wanting more. I fell in love with the world and characters way back when I read the first and here we are at number 5 and the story is still as fresh and energetic as ever. The characters are among my favourites as I find them to be "real". By that I mean that they act and behave exactly as they should. They are young people and behave like young people, they are just drawn into the trouble no matter where they go. They are extremely well written and developed and I loved each of them, even Davy Jones!! The plot was amazingly entertaining and engaging! Being book 5, I thought we may have some things rehashed in the plot, but no, as I said before, it's as fresh and entertaining as always.

Four stories-within-in-a-story, interspersed with the ongoing narrative of the team's triumphant march to the state championship, introduce each member of the team in his own her own voice, and bring the dynamics of the group into focus. ©1998 E. L. Konigsburg; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster Members Reviews: Not just for kids. Konigsburg is ageless. Would you listen to The View from Saturday again? Why? I will listen to this book again; it's delightful on many levels. It's a mood enhancer. Any additional comments? This is a charming tale - 5 stories within a story from the viewpoints of one paraplegic teacher and 4 sixth graders whose lives entwine, first because of family connections, then friendship connections and then the teacher selects them to be teammates in a knowledge bowl. Their individual and collective knowledge makes them formidable contestants and they defeat 6th, 7th and 8th grade teams to reach the state finals. The questions they are asked segue into each tale. Each voice is distinct; each story different. The narration is brilliant. The characters are people I wish I knew personally so I could go to tea with them. Really Good Book Coming from y 9 year old daughter, she really enjoyed this book a lot! She hasn't stopped talking about the story, and the twists and turns it has. Please note I do my best to get her adventure books without killings and violence. So this was a keeper! Completely worth the listen Would you consider the audio edition of The View from Saturday to be better than the print version? The audio version is better in that you can listen to it and do other things while you're at it too, but I think that's the same of all audiobooks. What did you like best about this story? It's witty and unassuming and I think it can be enjoyed by story lovers of all ages. You can really feel for the characters in this story. What about Jenna Lamia and Jan Maxwell s performance did you like? They voiced all the characters really well. I have nothing to complain about. Any additional comments? This was amazing, and a completely feel good read. I would highly recommend this story/book/audiobook to anyone. Quick and Cute Would you listen to The View from Saturday again? Why? Probably not, but that doesn't take anything away from the Book. I just do not re-listen very often. Who was your favorite character and why? Julian, I loved his confidence and his spirit. What does Jenna Lamia and Jan Maxwell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? They were delightful, they nailed the personas of each child and person in the story. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Julian's response to bullying was inspiring. Any additional comments? The story was very quick and an overall good book to read. The beginning started out a little slow. But, hang in there- it gets better. Newberry Winner for a good reason... Four unique children who have experienced loss and challenges end up forming the 6th grade team for knowledge bowl... becoming friends and almost family in the process. Narration jumps around from child to child showing the same events from different points of view... it isn't a story young children would enjoy... the word play and changing voices make it too complex.

Life after the zombie apocalypse is pretty good for 13-year-old Jack Sullivan: He lives in a mind-clobberingly cool tree fort with his best friends, speeds through town playing Real-Life Mario Kart, has a crew of monster buddies, battles zombies on the regular, and generally treats life like it's a video game! But then Jack's friends make a startling discovery: They may not be the last kids on Earth after all. This is great news for everyone...except Jack. Once they've found other humans, his friends won't stick around for long! Jack's only hope for keeping things the way they are is to prove that everything here is perfect, life is crazy fun, and nothing else could be any better. One problem: It's hard convincing his friends that everything is great when they're being hunted by a monstrous Nightmare King and an ancient evil who won't rest until Earth has been devoured. Crud! Maybe life after the monster apocalypse is more complicated than Jack thought.... Members Reviews: The series is loved by my 10 year old son My 10 year old son loves these books. If your kid is into books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Trapped in a Video Game they will probably like this series also. He said this one is as good as the rest My 10 yr. old grandson has read the whole series so far and is loving them all. He said this one is as good as the rest! Engaged My son loved this book.

Can he do it? Members Reviews: love both the movies and the books. David Tennant is a awesome reader. I could listen to him read the ingredients of tortilla chips and love it but the books make it even better. I love how he does Toothless voice. It makes him a real character like Andy Serkis does with Gollum/Smeagol. The books are addicting and I'm now obsessed with hearing them all and know I will be sad when I've done so. I highly recommend all the ones I have already purchased and likely will recommend all that I will be purchasing. great story and performance Hiccup continues to grow. His friends have his back as always. The bad guys are multiple and vindictive, but our heroes persevere, sometimes it is quite unbelievable, but within this story's style. The humor is still enjoyable, and there it's even a poignant and not very preachy lesson. The performance is brilliant, of course. loved it loved it! can't wait to hear the next one. when is book 12 coming out?? not sure I want to hear the very end of the series tho. Love it! I love this series! I love the reader's voices and enthusiasm. I love the music. I love this book. Fun with an awesome narrator. Everybody says this series is perfect for boys between 8-12 years old. But I'm here to tell you that adult woman can like them too. I did start this series with my 10 year old but quickly grew tired of waiting for him and continued on listening to them by myself. I will be happy to go back and listen to them again, they were that much fun. I just love Stoak and Fishlegs they are always good for a laugh. I love the narrator, he makes these book that much more awesome.

Montgomery Narrator: Barbara Caruso Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 345 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: In this charming sequel to Anne of Green Gables, the unpredictable red-headed heroine returns for more wonderful adventures. When Anne Shirley first came to the beautiful Canadian town of Avonlea, she was a mischievous, talkative orphan who captured the hearts of everyone she met. Now, a few years later, Anne is a young woman with new dreams. She has become Avonlea's schoolteacher, and ends up, among other things, reuniting two long-lost lovers, raising two orphans, and falling in love for the first time. Hear more stories in the series. (P)1996 by Recorded Books, Inc.; Cover Art ©1996 by Wes Lowe Editorial Reviews: Beginning with Anne of Green Gables in 1908, author Lucy Maud Montgomery created a publishing enterprise as ambitious and successful as its heroine, the flame-haired and hot-tempered orphan, Anne Shirley. Performed in a mature, impeccable American English by Barbara Caruso, Anne of Avonlea is the second of six Anne novels. The present volume finds Anne at age 16, teaching school, studying with Gilbert, forming a social club, and getting into her usual trouble. Along with the unforgettable heroine and great quirky side characters, the listener is treated to the small, peaceful Prince Edward Island in Northeastern Canada, beginning on "...an August afternoon with blue hazes scarfing the harvest slopes, little winds whispering elfishly in the poplars"... Critic Reviews: "Barbara Caruso gives a delightful reading of an old-fashioned, reassuring classic. For all ages." (Lawrence Eagle Tribune) Members Reviews: Barbara Caruso is excellent The entire series is so wonderful, very engaging, nothing objectionable. And Barabara Caruso feels like a friend, her narration is the very best. I now judge all other narrators by her. Beautifully narrated! I have enjoyed listening to Barbara Caruso's reading of the Anne of Green Gables series. Her voice is delightful and it adds so much to the stories. Positively perfect in every way! This Narrator nails it! If you could sum up Anne of Avonlea in three words, what would they be? I have read this book probably 20 times and seen the movie as many times. The narrator makes all the difference in the world to a very familiar and loved story. What was one of the most memorable moments of Anne of Avonlea? I love the Davey character. Even better as he was narrated. I find myself saying after recently listening to thi sbook again "Why (insert question here)...I wanna know." Have you listened to any of Barbara Carusos other performances before? How does this one compare? In Anne of green Gables...and she was the reason why I chose her narration on this second book. Some reviewers complained she was a bit over the top...I thought she captured Anne in all her essence...and the so important supporting characters. She had a wonderful range that made her believable as most of the characters. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I ALWAYS CRY no matter how many times I read this book. SO TOUCHING. Any additional comments? A must read for all little girls..from young to old. I am almost 40 now and love the story just as much as I did when I was a little girl. Childhood remembered I bought this book for my wife, who loved "The Anne Books" while she was growing up. And my wife loved this audio version as well. The narration does an excellent job capturing the moods and voices of each character.

Title: The Stolen Chapters Subtitle: Story Thieves, Book 2 Author: James Riley Narrator: Kirby Heyborne Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 12-13-16 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 58 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Owen, Kiel, and Bethany confront secrets, stolen memories, and some very familiar faces in the follow-up to the second book in the New York Times best-selling series The Story Thieves - which was called a "fast-paced, action-packed tale" by School Library Journal - from the author of the Half Upon a Time trilogy. Owen Conners' whole life changed the day he found out his classmate Bethany was half fictional and could take him into any book in the library. Which story would they jump into next? Another fantasy, like the Kiel Gnomenfoot, Magic Thief books? Maybe something with superheroes? Owen's up for anything except mysteries - those just have too many hidden clues, twists that make no sense, and an ending you never see coming. Then Owen wakes up in a real-life mystery with a memory that's been erased and too many questions. How did Kiel Gnomenfoot lose all of his magic? Where is Bethany? And who's the annoying guy wearing the question mark mask and Sherlock Holmes hat, taunting Owen and Kiel that Bethany is in grave danger? Bethany is trapped in a hidden room that's slowly filling with water, and she can't escape until her friends find her. But is she imprisoned by more than just chains and a locked door? What's she hiding from Owen and Kiel? Members Reviews: This one is fun This is the 2nd book in James Rileys, The Story Thievespl series. Im amazed by the twists and turns and change of direction this book takes. The first nine chapters have the narrator repeating, over and over and over, missing text, missing text, missing text with the odd line thrown in. In the print version, those chapters have pages of little back dashes indicating information is missing. Over the chapters that follow, the story moves forward by telling the story, but also filling in the missing chapters. It makes for an interesting read / listen. There is also a timer counting down from 2 hours (but not in real time). As a reader, or a listener, you really need to pay attention or find yourself jumping back for clarification. In the end though, its worth it and has me truly hooked! Wow! Going to get the next one! Not cool I really enjoy this app and so do my two boys. We read every night. So some nights it's nice just to listen as they drift off to sleep. We have just finished Harry Potter the third one and decided to get a different story. After searching for one that sounded interesting we decided on this one. Excited to listen we began downloading it on to hear "missing text missing text missing text" honestly I figured we'd let the entire thing download and it would work. Nope doesn't just says missing text all the way through. I have all four Harry Potter and two other stories that I listen to and have no problem with those. So for now I'm still ok with this app but don't waste your money on this story the stolen chapters Dont even buy on sale! Worst book ever! I had to give one star but if I could give one fourth of a star that would be more appropriate! What a huge disappointment! There is something wrong with the recording. My son got through 6 hours of this book and then quit because he was so frustrated. So I listened and there is obviously something wrong with the recording as of November 25th, 2017. I hope it gets fixed. Missing Text, be patient! This is a wonderful series.

He's cursed with a genetic abnormality that's giving him amazing powers too quickly for his body to handle. Jack's only hope: Find the seven lost Loculi that were hidden in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by the last prince of Atlantis. Only they contain the magic to save him - and the world. After unearthing the first Loculus and defeating the Colossus of Rhodes, Jack and his friends are in worse shape than when they first set out. Marco has disappeared without a trace, along with the first Loculus. With no time to spare and no one else to turn to, Jack and the gang have no choice but to follow the only clues they have and to head off on the next leg of their epic quest - to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon! Members Reviews: Quite as a mouse Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes and have. Kept my kids engaged and on the edge of their seat. What was one of the most memorable moments of Lost in Babylon? I was shocked when Marco went against the group. What does Johnathan McClain bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I loved the way he changed his voice for each character. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes - I was shocked to discover the group was betrayed Any additional comments? My sons love this series. Quietest car ride ever. Kids ask to listen to the book to and from school everyday. Thank you Peter Lerangis for making this mom's life easier for an hour each day. Very awesome story This was a very awesome story because it takes you away to almost a fantasy world in the past, in the egyption days. Ensures I'll finish the series Would you listen to Lost in Babylon again? Why? Yes, though I know to cringe anytime "Nirvana" speaks. That is the only exception to an otherwise good reader. What was one of the most memorable moments of Lost in Babylon? The battle between Marco and the Mishy Shoo Shoo is quite an experience. What about Johnathan McClains performance did you like? The reader is consistent. Characters do not change throughout the reading. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The audience can figure out the ends big secret long before the characters do. The moment I realized what was coming was a big moment.

Our Island Story (Complete) Audiobook by H. E. Marshall

Marshall Narrator: Daniel Philpott, Anna Bentinck Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-10 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: H.E. Marshalls classic childrens chronicle of Britain, Our Island Story, includes all the best-loved (and most infamous!) stories from history: King Alfred and the cakes, King John and the Magna Carta, Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar, Queen Elizabeth and the Spanish Armada, and many others. This recording contains the complete and unabridged text, released previously in separate volumes. It is read with aplomb by Anna Bentinck and Daniel Philpott. Members Reviews: NOT Complete at all! What would have made Our Island Story (Complete) better? This only has 34 of 110 chapters. When it says complete, I expect complete. Good but it is for kids I read this maybe when I was about 11 or 12 and when I saw it got it for nostalgic reasons. It does give a brief history of Britain and the narration is fine but it is for children. As an adult you'll find it to be too brief and also it's summary of someone being a "bad" man somewhat childish. If you want a more adult British history book then go for Dave Starkey's Crown and Country. Great for kids though :-) History in a nutshell What made the experience of listening to Our Island Story (Complete) the most enjoyable? I wanted to learn more about our heritage, and this gives a great start without all the intricate (and sometimes boring) bits. What other book might you compare Our Island Story (Complete) to, and why? Grown up history books can be so complicated, this is a great timeline of British History in a very manageable style. What about Daniel Philpott and Anna Bentinck s performance did you like? Although this is a childrens book the narration is great to listen to even as an adult If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? How great is our nation Any additional comments? I love the bit in the introduction that says 'when you find out how much has been left untold in this little book, do not be cross, but remember that, when you very small, you would not have been able to ubderstand things that seem quite simple and very interesting to you as you grow older.' Interesting and excellent value Would you listen to Our Island Story (Complete) again? Why? Yes! We have listened to it lots of times. It's a great story but also super educational. My children really enjoy it, and so do I. What other book might you compare Our Island Story (Complete) to, and why? The Story of the World is a similar look at history but throughout the world, rather than just Britain. Inaccurate and infantile If you have any sense or knowledge of history please don't download this. It is badly written and inaccurate on many points. We managed to bear the first chapter before giving up and moving on to David Starkey's Monarchy which both children and adults enjoyed much more

The Diamond of Darkhold Audiobook by Jeanne Duprau

Title: The Diamond of Darkhold Subtitle: The Fourth Book of Ember Author: Jeanne Duprau Narrator: Katherine Kellgren Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-08 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 308 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: In the fourth Book of Ember, best-selling author Jeanne DuPrau juxtaposes yet another action-packed adventure with powerful themes about hope, learning, and the search for truth. Critic Reviews: "An electric debut. Lina and Doon's search parallels the universal adolescent quest for answers." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Satisfying conclusion to the Ember series This is book 4 of 4 in the "Ember" series which describes a post-apocalyptic earth in hopeful terms. I like that part of the series' approach, though the overall style can be a little pedantic (in my adult opinion) for moral lessons. However, the target audience is juvenile readers so I think the clarity and overt description of moral connections is likely appropriate. All middle and elementary schoolers I have spoken to about this book have really enjoyed it. SPOILER ALERT: This book starts out roughly where ThePeople of Sparks (book 2) leaves off, with winter in full swing and people struggling to get along and survive the winter. The two protagonists want to (again) save things by going back to their abandoned City of Ember. Their adventures are interesting and of course hold many moral lessons. The story telling is skillful and writing is also well done. I would say as an adult I am more accustomed to loose ends left for the reader to fill in according to the reader's inclinations which sometimes can be unsatisfying - other times it is an excellent way to get the reader to continue to ponder and discuss the book long after finishing it. Here, the tying up of details will satisfy all juveniles and any adult who gets frustrated by open endings. Bad Ending What did you love best about The Diamond of Darkhold? The story was amazing, but it had a poor ending. Has The Diamond of Darkhold turned you off from other books in this genre? No Which scene was your favorite? Going back to the city. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Not really Finally Back to the Action You'll be happy to hear that in this final book we get to go back to the original action and locations. There are many many holes in this story. It goes beyond suspension of belief (how can canned food last that long, for one). However, we get to see Ember again with the old gang and more new discoveries from the builders which was a relief. The ending is oh so lame I'm afraid. She tries to wrap it all up neatly and it goes off as a....huh? However, I think if you liked Ember (the first book) you'll enjoy this one well enough. Excellent read You need to read the first 3 to appreciate The Diamond of Darkhold. This book tied all 3 of them together beautifully and I was fascinated through the entire book. I loved the ah ha moments... An Exciting Listen with the Kids Well read. This is an exciting next step in the series. Kept the whole family engaged.

All he needs is the right hammer to crack it open. Candy and gum? Little toys? Sure, kids would love to buy stuff like that at school. But would teachers and the principal permit it? Not likely. But how about comic books? Comic books might work. Especially the chunky little ones that Greg writes and illustrates himself. Because everybody knows that school always encourages reading and writing and creativity and individual initiative, right? In this funny and timely novel, Andrew Clements again holds up a mirror to real life and invites young readers to think about money, school, friendship, and what it means to be a success. Members Reviews: Great Kid Book We listened to this book on a drive to a family vacation. We laughed and learned a little about economics and social relationships. This book is perfect for all children. Listen together, you won't be sorry. I love this book!!!! I think Gregs voice could have sounded better. Otherwise, this book is wonderful. I would recommend it.

By all accounts they saved Disneyland from certain destruction. Why then did their mentor leave one last puzzle for them to decipher? The Keepers must solve a puzzle of the past, or be crushed under an evil that makes the Overtakers seem like gentle souls. Members Reviews: amazing I am never disappointed in this series of books. I always enjoy them from cover to cover In Pergect Keeping I loved it!! The Return books are back on track and as exciting as the first two books. Love it!! Why do I keep buying these? Seriously... Why? Not one of the stories has been very compelling and half of the don't have a satisfying ending... Just a cliffhanger to lead into the next book. This one particularly is based on a wonky sci-fi principle that has been hard to more respected authors. This was no exception. If you're like me and eat up anything Disney, get this. You know you will. If you're just looking for a good read and the Disney angle doesn't matter to you, save yourself some money and re-read Harry Potter.

"A most magical feat," writes Newbery Honor-winner Kirby Larson, "Liesl Shurtliff spins words into gold." In a magical kingdom where your name is your destiny, 12-year-old Rump is the butt of everyone's joke. But when he finds an old spinning wheel, his luck seems to change. Rump discovers he has a gift for spinning straw into gold. His best friend, Red Riding Hood, warns him that magic is dangerous, and she's right. With each thread he spins, he weaves himself deeper into a curse. To break the spell, Rump must go on a perilous quest, fighting off pixies, trolls, poison apples, and a wickedly foolish queen. The odds are against him, but with courage and friendship - and a cheeky sense of humor - he just might triumph in the end. "Lighthearted and inventive,Rump amusingly expands a classic tale." (Brandon Mull, #1 New York Timesbestselling author of Fablehaven.) Perfect for fans of Ella Enchanted or A Tale Dark and Grimm. Members Reviews: My 10 year old like the book and I did not. This is a 2014/2015 Sunshine State Reader which I downloaded to listen to with my daughter. I have listened to almost a 100 audio books with my daughter and we almost never disagree on a book, but this one we did. She really enjoyed it and I did not. If it weren't for the fact that she was enjoying it I would have never finished listening to it. It was slow and tedious for me. I thought that the characters made stupid decision after stupid decision and they were idiotic (with the exception of the trolls). I found the lack of any real communication between characters frustrating and unrealistic. I felt that crucial information wasn't disseminated between characters in an attempt to move the plot in the direction the author wanted to go, not because real characters would actually behave that way. My main problems with the story are: 1. The grandmother withheld critical information from her grandson that would be crucial for his survival. 2. His friend knew more about his past then he did and never shared this information with him until it was too late. She preferred to chastise him then to give him information that may be helpful. 3. The miller's daughter was unusually dumb and dim witted. I don't appreciate stories with characters that are so dumb that they are unbelievable. 4. Almost all the characters in the book are unlikable. Even Rump I had a hard time getting behind when he kept making stupid decisions. With all that being said, the things that my daughter enjoyed about the book: 1. She really liked Rump and Red, 2. She liked that he found his name in the end, 3. She liked the trolls, and 4. She liked the re-telling and different perspective of an old story. amazing all the way I suggest this book. I though it was an amazing book and it was like a rollercoaster. Great story. We listened to the read aloud on the drive to school each morning. The kids loved it... Can't wait for Jack. Best Sequoyah book we have read so far! We loved the reading of this book. Such a fun adventure. My son and I stayed up late, so that we could find out what would happen next. It's hard to put this book down. Rump It was awesome and a sweet loving story that is sad but wonderful please read this amazing bookthank you

I love the movie and always wanted to read the book, but lack of time always got in the way. Audible saved me. The best thing ever I love Matilda it is a great book and I love it and my sister loves it too and it makes my heart beat so much. Great first audio book! This is my first audio book. Even though I had read matilda and watched the movie many times, it is beautiful every time I read it. Also , the narration was done beautifully. Still, if I could change a few bits, some parts were read too softly. Other than that, it was perfect!(^o^)b I highly recommend it. The perfect storybook, for kids AND adults. A masterpiece from Roald Dahl, brought to life by an incredible performance from Kate Winslet. The only thing missing are Quentin Blake's memorable illustrations! Definitely a must-have title in any book lover's collection.

Christmas is coming and Marty and his rescued pup, Shiloh, are sure glad about that - for their town is low on love and understanding, and they hope that the joy of the holiday will bring with it the generosity of spirit that's so lacking. It's been a year since Marty Preston rescued Shiloh from Judd Travers and his cruel ways, and since then, Marty and Shiloh have been inseparable. Anywhere Marty goes, the beagle's at his side, and Marty couldn't be happier about that. Even Judd has been working to improve his reputation. But just as townsfolk grow more accepting of Judd, a fire in the woods destroys many homes, including Judd's, and Judd's newly formed reputation. Doubt, blame, and anger spread faster than the flames - flames that are fanned by the new minister, who seems fonder of fire and brimstone than love and mercy. And why are his daughters so skittish around him? And what's happened to Judd's dogs? With Christmas right around the corner, Marty has a lot of questions, and to get them answered might just take a Christmas miracle. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's fourth book in the Newbery Award-winning Shiloh series - following Shiloh, Shiloh Season, and Saving Shiloh - is full of heart-thudding suspense as well as comfort and joy. Members Reviews: Different My 11 year daughter loved the book she stated it was very interesting and different. Shiloh I love this this book it has a great story you should listen to it at Christmas time good for 3rd grader My nine year old son loved it. He has listened to all four books.

Montgomery Narrator: Barbara Caruso Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 07-31-06 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 186 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: With translations into 15 languages, renowned author L.M. Montgomery penned some 500 short stories and poems as well as the classic Anne of Green Gables novels. Rilla Blythe, youngest daughter of Anne, is almost 15 in 1914. As her brothers and friends prepare to go off to battle, the irrepressible Rilla realizes that she will be changed forever and the world will never be the same. Narrator Barbara Caruso presents a poignant delivery of this family classic. Editorial Reviews: Many know of the young Anne of Green Gables. However, many fewer know that Montgomery continued Anne's saga through her adult years. This work, the final installment, concerns Anne and Gilber's youngest child, daughter Rilla. It is the summer of 1914, and Rilla is a typically frivolous adolescent girl of 15. However, as the war engulfs her world, she becomes a woman, who must embrace triumphs and tragedies. Barbara Caruso gives a winsome performance in keeping with the heroine. Caruso's voice is clear and her delivery soft. She performs each character with energy and great expression, affecting a separate voice for each. Members Reviews: Best book Iv'e heard I loved this book I've listened to it at least 10 times. I can nearly say it word for word. I think the narrator really understands the people in the book Delightful Rendition L.M. Montgomery's "Rilla of Ingleside" was always one of my favorite books growing up, and it is just as delightful to rediscover it now. Barbara Caruso's voice is flexible and captures the different 'voices' in the novel very well. There is some serious (wartime) subject matter, and she carries this off very well in addition to the lighter, humorous material. This audiobook is a very enjoyable listen for any Anne fans. Amazing! It was a really great book and I have listened to it countless times. Just I wish Walter did not die. And I didn't like the ending but I love all other parts of the book. I kind of wish I hadn't read this one Strange to read so much about WWI and so much over the top warmongering. The performance by Barbara Caruso was great, as always, but the story was just too heart-wrenchingly sad. great insight into world war I What made the experience of listening to Rilla of Ingleside the most enjoyable? I had listened to all of the Anne stories in order. This was a nice continuation of the story. What did you like best about this story? I especially liked the insight into the world war 1 conflict. since this was written so close to the time of the war, I can trust that the responses were true to what real people went through during that time. What about Barbara Carusos performance did you like? She did a nice job of capturing the personalities in the story and adding to their interest.

Hear more mystery stories. ©1993, 1965, 1931 Simon & Schuster, Inc.; (P)2003 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group Critic Reviews: "Laura Linney brings the young sleuth and her gal pals to life throughout their adventure....Linney provides a seamless narration. With just the right dramatic flair, the self-deprecating Nancy Drew keenly solves the mystery of a romantic legend involving an outlaw and a ranch-owner's daughter." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Long Live Nancy; A Trip Back in Time Nancy Drew was an important part of my childhood. These books helped me to love reading, made me a mystery fan, and (yes!) fostered my feminism, too. For this, I am grateful to all the people who were Carolyn Keene. Revisiting Nancy is a mixed-bag experience. Of course, the books are not spectacularly well-written. And, in modern terms, our heroine is pretty traditional. The stories are tame. BUT, Laura Linney reads with a respect for the original excitement many of us experienced when reading Nancy Drew. I love the sound effects and the drama in her voice. It's like being a twelve-year-old again. If you are in the mood for uncritical nostalgia, go ahead and try "The Secret of Shadow Ranch". Be sure you only select the Drew mysteries that are performed by Laura Linney. Curl up and enjoy a trip back in time! Daughter loves it I purchased this for my daughter, but ended up hearing it several times in pieces :) I can't say enough about Laura Linney's narration--she is wonderful! Immersion Reading Each Nancy Drew book has exitement , danger, and misceif. however,in the last book in the series The Mystery At Lilac Inn,you could switch to immersion reading in this book I found that you cannot. This was a downside to this book but I stilled enjoyed listening to the book itself Love a Good Dude Ranch.. The author does have a way with descriptive words that make you see the countryside as though you were there. Brings back memories. Sleuth Nancy Nancy, Bess, and George visit a horse ranch and are once again entangled in a mystery!

Then Michael and Emma find a man who saw them ten years ago - three days after they disappeared. He knows about a map of a distant land, a place shrouded in mystery that may lead them to their parents. Meanwhile, Kate's connection to the Book of Time is growing stronger and stronger, until a dangerous trick gets her stuck in the past, searching for a friend to help her. Only a perilous quest and a daring risk will help the children to harness the power of the Books of Beginning. But will it be enough to save them? Critic Reviews: "Irreverent humor and swashbuckling adventure collide in a fetching fantasy." (Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Great follow up to the Emerald Atlas In this second installment of the Books of Beginning, Kate, Michael and Emma have been sent to the Edgar Allen Poe Home for Children for their safety while Dr. Pym takes care of some needed tasks. It isn't long until the whereabouts of the children is discovered, forcing them to flee. Kate ends up going back in time and becoming trapped, while Michael and Emma remain in the present, searching for the Book of Life, known as the Fire Chronicle. While at times you will be reminded of Harry Potter, this story does set itself apart and is very entertaining in its own right. Narrated by Jim Dale, whose performance is flawless, as I've come to expect. Listening to Dale is like being tucked in to bed with an epic adventure about to begin. The second child ascendant What made the experience of listening to The Fire Chronicle the most enjoyable? Jim Dale's reading! Michael's growing maturity! Who was your favorite character and why? Michael & Emma Which scene was your favorite? Michael tricking the dragon Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Michael reviving his sister Any additional comments? One of the best children's books in many years. Better than Fablehaven, Maximum flight or Percy Jackson. My son is riveted. Great series! I love this series! Jim Dale is a great narrator and does a phenomenal job with this already epic story! This is fantasy at its finest. GREAT for a Book 2 of a trilogy Any additional comments? The 2nd book of any Trilogy has a tendency to lack significant action/conclusion on account of needing to set up a lot of plot line for the big finale--- but this book was different. The story really took on a character of its own with the kids going in different directions including in time and space. This story added a lot of depth to the series which was lacking a bit in the first book--- the plot line of the Emerald Atlas being a bit more whimsical. This is a great series for kids of the Harry Potter age group because although there is danger, death, and betrayal the stories maintain an underlying sense of humor/bewilderment and are very enjoyable. Even better than the first! The first book was good but the second book is better. Jim Dale killed it on narrating the story. So many cliff-hangers! On to book 3

We loved the book. We are trying to read/listen to each novel in the series about the Logan family. I sure enjoyed this story... So good. This is a very interesting series... I was touched by the things they suffered so wrongly... I highly recommend reading or listening to the entire set. Too Short What did you like best about Song of the Trees? What did you like least?

Title: Treasure Island Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Narrator: Michael Prichard Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 07-22-03 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 121 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: The family doctor recognizes the map as the key to a fortune. This commences a Caribbean treasure hunt, with the pirates only steps behind! Seventeen set sail, how many will return? This novel launched Stevenson on his long and fascinating writing career, and was the beginning of the pirate genre, with peg-legs, parrots, pieces-of-eight and the original Long John Silver. Critic Reviews: "With its dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic." (Amazon.com) Members Reviews: Truly a pleasure to listen too. The narrator really brought this classic to life. His changes in tone and speaking mannerisms truly has to be heard to be appreciated. I was engulfed once again in this classic tale of buccaneers. A must have! Yo Ho! Ho! and a Bottle of Rum This one was a pure delight. Stevenson's brilliantly woven narrative makes a gripping storyline. It was also fascinating to understand how much popular culture borrows from his work. It was definitely a classic worth the time. Aye Matey, well done! Who could not like "Treasure Island", Long John Silver, Jim Hawkins, the Admiral Benbow Inn? The quintessential pirate treasure tale, Stevenson's work is a better listen than read; I've found this true with much late 1800, early 1900 literature (like Huckleberry Finn). The reader does a great job. If your only experience has been printed, try a listen. Very well read Narrator does an excellent job!! Good price, reasonable narration, poor conversion. The biggest irritation of this audiobook is the fact that it was clearly harvested from a prior CD book. The phrase "This is the end of the CD. The program continues on the next CD." quickly becomes tiresome. When they merged the works, they could have easily dropped these lines. The audio quality, at first, seems slightly better than marginal, but as the narrator progresses, these quips melt away. The story comes through and draws the listener in. The work certainly would benefit from a fuller cast and better apparent sound quality, but the work succeeds at its current level. The biggest plus is the price. This price allows the listener to enjoy the work despite its short-comings. Overall, I'd recommend it while at the the same time acknowledging that I believe I would have enjoyed a more lively production. I still may.

But once Bobby enters the virtual world, will he be able to resist the lure of the ultimate in escapism? Critic Reviews: "The popular fantasy time-travel series makes a smooth transition to audio with Dufris at the helm, using his upbeat delivery and believable teen rhythms to keep listeners enthralled." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Ohhhhh I have to rush to book 5 now! What made the experience of listening to The Reality Bug the most enjoyable? I really loved this one! It was my fave out of the series so far! It was great to see Loor fighting alongside Bobby again and the Martix-esque world was super intriguing! I can't believe this is an MG series because i enjoy the heck out of it. I told myself I wouldn't start Black Water until i got more out my TBR list but not sure if that's a promise I can keep. I love Bobby Pendragon's world! Who was your favorite character and why? Loor! She's the perfect heroine! What about William Dufriss performance did you like? That he's super interactive! Whiny character voices If you actually LIKE overacting in movies and television programs, you will love this performance. I read these books as they came out in print and enjoyed all of them with the exception of the last book in the series. My problem with the audiobook lies with its voice actor. I would rather him read it in his normal voice than the whiny, overly sensitive voices that he gives every character. The guys normal voice is good enough. If you can get past that, the story is good. Long This book was definitely the longest book so far. Just when you thought the puzzle was solved, you would see that there is another seven hours...four hours2.5 hours left. And then when you think it's time to puzzle it out again, there's only 30 minutes left. It was really unique on its own. The author clearly you some new techniques that were quite different from the previous formulas. Captivated!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend the whole series to friends and have previously! I've tried to read this books a long time ago while I was young but never finished them. Now that I've have audible I've been going through each book wanting to know more about these territories! Have you listened to any of William Dufriss other performances before? How does this one compare? William Dufris's performances have been wonderful and I absolutely love how he add some flair while people are talking through the radio. Adding that radio speech really immerses me into thinking that the characters are talking through a radio. Not a huge fan of the narrator I just don't think his voice fits. Although the voice modulation on certain parts is cool and layering audio is a nice touch for when multiple people are speaking at the same time is a cool idea. Just can't get over how poorly the guy's voice fits the characters.

It is pretty good for long car rides. Review I liked that this book was really well real.each character has it's own unique features which makes it more realistic,but I also thought that this book was a little bit boring at the same time. But overall it's a good book. My boys said this one is the best yet My boys said this one is the best yet we listen to it in traffic and it was a peaceful couple of hours Best book ever I think that this book is great it is a little bit better than nancy Drew. Great Extremely exciting and gripping could not stop listening. I gave it 5 stars for a reason.

Title: It Ain't So Awful, Falafel Author: Firoozeh Dumas Narrator: Firoozeh Dumas Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 08-23-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Zomorod (Cindy) Yousefzadeh is the new kid on the block...for the fourth time. California's Newport Beach is her family's latest perch, and she's determined to shuck her brainy loner persona and start afresh with a new Brady Bunch name - Cindy. It's the late 1970s, and fitting in becomes more difficult as Iran makes US headlines with protests, revolution, and finally the taking of American hostages. Even mood rings and puka shell necklaces can't distract Cindy from the anti-Iran sentiments that creep way too close to home. A poignant yet lighthearted middle grade debut from the author of the best-selling Funny in Farsi. Members Reviews: You are gonna cry at the end, it's SOOOO happy! I couldn't stop listening to this book. It was that interesting! It's about acts of kindness. It's about how history is the stories of people and the battles they fight within. It's about being a foreigner in a strange country. And it's about the Iran Hostage Crisis of the late 1970s. It's about wanting and finding friends and the importance of family. But I can only say these things looking back on all the little events that happened in the story. While I was listening, I just wanted to find out what happened next. This is a good book for mature ten year olds and up. Nice for a family road trip. I am 65 and I loved it!!! It Ain't So Awful, Falafel It is a narrative of a sweet Iranian-American girl living in California the moment Iran's history changed and it started to be seing as an enemy of the US. It teaches a lot about being human before being from a country or following a religion. Highly recommended. Fascinating story to listen to! Congrats to the the Author Firoozeh Dumas, receiving the inaugural New Americans Children's history book prize. Firoozeh is a great story teller. She makes it so easy to picture each scene while she is capturing moments of history in her strong words with her warm voice. I have also listened to Funny in Farsi & Laughing without accent as well! Kudos to her. Fantastic book for all ages! I listened to this audiobook and really enjoyed it! I love to learn about other cultures especially when there is great humor involved. My daughters also listened and couldn't turn it off! The themes of kindness, and perseverance really spoke to them. I'd recommend this book to everyone! Wonderfully written and narrated. Listened to the audiobook everyday with my 9 year old son on the way to school. We both loved it and was sad when it ended. My son is excited to listen to more of her books.

Worse, he seems to be under Saint Dane's influence. It's up to Courtney to find Mark and stop him from making a grave mistake that could change the future of all existence. Members Reviews: Amazing series of books! Great series of books, I love them! I feel like some of the plot can be weak at times but overall I like it a lot. The reader of this audio book was kind of corny, but I got used to it. Over all a great audio book! I hope you have enjoyed our presentation j.k. R is dope af af af af af af af af af af af uniquely unique very nice I love this series! Nice voice changing! It feels very immersive! I even had dreams about the adventures of the travelers while I sleep when I listen to the audio book. I reccomend! Excellent! I love the Pendragon series, I could probably read it a thousand times over and I still wouldn't be tired of it. My only complaint would be Mr. Dufris' continuity errors in pronunciation. In the previous book, he pronounced "Ibara" as "eye-bar-a" and in this he pronounces it, "ih-bar-a", as in a short "I" and not a long one. Also, he pronounces "dados" as "day-doughs" in this book and "daa-doughs" in the previous. It wouldn't have been a big deal except for each book had a pronunciation I like and one I didn't like. Drove me crazy at first. Again, I know I'm being a stickler, but that's my only complaint, well, other than how he pronounces, "lived" it's the past participle of "to live" not some weird addition to the adjective "live". Simply stunning! This series is beyond amazing and I'm so glad to have stumbled upon it! The audio performance is superb and creates the world of Bobby Pendragon to the fullest extent!

Title: Al Capone Shines My Shoes Author: Gennifer Choldenko Narrator: Kirby Heyborne Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 09-08-09 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: It's 1935. Moose Flanagan lives on Alcatraz with his family, the other families of the guards, and a few hundred no-name hit men, con men, mad dog murderers and a handful of bank robbers too. And one of those cons has just done him a big favor. You see, Moose has never met Al Capone, but a few weeks ago Moose wrote a letter to him asking him to use his influence to get his sister, Natalie, into a school she desperately needs in San Francisco. After Natalie got accepted, a note appeared in Moose's freshly laundered shirt that said: Done. As this book begins, Moose discovers a new note. This one says: Your turn. Is it really from Capone? What does it mean? Moose can't risk anything that might get his dad fired. But how can he ignore Al Capone? Critic Reviews: "Choldenko hits a grand slam...Effortless period dialogue, fully developed secondary characters and a perfectly paced plot." (Kirkus) Members Reviews: A very interesting and captivating story The al Capone series are well written and interesting. The reader does a good job impersonating all the characters. Good sequel What made the experience of listening to Al Capone Shines My Shoes the most enjoyable? I bought it for my kids so they could read along. Audible books are great for kids learning how to read chapter books and also for adults who want to multi-task and listen and do other things at the same time. Who was your favorite character and why? Moose Flanagan because he's responsible and smart. He cares about his sister Natalie very much. What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I don't like reading aloud to my kids unless it's a short picture book because it makes my mouth tired. Having a good reader with inflections helps them follow along with the story better. 11 Year old loved It! If you could sum up Al Capone Shines My Shoes in three words, what would they be? The best book! Who was your favorite character and why? Moose because he was very adventurous. What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings excitement to the book by doing a variety of voices in a way that I would picture them. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, because it was 7 hours long and I was reading it for my home reading project. I had to read 20 minutes a day. Any additional comments? My 11 year old son who is reluctant to read loved this book AND loved using the Audible download. Having this service is wonderful for a kid who isn't really into reading or struggles with reading. Audible makes him look forward to his 20 minute a day reading project instead of dreading it. Thank you for helping this mom help her son. (My son wrote the reviewer comments about the book himself). ;) Another Good Book I like how the author turns history into a very interesting story. Kirby Heyborne is a great narrator! Not working at all!! I bought this book and the Audible for me and my siblings, but the narration only lasted until the fifth page. It was a complete waste of time and money.

So You Want to Be a Wizard Audiobook by Diane Duane

Title: So You Want to Be a Wizard Subtitle: Young Wizard Series, Book 1 Author: Diane Duane Narrator: Christina Moore Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-04 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 942 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Ranked with the best of Madeleine L'Engle and Diana Wynne Jones, Diane Duane's magical tale of wizardry and wisdom has become a modern fantasy classic. Christina Moore's delightful narration captures all the excitement and danger in this thrilling fantasy adventure. Editorial Reviews: Why You Should Download This Audiobook: The most famous young wizard of all time (who shall not be conjured here) has quite a few precursors: Ursula K. Le Guin's is one, and Nita, in this delightful book, is another. If you appreciate fun fantasy filled with adventure and wonderment, we won't harry you. We simply and emphatically recommend you don Ms. Duane's brilliant gem. Members Reviews: Not quite Harry Potter ... better This series has been compared time and time again to the Harry Potter books, and, though I love HP, these series are NOT the same. You have a set of young friends, who are wizards, who fight against dark forces and deal with life's issues. But that is where the similarity ends. The wizardry books are more imaginative, filled with different beings, different worlds, creative and twist turning adventures that will leave readers wanting more and waiting impatiently to download the next edition. Not only is the story incredible but the narrarator is the best I've heard yet. Each character's voice is distinct and believable and allows you to immerse yourself completely in the story. This is a great series for for children and adults alike. I love it. I'm hooked. I'd have to say this is better than the first three Harry Potter books, but it seems to me that the comparison isn't a very good one. I'm a Potter addict, mind you, but where the HP books sometimes fall into silliness, in particular with the magic, this is more like one of the Heinlein Juveniles, except with fantasy instead of sci-fi. (And there's just a hint of sci-fi.) The story is intelligent and well thought out, and the characters are convincing and endearing. Like the Heinlein Juveniles, it doesn't talk to the reader like a baby or stick to one-syllable words. Oh, and the reader is superb to the point that when I finish this series, I will look at what else she has done to see if anything gets my attention. High hopes for this series-- I bought the second and third immediately after finishing this one. Loved it! If you could sum up So You Want to Be a Wizard in three words, what would they be? Fun, Gripping, Youthful What about Christina Moore???s performance did you like? Excellent voices and she really keeps the story moving along. One of my favorite readers so far. Awesome job Christina! Any additional comments? The story is great for young readers and old alike. Listened to it with my kids (8 & 9) and they really liked it. What a fantastic novel, I really enjoyed this one. An Old Favourite Come to Life My mother read Diane Duane's Young Wizard Series to me when I was a child and I love them every bit as much now as I did then. The series has a timelessness to it that make's it a pure joy for readers of any age. Having 'So You Want to Be a Wizard' read out loud to me again for the first time in years was wonderful fun. Christina Moore, the narrator, does a beautiful job of bring Nita, Kit, and Fred to life.

Identical twins Fifer and Thisbe Stowe have amazing yet uncontrollable magical abilities. They're naturally more gifted than even their brother, Alex, the head mage of Artimé, could hope to be. But when they accidentally use their magic in the jungle of Artimé to strike down a beloved creature, Alex is furious and threatens to lock them away until they can learn to control their power. The threat is soon forgotten, though, when Hux, the ice blue dragon, comes to Artimé bearing the horrible news that his siblings have been enslaved by the notoriously evil Revinir, ruler of the dragon land. Seeking a chance to right their wrong and escape their brother's wrath, Thisbe, Fifer, and their friend Seth sneak away to rescue the dragons from grave peril. Will their untrained abilities be enough to save the dragons - and themselves - when they come face-to-face with the Revinir? Members Reviews: Simba Voice It's really too bad that Steve West was unable to do narration for this book as he had done in previous 7 books because he did a flawless job. Fiona Hardingham should have listened more to previous books. She really messed up Simba's voice and so many of the other voices were nit distinctive enough ti always know who was speaking. I hope future books have Steve West and if he's not available perhaps look for someone else. Not consistent narration After having listened to previous books in series, it difficult to have the voices of the characters be so drastically different in this book. I.e. Simba's voice changes from a gruff growly voice in the previous to a slow southern drawl here... Very disconcerting. Story still good... Not a fan of narrator Did not enjoy the narration for this book probably because I listened to all the other books. Simber having a southern drawl just didn't work. poor performance. I love the book but i dOnt like the narrator i prefer Steve West.Hope the next series will be read by Steve West. Great story, not a fan of narrator... Loved the story, not crazy about the narrator, I guess Im just used to the one that narrated The Unwanteds books. I prefer Simber to NOT have a southern drawl, and the pronunciation of some of the names threw me for a bit since they were pronounced completely different than in The Unwanteds books.

Recommend these books Enjoyable classic read well 7-yr-old daughter loves listening to this book! She's listened to the whole thing at least 10 times in 3 months. Also, the narrator is great - and I am quite picky about narrators. Great Family Read Aloud I loved this series growing up, and I have enjoyed sharing it with my children (girl, 9 and boy, 7)! However, I have really enjoyed having the audible version this time around! The reader does an excellent job of voicing the characters so that you remember that many of them are immigrants! AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY Recommended This was a sweet, wholesome story that my five year old daughter and I both enjoyed! It is a story about simple things like lost library books, family celebrations, eating soup, and going to the beach. It held our attention to the point where the story had to be paused if one of us needed to leave the room. ok book I liked this book but feel it is geared to pre-teen and early teens. should be in that category.

Baker Narrator: Katherine Kellgren Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-05 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 230 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Princess Emma will do just about anything to get out of marrying the self-centered Prince Jorge. So when she meets a frog named Eadric who claims, of course, to be a prince, she decides to give him a kiss and see what happens. Bad idea. The frog stays a frog, and worse still, Emma turns into a frog herself. It turns out only the person who cast the spell can break it, so Emma and Eadric are soon hopping along trying to find the witch who can make them human again. This clever twist on the classic fairy tale is full of good-natured fun and romance. (P)2005 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: Enjoyable for the whole family This is a great book for a family car trip. We all enjoyed it - from my eight-year-old daughter through my teenaged sons (honestly!) to me. No one even minded listening to sections again so that others could catch up. Excellent Enjoyable for the whole family This is a story written primarily for children but which is certainly enjoyable even if you are an adult. The story is simple enough for a child to follow, but has enough twists to keep an adult interested. There are occasional sidelong references to common sayings or phrases that adults will find amusing but which will be unnoticed by a younger listener who isnt as familiar with Englishs idioms. The narrator is excellent. She differentiates the voices well and tells the story with apparent enthusiasm. I think that anyone over the age of five will enjoy this book, and, while an adult will also enjoy it, it really would rate only three stars for folks over 18. Listen to this one while on an automobile trip with kids and everyone will have a good time. Loren i was entertained a great childrens story humorus adventure were kissing the frog well... didnt have the expected results ive listened several times a nice walk into childhood emagination loved it Entertaining! My children (11, 8 and 5) all enjoyed listening to this "modern" fairy tale while on a roadtrip. The story is entertaining, humorous and made the trip all the more pleasant. my 5 year old grandson loved this book. fun story for kids and adults to listen to. great reader. I enjoyed it along with my 11 year old granddaughter and 5 year old grandson.

True, coming back to school after a month spent fighting - and defeating - adult superheroes is a bit of a comedown for the Inscrutable Machine. When offered the chance to skip school in the most dramatic way possible, Penelope Akk can't resist. With the help of a giant spider and mysterious red goo, she builds a spaceship and flies to Jupiter. Mutant goats. Secret human colonies. A war between three alien races with humanity as the prize. Robot overlords and evil plots. Penny and her friends find all this and more on Jupiter's moons, but what they don't find are any heroes to save the day. Fortunately, they have an angry 11-year-old and a whole lot of mad science.... Members Reviews: Step backwards for the story Any additional comments? I enjoyed the previous book. It was a story of children becoming teenagers and dealing with those kinds of things in a PG way. The awakening of their powers and puberty are clearly overlapping. I was expecting the gang to grow up more and develop some of the interesting characters that were introduced in book one. Instead we have cookie cutter new characters and forced sub-plots that build off of nothing from the previous book. It's like the whole cast was in a bubble. Almost no characters from the previous book are developed in this one. Even the main characters seem to freeze if not take a step back from their development. On top of all the lack of character depth the story is incoherent. It jumps paragraph to paragraph with very little reason. purpose or transition. You will stop to go back 30 seconds to realize you missed nothing the story just abruptly changed for 'reasons'. Given how much I enjoyed the first book, this is clearly a disappointing step backwards. I still give it a 3 out of 5. The narrator is excellent as well. I hope the next addition to this series improves. What Happened!?! What could Richard Roberts have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? What happened to this book? I loved the first one and so couldn't wait to pick up this second book. Instead of continuing with what was started in book one, our villains are thrown into outer space with a completely bran new cast of characters. Sadly, there were so many that I found myself getting confused by who was who and why I should bather investing time in them or not. I felt that this story did not flow as well. Having to rewind the story several times to make sure I did miss a segment or miss hear another took me out of the story. One of the new main characters was so screechy that I felt like I had to plug my ears when she was on. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone and I am not even sure I will attempt the third book. Maybe in a couple months this book will have faded from my memory, but mostly, I think I will not be continuing. Which is sad, as I really thought that this author had something with the first book. Sequel done wrong Never seen a story start and end at the same place this bad before. You could sum up the story in five sentences, trust me I did. The interpersonal relationships of our trio devolves and never shows back up.

Hes survived it all due to luck, smarts, and his older sister, Amy, who always sticks by his side. Now Dan and Amy are facing their greatest threat yet, an enemy who has found a way to use the source of the Cahill family power against them. To stop him, Dan and Amy must set out on a desperate mission that will take them from one of the worlds hottest regions all the way to the frozen blast of the Arctic Circle. But with the enemy closing in, Dan finds himself facing one terror he never imagined - being betrayed by his own sister. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: Good Story, Subpar reading I don't like Pittu's narration. His voices for some characters sound too similar, and for others, they don't make sense. Atticus Rosenbloom is ten years old and is described as hyper. Why would Pittu choose a voice that makes Atticus sound like a wheezing old man? this is the best book ever published The book makes you think that you are there .... .... .... .... ... ... . THIS IS NOT BOOK 2! Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I got very confused when I first started listening to this after listening to book 1: The Maze of Bones. It is very clear within a couple minutes of starting chapter 2 that there is a whole book missing between The Maze of Bones and Unstoppable. I don't know why Audible has it mislabeled, but this is actually book 3 in the series; One False Note is the second book. What could Jeff Hirsch have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? My problem is strictly with Audible labeling this as the second book. I'm sure that once I have finished the real second book that I will enjoy this one. How could the performance have been better? What little I listened to was good. Could you see The 39 Clues: Unstoppable, Book 2 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? They would probably need to use multiple books to make a good movie, but it could work. GOOD SECOND BOOK I enjoyed all the 39 Clues books. They do get kind of same-o-same, but for kids it can be exciting.

Ganser Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 311 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Multiple award-winning author Michael Buckley's New York Times best-selling Sisters Grimm series is phenomenally popular. In their fourth adventure, Sabrina, Daphne, Granny Relda, and Puck hit the streets of New York City to search for Puck's family. They quickly get wrapped up in a murder investigation, however, when a maniacal Everafter is discovered to be on the loose. Members Reviews: One of my son's favorite series! My then 12 year old just adored this series. He devoured it and would stay up late at night listening. I would highly recommend this series for anyone in his age range. Especially if the child likes updated versions of fairy tales. excellent! This story was funny and funnier!! The realistic and dramatic voice was wonderful as well. I'm fascinated with THE SISTERS GRIMM. I have read 5 books of the series so far. Not one book of them let me down! Especially #4 is my favorite. Wonderful start to a very engaging series My daughter LOVED this series and this book in particular. This is a great light listen, and extremely appropriate for children under 10, especially girls. I thought this book was extremely well written and the story was very enjoyable. My daughter would give it 5 stars across the board, I gave it 4 because I like to save the 5 stars for books that I (that is ME) can't put down. If I could I would probably give this book 4.5 stars...the only thing that keeps this from 5 stars is because it is very much so a children's book and thus was just a bit predictable for an adult. That said, the main characters of this book are strong, relatable female characters that I liked my daughter to listen to. I felt that they showed her how young girls could be strong and demonstrated how sisters should look out for each other. I highly recommend this novel for people with young girls and who want to listen to something together. I also recommend it to anybody with children (of any sort), or for adults who enjoy books with the light atmosphere of "young adult/children" stories like atmosphere of the early books of Harry Potter or the Septimus Heap books. Now that I have said that I should clarify that this book only compares to HP and SP in the style/tone of the story...the plot and everything else are NOTHING like HP and SP. I would describe the The Sisters Grimm as a "fairy tale/fantasy realism/mystery/detective children???s novel. NOT "swords and magic fantasy". But the at ARGH! I love these books but each book ends with a cliff-hanger! So far the events make us laugh and we have been having a great time. The silly comments from the girls like Freakazoid, Punk Rock and more. Just plain fun! Love the series, but this is the best book I have listened to this series over and over again for years. It is perfect for listening at work. The narrator is awesome. He is able to have distinct voices during conversations between Granny Relda, her two granddaughters and various fairy tale characters. Puck has always been my favorite character and inn this book you get to see a different side of him.

Steven and his fellow winner, Susan Carol Anderson, are nosing around the Superdome and overhear what sounds like a threat to throw the championship game. Now they have just 48 hours to figure out who is blackmailing one of MSU's star players and why. Members Reviews: Incredible!!!!!!!!! Incredible book narrated by Feinstein himself! Great story. Maybe too immature for adults but great for me! Enjoyable for kids and basketball fans Yes, this was directed at young teenagers, but it has enough of the interesting details for avid college basketball fans. Some of the "inside" descriptions are a nice touch. The names are different than the publisher's summary though. Good listen for basketball junkies-young and old I enjoyed this audiobook, probably because, like the author, I'm a basketball junkie myself. He does a good job of integrating real people and a real event (the Final Four) with the fictional characters and the mysterious plot that the 2 young writers discover. His perspective from the point of view of an adolescent boy must be somewhat autobiographical because it seemed very real to me. I thought the author did a good job of narrating, better than most other authors I have heard. Book club hit We read this for my sons book club ages 12-13. They all really liked it. Great story, mediocre narration This book made a long car ride with my two sons, ages 8 and 10, a lot of fun. They loved that the main characters were kids and they really got into all the backstage information on the final four. The story is about the two young sports journalists who are at the final four because they won a contest and they overhear one of the star players being presured to throw a game. In order to enjoy this book, you have to accept the flimsey resons why the kids look into this themselves without asking any of the gorwn-ups for help. If you can make that leap of belief, the rest if the story is enjoyable. Somebody else should have narrated the book, though. John Feinstein is a great writer but a bad narrator.

It has been four seasons since his warrior-mouse daughter, Mariel, and her companion, Dandin, set off from Redwall to fight evil in Mossflower. Nothing has been heard of them since. Then one night, in a dream, the legendary Martin the Warrior comes to the Bellmaker with a mysterious message. Clearly, Mariel and Dandin are in grave danger. Joseph and four Redwallers set off at once to aid them. As they push over land and sea, they cannot know the terrible threats they face: the impossible Foxwolf, Urgan Nagru, his mate Silvamord, and their vicious rat hordes. Can the impetuous sailor-otter Finbarr Galedeep help them cross the sea? What is the mystery of Roaringburn? And most important, will the Bellmaker and his companions arrive in time to help Mariel and Dandin? Members Reviews: An Excellent Work A tale of adventure, friendship, battles, and food. Told by a full cast of actors complete with occasional singing. Listeners beware, numerous descriptions of food may make one hungry. good story the story fit well with the others of the redwall collection. the cast brought the book and character to life. while hints were left to the links to previous books, no direct mention it made about reunions or special weapons... the books were not written in a specific order, so it is understandable. as opposed to "outcast of redwall", a character in this book findshis way to become a good rat, despite his up-bringing. he sees the right way to live and follows it in the face of certain death. i would highly recommend this book for teen and adults, but children my not understand the trials of stream-battle and mutta. Sequel to Mariel This was an extremely captivating story. I found myself just as caught up as I had been when I first read Mariel of Redwall. It had some extremely sad moments, some tense fight scenes, and new twists that always seem to draw me back to Brian Jacques. I love that he narrates most of his books personally, and the fact that he has a full cast to fill the roles is absolutely my favourite experience. Great book Great story even better the 2nd or 3rd I've read it full of adventure great characters great battles really good sound is awful I love the Redwall books but I could understand 90% of what Brian was reading. Waste of a credit for me...

Title: The Goldfish Boy Author: Lisa Thompson Narrator: Leon Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 03-01-17 Publisher: Scholastic Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: In this riveting debut, a boy struggling with OCD is uniquely qualified to solve a kidnapping. Lisa Thompson's debut novel is a pause-resisting mystery with an emotionally driven, complex character study at its core - like Rear Window meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Matthew Corbin suffers from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. He hasn't been to school in weeks. His hands are cracked and bleeding from cleaning. He refuses to leave his bedroom. To pass the time, he observes his neighbors from his bedroom window, making mundane notes about their habits as they bustle about the cul-de-sac. When a toddler staying next door goes missing, it becomes apparent that Matthew was the last person to see him alive. Suddenly, Matthew finds himself at the center of a high-stakes mystery, and every one of his neighbors is a suspect. Matthew is the key to figuring out what happened and potentially saving a child's life...but is he able to do so if it means exposing his own secrets and stepping out from the safety of his home? Critic Reviews: "This story is an emotional roller-coaster ride, and narrator Leon Williams treats each twist and turn with depth and passion, holding listeners in rapt attention to the end. He provides a spectacular portrayal of 12-year-old Matthew... Williams takes listeners from one emotion to the next, anxious, horrified, hopeful, heartbroken, and relieved, all in one performance." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Great Mystery That Sheds Light on OCD Loved the twists and turns in those book. Such a fun read! Very good This book kept me on the edge of my seat and handled the character of Matthew very well. Great and entertaining. Four Stars Enjoyed reading it with my 4th grader! I am a special ed teacher and I loved this Wish it was an ar book so that my kids would read it. I am a special ed teacher and I loved this book A boy afraid to leave his room witnesses important information about a crime The Goldfish Boy is about Matthew, a boy with extreme OCD. He is called the Goldfish Boy, because he is afraid to leave the safety of his room and is thought of as a goldfish in a tank. Because of his mental condition, people don't understand him well and when a young child goes missing, Matthew is caught in the middle. I found this to be an interesting book that was quick to read. The action moves at a quick pace and keeps the reader engaged, especially since the text is broken up with emails. Matthew is a fascinating character and I was really rooting for him to solve the mystery of the boy's disappearance. My kids also read this book and enjoyed it. It's recommended for 8 to 12 year olds. I'd guess that some younger readers may be bothered by the disappearance of a young child, but the author handled it well and it's not a major disconcerting plot point. The story mainly focuses on Matthew and how he deals with his OCD. I think the book would be good for older readers too, like those in middle school.

But Neftalí is not like other children. How he reconciles his own dreams with his fathers is at the heart of this profoundly moving story of the life of poet Pablo Neruda. From the time he is a young boy, Neftalí hears the call of a mysterious voice. Even when the neighborhood children taunt him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him, and when he doubts himself, Neftalí knows he cannot ignore the call. Under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain, he listens and he follows. Combining elements of magical realism with biography, poetry, and literary fiction, Pam Muñoz Ryan takes listeners on a rare journey of the heart and imagination. Members Reviews: This was inspirational and it helps us understand that no matter what people says we are capable of anything Like a said this is inspirational and I love to recommend this to others.

Title: The Strange Case of Origami Yoda Author: Tom Angleberger Narrator: Greg Steinbruner, Jonathan Ross, Julia Gibson, Charlotte Parry, Mark Turetsky Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 03-29-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 286 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: A journalist and fiction author, Tom Angleberger has a knack for capturing the lives of todays youth. In The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, socially awkward Dwight shows up to school one morning waving a green finger puppet. Strange enough, but then Dwight starts talking in a funny voice and doling out advice. Is it the puppet, or is it Dwight? And will paper Yoda be able to help Dwight convince the girl of his dreams to go to the big dance with him? Critic Reviews: Anglebergers rendering of such a middle-grade cult obsession is not only spot-on but also reveals a few resonant surprises hidden in the folds. ( Booklist) Members Reviews: More appealing to kids than adults When my sons and I listen to audiobooks, I usually enjoy them as much as the kids. This wasn't one of those times. That said, my 11 year old son finished the book in just a few sittings, on an airplane. He said this wasn't his favorite and wasn't interested in listening to the sequels, but clearly it held his interest while he was listening. His biggest complaint was that the focus of the story was on dating and relationships, and he assumed from the title it would be mostly tied in to Star Wars. This is a popular series so I assume our experience is an anomaly, but wanted to share our thoughts in case you have a kid who doesn't like relationship drama, or like me want to find books you both enjoy. my boy's loved it Great read for a family road trip. My 12 year old boys loved it. Good story, funny, and good morals. Interesting... kids liked it This is a good book for elementary and middle schoolers. It presents an inventive way to tackle subjects and concerns for that age group. Listening to the story, I don't think kids would understand right off that they are being given advice on how to handle that stage of life, and all of the ordinary but uncomfortable things they face. 6th Graders Love This! After listening to this story I decided to have my reluctant readers read it together. They love it! After each chapter the students write done the main idea of the chapter, and make a comment. Their comments are on the advice that was given by Origami Yoda. Sometimes they come up with alternative solutions. They can relate to the story because they are in 6th grade just like the characters in the book. We are even doing origami together. Eventually we will try to create Origami Yoda. They are very interested in reading Darth Paper next. Awsome book This book is amazingly funny and interesting I originally thought it would be horrible it rocks take this info from a 4th grader

For in this society, witches are outlawed, whether they are good or bad. In fact, witches are burned at the stake, because that's the law. Since nobody really wants to be burned at the stake, each student is desperate to prove somebody else is the guilty party. As the accusations fly, only the great enchanter Chrestomanci can root out the truth. With an irresistible blend of magic and humor, Witch Week is sure to be enjoyed by children of all ages. ©2005 Diana Wynne Jones; (P)2005 Recorded Books, LLC Members Reviews: Not just for children Excellent young adult book that adults would like as well. For the first time, after seeing reviews that say if you like Harry Potter you will like this book, do I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and wish more of Diana Wynne Jones' books were available in audio. Alternate historys in fantasy world settings What did you love best about Witch Week? Diana Wynne Jones has been one of my favorite authors for over thirty years. I bought "A Tale Of Time City," when I was young and fell in love with her writing style immediately. She creates such a vivid world that holds it own life. Her characters in this book cover a full spectrum from nice to naughty, from mean to bullied and from popular to vilified.This story is based in England in the boarding school system of England. The characters are in a forced schooling system and Diana creates a dark unhappy image of that alternate world school system. The story builds including more and more characters bringing them together nicely for the conclusion of this wonderful story.There are a few weak spots in Gerard Doyle's reading style but as a whole this is a great book and a good choice. It's worth a listen and his great for young people age 12 and up. What did you like best about this story? The character development and twisty and turning plot. The integration of variety of sub-plots and characters makes me want to listen/read this story over and over again. What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He is a pleasant reader, his pronunciation of certain words in the English, (not American language) make his reading easy and interesting to listen too. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? This book is unabridged and may be too long for just one sitting unless you have a significant time to book listening. This is a great title to listen to when you're doing long range road trips though. Any additional comments? This is a great classic Diana Wynne Jones title. I read this book originally perhaps third in my quest to keep up with her work. It is one of the reasons I kept reading her work into adulthood. Fantastically Awesome This book is full of twists and turns that make it a wonder to listen to. It is hilarious and read very well. wonderful! This book is fantastic. I love how the reader keeps you wanting to hear more. the writer is wonderful. as i listen i can actually see and live with the characters. a great book for long trips with any age. Favorite chrestomanci book Really fun ideas and individual stories. I really enjoyed the problem at hand and the way the perspective swapped between different characters.

Petey Audiobook by Ben Mikaelsen

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/645/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Petey Author: Ben Mikaelsen Narrator: L. J. Ganser Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 08-12-09 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 47 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Then another young resident, Calvin Anders, arrives in Petey's ward. As he learns to understand Petey's garbled sounds, Calvin becomes his spokesman and best friend. Years later, however, they are separated when Petey is moved to a nursing home. Alone and withdrawn, Petey wonders if he will ever find another person who understands him. Ben Mikaelsen, award-winning author of Rescue Josh McGuire, Stranded, and other popular books for young adults, has crafted a poignant tale of friendship and triumph over disabilities. Petey was chosen by the New York Public Library as one of its 100 Books for Reading and Sharing, and it won the Western Writers of America Award. Members Reviews: GREAT BOOK I enjoyed this bool. I had to read it for class but I opt tp listen to it. The reader bought the characters to life and made me feel like I knew all of them. Inspiring!!! Be prepared to laugh and cry. Thank you Ben Mikaelson for sharing Petey's life story!!! Difficult to find the right spot What did you like best about Petey? What did you like least? I used this audio version for my 6th grade Language Arts classes. While the reading itself (the narrator) is very well-done, the way that the audio is broken up is very inconvenient. The book on audio is separated into sections rather than by chapters--this makes it very difficult to find the correct spot to start from.

David Baldacci is the author of 23 books for adults, each of which has become both a national and international best seller. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Editorial Reviews: In Day of Doom, the legendary struggle between the Cahill family and the menacing Vespers finally comes to a head. A virtuoso performance from theater and voice actor David Pittu enhances the action, drama, and emotion as brave Cahill siblings Amy and Dan figure out Vesper One's terrifying endgame. It's up to Amy and Dan to stop the Vespers - or watch the world come to an end. Fast-paced and thrilling, the startling conclusion to this popular series is a must-listen. Members Reviews: GOOD ENDING This last book of the Vespers vs Cahills was a surprise to me. New it had to end, but the ending, sort of floored me. Very good though The whole series was good. Not as bad as I thought Any additional comments? After reading other reviews I almost didn't get this book. To make the collection complete, I did. This isn't as bad as some of the reviews make it out. Baldacci doesn't kill off everybody. Dan is back to being Dan and I liked that. It is a good finish and the right prevails which is what is supposed to happen. It is worth the read. The other bad reviews stink! Where does Cahills vs. Vespers, Book 6: Day of Doom rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Over all the books I've ever listened to, this book is on average. Who was your favorite character and why? I totally love Amy, she is so much like my self. Which character as performed by David Pittu was your favorite? Didn't have a favorite If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? n/a Any additional comments? So I was always going to read this book, I loved the whole series, but I read the reviews that said this book stinks. But I loved it! yes, it ended too quickly, but on the whole this was a totally great book. I was well pleased with the reading and with the story. too much swearing all the other authors did a good job in the series. this author used swearing which is totally unnecessary in a children's book and his writing wasn't any better than the other authors. Please let it end Maybe I'm alone on this one, but I think this series needs to end already. 39 clues, great, this one, decent, but they should have left it at that. I tried to start the first book in the next series, but can't. This book raps everything up so nicely, leaving some to the imagination of the reader which I always like. But oh well. Naturally this whole series has issues because of the multiple authors, but overall this one wasn't bad. It was certainly the best of the six.

MacHale Narrator: William Dufris Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 05-12-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 229 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: This is the war for Halla. Every question is answered. Every truth is revealed. The final battle has begun. Members Reviews: To the end, What An Amazing Ride! Bobby Pendragon is now a family institution. I have re-read this entire series four or five times now. This last instalment is definately more emotionally mature than book one, but then Bobby and crew are much older, and they've been through lots of refining fire. Mr. MacHale's writing in such a way that I, as the reader, know only what the point of view characters know has been brilliant throughout the series and the pay off in this book is huge. Book 9, Raven Rise, left me hanging. The Soldiers of Halla opens with explenation of who Bobby really is. By the end of the book, I cry happy tears in the last chapter every time. The battle for Halla, and between Bobby and Saint Dane is classic good verses evil. Freedom of choice verses totalitarianism. I am greatful that my kids can read this and see brave kids making hard but good decisions, even when it hurts them to do so. I have two daughters who also love these books. My 11 year old first started this series when she was 9 and has re-read the series twice. She always wants these books to be on her kindle and her mp3. Thanks to Mr. MacHale she is becoming an avid reader. Mr. Dufris has taken lots of abuse in reviews. I completely disagree. His reading is magical. The voice he uses has always been apropriate to the book he is narating. He brings the stories to life and is consistant across the series. There are far worse narrators in the audible panthion. And So We Go... This is the way it was meant to be. Hobey-ho, let's go! Before I begin, let me start by saying I'm going to treat this review as a sum of the entire series, considering the same narrator (William Dufris) is throughout the entirety of this absolutely wonderful book series written by D. J. MacHale. Also, I'm assuming you're not going to try and read the series out of order. WARNING; Small spoilers ahead. (Nothing so grievous as to ruin the story!) Pendragon. It is a name I haven't forgotten since I read the series back in my high-school days. I remember asking the school librarian for a good fantasy or sci-fi to read, telling her that I had tried the popular ones and couldn't get hooked. She thought for a moment, wracking her brain before suggesting I give the Merchant of Death a try. Boy, am I glad I did! While all of my other nerdy, geeky friends were invested in Harry Potter and/or Lord of the Rings, my eyes were glued to the pages of D. J. MacHale's novel. From the very beginning, the style of writing had me absolutely enthralled. The story all the way back in book one starts off with your average middle-school boy, Bobby Pendragon, being thrown through space and time with his distant (and totally cool!) relative, Uncle Press, to a world unlike the Earth we're so familiar with. As each book in this ten-book series progresses, the plot becomes thicker with mysteries, drama, and action until the final installment of the Pendragon series; The Soldiers of Halla.

Members Reviews: review by 9 year old I realy liked this book and i think every one could enjoy this book . Amazing Love it! The narrator was great and the excitement in her voice kept the story moving along. A good start for the sequel series I am always hesitant to get in to sequels to the original series so we waited a while to start these books. All I can say is that I'm kind of bummed we waited although now our family can go through multiple books without having to wait. I'm glad the original main characters are still around in this series yet we meet new friends and foes and better yet; the threat has changed. It doesn't feel like a repeat as sequels often do. Well done! My kids enjoyed this book immensely! good read Very enjoyable, I hope that many more books will be written with this concept. I find it very intriguing. Just stopped mid story This book didn't seem to have an end unlike the other books I've enjoyed so much. Like the second half was not published.

David Pittu shines as always. Preposition Please pronounce the African languages correctly and the words the the people say like when you say Xhosa thank you just read it i cannot comment on every writer individually because the books sort of ran together for me during a week trip. I read them all and cannot pinpoint every writer. I can say that they were all wonderful and have great stories mixed with history and geography. They can teach in a great fun exciting atmosphere.

Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: A Face Like Glass is an astonishing and imaginative novel from the Costa Award-winning author of The Lie Tree, Frances Hardinge. In the underground city of Caverna, the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare - wines that can remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate, and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned, and only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair, or fear - at a price. Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed. Critic Reviews: "Narrator Kevin T. Collins's style is affecting as he delivers this engaging novel, which is rich with backstories. When Cheesemaster Grandible finds Neverfell, a 5-year-old human, in a cheese vat, he's as shocked as she is. The contrast between grumpy, reclusive Grandible and his young adoptee is perfectly rendered by Collins. They live in Caverna, an underground city where babies are born without facial expressions, which must be taught by 'facesmiths.' The wealthy have only the best of everything, for example, wine that erases memories and cheese that reveals the future, which the drudges must supply. Listeners will be transported to Caverna by Collins's vivid descriptions of the strange place and even more peculiar people. After seven years, Neverfell's maturity is audible as she observes the inequality that surrounds her when she leaves the safety of Grandible's home. Her fear will be shared by listeners as she realizes that she's in danger because of her expressive face. The touching epilogue brings a satisfying conclusion." (AudioFile Magazine) Members Reviews: really fun story, funny and exciting. main character is enduring and brave. the story is full of clever ideas that keep your imagination spinning. the plot twists and is a happy story after all. Best fiction I've ever read. The language was so unconventional but so understandable. The story was delightful! The experience was great for kids and adults alike. Truly original story Stick with this story. The twists and turns come fast. Once you accept the premise (underground people whose faces are incapable of natural expressions) , you are hooked. Recommended! oh my boring It was a struggle to finish. I feel like I should have read it before listening to it because the narrator bored me to sleep. I love the reader The performance was amazing. Good job to the reader, I could listen to him all day.

But backfire it did: some nights when the kids go to sleep, they wake up in one of the Disney parks as holograms. The five teens have twice thwarted evil plots masterminded by Maleficent; but now Finn, Philby, Willa, Charlene, and Maybeck have another problem: Wayne, their mentor and head Imagineer, has mysteriously gone missing. Concerned that Wayne has been abducted by the Overtakers, the kids pick up a major clue from a close friend, Jess, whose dreams (nightmares, really) often accurately predict the future. This time, the clues from Jesss dream lead the kids into Disneys Hollywood Studios and Epcot. Each clue seems tied to the last, and with the stakes growing ever higher, what starts out as a puzzle ends up as a fight for their lives. As they quest for a sword, take rides on Soarin and Maelstrom, have life-and-death encounters with a giant snake, and attempt to stop Maleficent, the Kingdom Keepers not only begin to decipher deeper meanings in the clues, but discover new truths about themselves and their ever-growing friendships. Members Reviews: Disney in Shadow Love the book - I really enjoyed the first two as well. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because of the narration. It was good for most of the story, but I didn't care for how he voiced the girls. A little too "valley girl" for me.

This book also gives the reader a lot of history on America. It's amazing how interesting they can make it! Listening to it again and again Our daughter has been entranced by Kaya and the exceptionally well read stories about her and her people since she started listening to it. We have now heard through it no less than five times. We are happy to have a balance to the white settler stories like Little House on the Prarie (also a great book, but concerning in its critique of native people) for our daughters. I have been nearly equally as intrigued... I think the much begged for trip to Idaho to visit the Nez Perce people may actually happen.... Great book This is a really good book I strongly recommend this book to any one of any age Great Family read! My daughter and I loved it! A fun yet educational story. We felt like we were going back in time experiencing all the adventures with Kaya. Were even talking about planing a small trip to Idaho. This was such a great story! I loved the way you made the fire so real! Thanks for making such a great story to share! You made it very hard to think what was going to happen next. Thanks!

Sterling and the playful Rascal spring vividly from the pages with narrator Ed Sala's sense of fun and drama. Members Reviews: Very Enjoyable Sterling North was born around the same year as my grandmother, 1906. She was one of eight children and two of her brothers fought in WWI "The War to End all Wars" in the Navy on the same ship. I have always been interested in what it might have been like during the time she grew up as a child. This doesn't get close to her life except in that Sterling had a brother fighting in Europe and that he also got sick with the Spanish Flu. I remember my grandmother saying that her family was spread out around the world during the Spanish Flu pandemic and that they were lucky that not one of them died from it. Both things I remember my grandmother talking about. This story read by Ed Sala is one of the best audio books I've listened to. My twin boys listened to it when they were about five and really enjoyed it. Organization of the chapters is a downfall The story is very good, the narrator very good, but there should be more division between the tracks to make it easier to find your spot if you get lost. wilderness tale loved every minute. delightful story of boyhood adventure. Vivid picture of life with a young raccoon. Fun book for all ages! Just finished this lovely book, loved the narrator! Can't wait to share this book with my grandchildren! I laughed out loud at many of his sayings:))

My 9 yr old son enjoyed this story very much and every chapter was intriguing.

Members Reviews: Wonderful What an awesome Christmas story an instant classic. Definitely going to be a new tradition in my house. A perfect story to read as family to get in the spirit of Christmas. A New Christmas Classic Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I am so happy to have reviewed this book as my first Audible book As a big fan of books on CD I was excited. This is a wonderful addition to the series and interesting that it can be read without reading any of the others. The voices are so clever and you can "see" the characters. The humor and storyline are what makes you listen over and over. My favorite thing was that I listened with my 14 year old granddaughter who would Rush home from school and "listen ahead". Then she would call me and tell me to hurry home for the next Installment. Who was your favorite character and why? Of course Red and Gladwin are my favorites but Santa was a great new character. The voice of Santa makes you look over your shoulder to see if he is I. The room with you. Which scene was your favorite? I actually loved the yeti scene on the way to the north pole when the sleigh "crew" were all arguing and Red got mad at them. Then the yeti entered the scene. .. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The humor in the whole series always makes me laugh. I love the life lessons the books are teaching. Any additional comments? We will listen to this over and over just to see what we might have missed. I plan to go back and buy the books I have read on Audible books. I love to listen and read along. My granddaughter has grown to love doing this too. Thanks for the opportunity to review this and a big thank you for the introduction to Audible books. A great new Christmas family tradtion! Would you consider the audio edition of Jake & The Gingerbread Wars to be better than the print version? Well I am always a fan of the print copy and that will never change.

It made a trip much easier to have him glued to these books. He loved the narration too. This was one of his favorite installments. This will standout as a favorite family series Would you consider the audio edition of Tales from the Hood to be better than the print version? We have experienced only the audio edition. I think that it is more fun to experience that way, since there are so many different voices. Who was your favorite character and why? We love Puck in all of the books. Red has to be our favorite in this one. What a creepy twist on an old tale. Any additional comments? These books are terrific for the whole family. I have 7- and 10-year-old girls, and they both love them. My husband willing listens once we catch him up on the plot. I'm so sad that we're not listening ot the last book. GREAT AWSOME AND MYSTERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would you listen to Tales from the Hood again? Why? Yes, Because it's a great book and one of the best I've listened to!!!!!!!!!!!! Who was your favorite character and why? I like Sabrina because she gets into trouble and is very interesting! Have you listened to any of L. J. Gansers other performances before? How does this one compare? YES , I would not compare any of his other performances besause this is by far the best! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No ther wasn't. Any additional comments? YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spectacular! Michael Buckley, L.J. Ganser, and the Sisters Grimm never disappoint! We listen to these stories as a family and are always on the edge of our seats. love this series if you love fairy tales you can't help but love this series. You get to meet the characters in a real life setting, of course they live in New York lol. I enjoy following the lives of Daphne and Sabrina Grimm.

Travers Narrator: Rosalyn Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Another timeless story about Mary Poppins, the world's most exciting nanny, and her magical adventures with the Banks family. From the moment Mary Poppins arrives at Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, everyday life at the Banks house is forever changed. Jane, Michael, and the twins have never had such a wonderful nanny, who brings enchantment and excitement everywhere she goes. In Mary Poppins Opens the Door, Mary Poppins reappears just in time! According to her tape measure, Jane and Michael have grown "Worse and Worse" since she went away. But the children won't have time to be naughty with all that Mary has planned for them. A visit to Mr. Twigley's music box filled attic, an encounter with the Marble Boy, and a ride on Miss Calico's enchanted candy canes are all part of an average day out with everyone's favorite nanny. Members Reviews: Great series A good book series for a lover of audio books and great speakers for a amazing book series. Another fun Series of stories We love Mary Poppins stories, but not Mary Poppins. She seems a little without heart. Delightful fun stories, though and the children learn so much and expand their imaginations. Mary Poppins returns with more stories Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? If they liked the first two, sure. In and of itself, probably not. Would you be willing to try another book from P. L. Travers? Why or why not? I will listen to the remaining Mary Poppins stories just to say I did. But the character is so passive aggressive that it makes her somewhat unlike-able. What about Rosalyn Landors performance did you like? A commendable performance with clear delineation between characters. Do you think Mary Poppins Opens the Door needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Honestly, it is written to give the impression that it was the finale of a trilogy. There is closure. Although I do know that more were later published. Any additional comments? If you like kindly, but insufferably superior nannies, then this is for you. Perhaps it is more of a British thing, perhaps it is just "of it's time". The fables that are incorporated in to the story are fine and quite sweet. It's just Mary that I find somewhat difficult to take in any large quantity.

As he embarks on his journey, he meets Ben, a runaway boy. Together, the boy and dragon make their way toward the Rim of Heaven, all the while running a step ahead of Nettlebrand, a monster who will stop at nothing to hunt down Firedrake. Their quest will truly become an adventure like no other. Editorial Reviews: Why You Should Download This Audiobook: With the publication of the English translation of The Thief Lord, German author Cornelia Funke burst onto US and UK best seller lists. In the #1 best seller Dragon Rider, she weaves a magical tale of a boy named Ben, a brownie named Sorrel, and Firedrake the dragon. Actor Brendan Fraser's narration is perfect for listeners aged 8+. Members Reviews: EXCELLENT!!! I could not stop listening to this audio! If you like Harry Potter and Artimis Fowl then you must listen to this book. I have not always been a fan of Brendan Fraser, but he completely changed my mind, he brought the characters to life. I hope that Cornelia Funke has him read the next book. This book was one of my favorites of the year! Best narrator ever! I love Cornelia Funke's books and her writing doesn't disappoint. The characters are unique in their blend of original fantasy and realism, exemplified in the Brownie Sorrel. However, I was completely blown away by the quality of Brendan Fraser's narration! He must have imitated 10 different accents, added completely realistic sound effects and generally made the whole story come to life so that there wasn't a dull moment! I look forward to listening to anything he narrates. Overall, highly recommended for all ages! FANTASTIC Fantastic story and Brendan Fraser characters made it come to life!! I look forward to more books read by Brendan Fraser!! Great job, both author and narrator! I've been listening to this book with my children, aged 6 and 9. Both of them love it, as do I. I find the distinct voices for each of the characters a delight - it reminds me of the superb job done on the Harry Potter audiobooks. My kids would happily stay in the car listening to the story for a long time (hours?) after we reach our destination. I'll be sad to reach the end! Amazing I typically wouldn't listen to children's books, but the reviews here caught my attention. This was probably the most thoroughly entertaining book I have ever listened to. Not only was this written by an enormously talented author, but Brendan Fraser was simply amazing. I've never had an opinion one way or the other about him, but this completely changed my view of him. To call what he did 'reading' would be such an understatement that it would be an insult. What he did in Dragon Rider was a performance, and a pretty spectacular one at that. I don't know if he's available to do the same thing for any other books, but if he does, I'll happily buy them. He was nothing short of incredible.

I recently reread (listened to) Felicity again and its still as amazing as I remember. Felicity is a great story for 9 year olds to 90 year olds.

Title: Scar Island Author: Dan Gemeinhart Narrator: MacLeod Andrews Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 01-03-17 Publisher: Scholastic Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 62 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: Dan Gemeinhart brings his signature blend of action, heart, and beautiful writing to a tale of misfits struggling to survive. Jonathan Grisby is the newest arrival at the Slabhenge Reformatory School for Troubled Boys - an ancient, crumbling fortress of gray stone rising up from the ocean. It is dark, damp, and dismal. And it is just the place Jonathan figures he deserves. Because Jonathan has done something terrible. And he's willing to accept whatever punishment he has coming. Just as he's getting used to his new situation, however, a freak accident leaves the troubled boys of Slabhenge without any adult supervision. Suddenly the kids are free, with an entire island to themselves. But freedom brings unexpected danger. And if Jonathan can't come to terms with the sins of his past and lead his new friends to safety then every boy on the island is doomed. Dan Gemeinhart's most gripping novel yet, this is a tale of misfits and outcasts at odds and in peril and a redemption story that shines a light on dark truths to reveal that the strongest prisons of all are the ones we build for ourselves. Members Reviews: amazing super good in emotional in a really good way and it's very very good and scary Vivid Writing This story kept me turning the pages. I did not know what to expect but as I read, The story just consumed me. As a librarian myself, I loved the Old Librarian character tucked away in the castle. A Great Read!! best book ever good job loved it it was so great the narrator good job playing the character's you made the book spooky and funny and injoyible at the same time I paid good money I see Entertaining, But a Mild version of Flies This , I can see, would be a great introduction to the classic, Lord of the Flies. I thought that just after Jonathan's first night. Low and Behold, it is actually mentioned towards the end of the 3rd of the book. The Librarian is the best character, the only one not insane or delusional. A nice read for 6th grade and up boys Dan Gemeinhart + MacLeod Andrews = Well Done I have enjoyed all of Gemeinhart's books so far, and Scar Island again shows how he really understands his middle grade audience and their collective love of lots of action and drama with some humor sprinkled in. In this story, the main character has massive inner and outer conflicts, builds deep friendships, and overcomes big obstacles to survive. When you add the crazy-talented Andrews as the reader, you get a gripping tale indeed. My fifth graders love this author and his other books, and I know they'll just eat up Scar Island as well.

Harriet the Spy Audiobook by Louise Fitzhugh

Title: Harriet the Spy Author: Louise Fitzhugh Narrator: Anne Bobby Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-03 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 126 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: When Harriet Welsch grows up, she wants to be an author. So, she figures it's a good way to practice for her future vocation by writing down everything she sees on her spy route in a secret notebook. You can imagine her horror when the secret notebook is confiscated by her classmates and read aloud! Now Harriet's knee-deep in trouble as the tables are turned on her. Critic Reviews: "A tour de force, Harriet the Spy bursts with life." (School Library Journal) "A brilliantly written, unsparingly realistic story, a superb portrait of an extraordinary child." (Chicago Tribune) Members Reviews: Not just for girls I read Harriet the Spy when I was a girl, and I loved it, but I was worried whether my two active and ALL-boy sons (ages 7 and 8) would enjoy hearing a story with a female protagonist. I shouldn't have worried. They have been mesmerized by Harriet's exploits, and we've had lots of discussions about how Harriet got into the mess she's in, and how she should get out. The narrator is excellent, bringing the vast array of characters to life. I highly recommend this for boys and girls alike! Listen to the sample Before purchasing, be sure you listen to a sample. The narrator is very enthusiastic, something that no doubt helps engage child listeners, but may be grating after only a few minutes for the adult reader. If you don't like her intonation in the sample, you'd do better to read the book because she never loses enthusiasm. The novel itself is a classic, and though Harriet can be spoiled and disagreeable, it's a must-read for any child interested in the arts, journalism, spying, or secrets (and what child isn't interested in at least the last two?). For any adult who used to be such a child, it will bring back memories, and for those who have precocious and observant children, it may bring understanding. This is a book people either love or hate, but even those who hate it can gain something from Harriet's observations about friendship and growing up. Best book for a report It was easy for me to read and the voucher has a beautiful voice I love this book I wrote a report on it only in 2 days BEST BOOK EVER Up and down I carried the sky has parts that can be very boring and very intriguing and exciting. Some spots they want me to just put the book down and forget about it. But trust me you will not want to do. I wish it was exciting but as long as you don't put down you'll get through this. Fantastic Narration!! Narrator is definitely on point! Worth the money! Thank you for the great reading...

Title: Seven Wonders, Book 1: The Colossus Rises Author: Peter Lerangis Narrator: Johnathan McClain Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 02-05-13 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 282 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: One boy Jack McKinley is an ordinary kid with an extraordinary problem: In a few months, he's going to die. One Mission Jack needs to find seven magic loculi that, when combined, have the power to cure him. One Problem The loculi are the relics of a lost civilization and haven't been seen in thousands of years. Seven Wonders Because they're hidden in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The thrills begin in The Colossus Rises, the first installment in the epic seven-book adventure series Seven Wonders, from master storyteller and best-selling 39 Clues series author Peter Lerangis. The highly anticipated series has received early praise from Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series, who says, "A high-octane mix of modern adventure and ancient secrets, The Colossus Rises is Lerangis's most gripping work yet. Young readers will love this story. I can't wait to see what's next in the Seven Wonders series!" Members Reviews: A strong start for the series Peter Lerangis's first book in the series has me looking forward to the following books. Jack and his three friends are likable characters. The plot was interesting with its plot twists and the interaction between the protagonists. The narrator did a fine job with this book. This should be liked by readers who enjoy the 39 clues books. Good book for Riordan fans Audible reviews are pretty much crap, so see my Amazon review. I can't submit my full review here for some reason. Basically, this book has great potential and is a fun read, with mostly good narration, but suffers from convenient but unlikely plot devices, flat characters, and not enough realistic intelligence and rationality. It's still worth checking out though, and convinced me to read the rest of the series. A solid book for sure I'm judging this for itself, and not for it's part in the series. The main characters are believable and relatable. I can certainly understand Jack's lack of self confidence as the story progresses. I was a little disappointed that one of the four's return was so predicable, but I can't blame them for wanting to show a bit of physical proof of the power they were talking about. The either drip fed twists and shocking revelations expertly from beginning to end. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next book soon. I wanted to like it but the performance was awful This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? For a young adult book the adventure and action was exciting; however, the performance of the audio book was beyond awful! Halfway through I couldn't take it any more and deleted it from my ipod. I picked up the book in hard copy from the library to finish the story. I would not purchase any titles by that narrator again. the voices narrator was VERY distracting. the professor and allie's voice was sooooo..... also, even though marco and jack are 13 year olds, that pitch was too highly exaggerated for male teenagers.

First, there's the news clipping with an unusual note that he drops at a book event. Then Emily and James discover their teacher has been receiving encrypted messages in a series of Mark Twain books hidden through Book Scavenger. When Emily and James decipher the messages, they begin to suspect Mr. Quisling is hunting a long-rumored treasure of buried gold. Intrigued by this prospect and what it could mean for her family's financial struggles, Emily and James set out to best their teacher. But when they research Mark Twain and the Gold Rush era, they learn about a serial arsonist from the 1800s who called himself The Lightkeeper, and the seemingly unrelated string of arson fires around San Francisco suddenly seem more ominous. Especially when they realize the fires have been set in the exact locations where Mr. Quisling found the Mark Twain books. Is a copycat Lightkeeper trying to stop Mr. Quisling? Or could Mr. Quisling himself be the arsonist? By the time Emily and James uncover the answers, much more is at stake than whether or not Emily will have to move again.

Title: From Percy Jackson: Camp Half-Blood Confidential Subtitle: Your Real Guide to the Demigod Training Camp Author: Rick Riordan Narrator: Jesse Bernstein Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Listening Library Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 60 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: In response to an awful camp orientation video created by the god Apollo, Percy Jackson and other residents of Camp Half-Blood answer such questions as "what is this place?" and "do I get to keep the T-shirt?" Newbies can check out the section on the divine cabins, learn about magical landmarks, and consult the chapter on training arenas. But Camp Half-Blood Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can be learned only from those who live there. For instance, campers do not always coexist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience. And, of course, there are divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself, because...well, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down, thank you very much. Members Reviews: funny and entertaining it's made up of several short stories about camp and half bloods told with a lot of humor. even better as an audiobook So amazing Rick Riordan is my favorite author and to make a book about Camp Half-Blood is even better! It has all the stuff you need to now about Percy Jackson I like the first chapter hhhnnnhhn is the only hhhhh gggggg lakkskskkskkkkkkkkkkkkk mmm m m I want a refund. short, short book. not worth the money I spent on it. I want my money back Odd Installment; may not be worth it. My son enjoyed this more than I did, but we would both agree that this was something of a disappointment. One of the best narrators, but a short and episodic book that doesn't really lend itself to an audio book. Some of the chapters were hard to follow and might be skipped. The end is just a glossary and dictionary type entries. This may not be worth buying unless you are a completist.

Title: Lone Wolf Subtitle: Wolves of the Beyond Author: Kathryn Lasky Narrator: Erik Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-10 Publisher: Scholastic Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 151 votes Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10 Publisher's Summary: From the author of the best-selling Guardians of Ga'Hoole series comes the story of the wolves of Ga'Hoole. A wolf mother has given birth, but the warm bundle snuffling next to her brings only anguish. The pup, otherwise healthy, has a twisted leg, and the mother knows what the harsh code of the pack demands. Her pup will be taken from her and abandoned on a desolate hill. The pack cannot have weakness - the wolf mother knows that her pup is condemned to die. But alone in the wilderness, the pup, Seeker, does not perish. This his story - a story of survival, of courage, and of love triumphant. This is Seeker's story, the wolf pup who rose up to change forevever the Wolves of the Beyond. Members Reviews: TWO PAWS UP! If you enjoyed Lasky's "Guardians Of Ga'Hoole" series, you will thoroughly enjoy this new endeavor by the same author. Lasky applies her tried and tested formula that worked so well with owls, but this time around, focuses it upon wolves. The end result is a very intriguing story that stays true to the author's unique writing style, while still feeling new and fresh at the same time. Although there is a surprising lack of character dialog within the entire length of the story, the narrative keeps the pace of the plot going nicely. While it's not necessary to have read any, if not all, of the "Guardians Of Ga'Hoole" series of books before starting this series, it might make the overall story and experience a bit more enjoyable if this unspoken prerequisite is met beforehand. Either way however, it is a marvelous read, one that shouldn't be passed up by any fans of wolves, or any fans of animal fantasy stories in general. Erik Davies does a magnificent job as narrator, as he has a very pleasant voice to listen to in my opinion. *howls and applauds his approval* Excellent story What made the experience of listening to Lone Wolf the most enjoyable? Beautiful description of different characters and exploration of their feelings. This audiobook make you immerse in the live of the characters... You really want to continue listening until the end. I enjoy this book as much as my kids (7-11 y/o). Any additional comments? Worth to listen - I already recommended this book to friends and at school. wonderful story, wasn't crazy about the narrator. Lasky does it again with this amazing series. The story is gripping and every bit as good as the ga'hoole series. I do have to say that I am not crazy about the narrator. His "voice" that he uses for every female character and young Faolin are all identical. Like a guy pretending to talk like a girl as a joke. I know its hard for men to do female character voices, but I have heard much better. His diction and pronunciation are lacking, more like a dad reading his kid a bedtime story than a professional narrator. That being said, the story is so compelling, it is easy to look over the sub-par narrating, and you do not notice it after a while. I do not say this to be negative against Erik Davies, but just to submit my opinion in an honest review. Awesome Book! I really liked this book, but it was very sad. I recommend this book to people who like animal stories. I am about to purchase the second book. My son liked it Any additional comments? We were spending hours commuting in the car so I thought we would listen to this whole series since my son loves animals.

After a year of training to become a dragonrider, Jaevid Broadfeather has been sent home to rest during a three-month interlude. But when he returns to find the king drake has chosen Beckah Derrick as his new rider, Jaevid realizes something big is about to happen. Every fiber of his being is pushed to the breaking point as Jaevid battles through his avian year, preparing for the final graduation test of the battle scenario. But there is more standing in his way than a few push-ups and fancy sword moves. Jaevid must face a new fear as he is tormented by a gruesome nightmare of a mysterious gray elf warrior murdering the royal family of Maldobar. It seems obvious to him that this is some kind of message about how the war started long ago - until Felix assures him the king is very much alive. With his strange powers growing stronger by the day and that violent dream replaying in his mind every night, Jaevid no longer wonders if he will pass his avian year or not - he wonders if he will even survive it. The truth will soon be set loose. Members Reviews: Loved it! The narrator's excellent! You can hear repeatedly, and find something new each time. can't wait for the next book another great book in the series looking forward to the next book can't say enough about this series really enjoyed it so far Loving this series! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely! I've found that listening to the story has helped the characters come alive like they are in the room with me. Much better than my own voice in my head. What did you like best about this story? Beckah chosen by the king drake and the relationship that builds between her and Jaevid. Have you listened to any of Jesse Einsteins other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes. The first book of this series was done by Jesse. He reads well and gives a great voice to the characters. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes, I loved the growth spurt of Jaevid and how he is viewed differently. He had struggled with prejudice's and now folks feared him. My heart broke for him. Although, of course several folks treated him no different, but maybe were hesitant still in the beginning. Wow. What a twist. Any additional comments? This is a must buy and listen!!! Trust me! The series just gets better! This series just gets better and better! There are plenty of action, romance, tension, and surprises to keep the listener welded to his or her earphones! I can't wait to listen to the next book in this wonderful series! Awesome! I truly enjoyed this fantastically well written book. It was full of surprises that kept me listening and wanting more. It was also wonderfully narrated.

Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries . . . or become a Queen. When her royal parents try to marry her off, Amy runs away and, because she's so ordinary, easily becomes the 14th assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. And theremuch to everyone's surpriseshe meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is! Members Reviews: Blair likes it Any additional comments? My 8 year old listened to this book - it seemed to be riveting for her. She didn't want to put it down and listened to it constantly, through dinner, on our walk, riding in the car, and even lying in bed before lights out. Only books like The Secret Garden, A Wind in the Door, and Anne of Green Gables have elicited a similar listening intensity for her. My daughter is eagerly awaiting the next children's book from M.M. Kaye. Narration is vital for children's audiobook versions and from listening to this preview I immediately appreciated Simone Tetrault's lyrical voice and pleasant reading pace. Beautiful I love this story. It is a beautiful telling of what would happen if a princess was an ordinary girl. I liked listening to the story but the hard copy version has illustrations that really make the book. I've always loved this book and what a sweet audio version of the story I stumbled upon this book at a local library when I was young. I was enchanted by the beautiful illustrations and the story. It is just a sweet and simple fairy tale but it captures my imagination now as it did then. I am so happy to see an audio version of it. The reader is perfect. Sweet, but lacks substance Any additional comments? I like books that adults and children can share. This was not one of them. There is not a lot of depth. It's a simple story. Good for little girls and for building self-esteem. Great story, ok narrator Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I loved this story as a child, and enjoyed it again this time. Any additional comments? The narrator isn't very good. She speaks way too slowly, and in a sing-song tone of voice.

Background music, done to good effect, adds the feeling of an old-fashioned radio drama. Reader Laura Linney seems made to order....She keeps the pace lively and maintains just the right balance between narration and dramatization." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Another Great Narration Love all the Nancy Drew books, but the ones narrated by Laura Linney are by far and away the best. The other narrators sound ridiculous. I wish she would do the whole series. Excellent Laura Linney is the best narrator ever! She sums up Nancy's personality and characteristics with her voice. Laura Linney is the perfect narrator What did you love best about The Secret of Red Gate Farm? This is one of the most enjoyable Nancy Drews we've heard. We listened to it as a family over and over. What does Laura Linney bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Laura Linney's voice establishes Nancy Drew as a smart and sophisticated young lady. Laura's voice is very pleasant. Loved it! First of all, this is one of my most favorite Nancy Drew books so I was very excited to see it in audio form. I was not disappointed! The narrator, Laura Linney, is just perfect. Her tone of voice, the speed of her reading, the background music...it all made for a very entertaining and thrilling listen. I was able to vividly picture in my own mind everything that was being read to me. A definite must have! Curious or What?? Curiosity is something Nancy has in abundance. And she seems to always to have a positive resolution for any problem that crosses her path.

Amina has never been comfortable in the spotlight. She is happy just hanging out with her best friend, Soojin. Except now that she's in middle school everything feels different. Soojin is suddenly hanging out with Emily, one of the "cool" girls in the class, and even talking about changing her name to something more "American." Does Amina need to start changing too? Or hiding who she is to fit in? While Amina grapples with these questions, she is devastated when her local mosque is vandalized. Amina's Voice brings to life the joys and challenges of a young Pakistani American and highlights the many ways in which one girl's voice can help bring a diverse community together to love and support each other. Critic Reviews: "Amina's anxieties are entirely relatable, but it's her sweet-hearted nature that makes her such a winning protagonist." ( Entertainment Weekly) Members Reviews: adorable middle grade story, need 1000x more This book was a really cute middle grade book exploring an American preteen of Pakistani descent. Im Afro-Cuban so thats a completely different narrative for me, and I felt like Amina was a friend teaching me about her culture and religion. She struggled to juggle being American, Asian, Muslim, a lot of identity not addressed in most mg or ya books. Her best friend was of Korean descent and addressed why how sometimes they have two names. Even though it addressed a lot of culture, it isn't actually about her struggling with it which I loved. Its nice to see a narrative where someone isn't rejecting their culture just because no one outside of family isn't the same culture. Shout out to having a name no one can pronounce. This is an own voices book and it really shows because its done with a lot of knowledge and respect. I wish I knew more books like this, it was so cute :-) So good! This was SO good, cute, heartbreaking, and I loved it so so much! I can't recommend this enough.

The Virals are back--but theyre not the only pack in town anymore. Terminal finds Tory Brennan and the rest of the Morris Island gang tracking a pack of rogue Virals who call themselves the Trinity. The new pack was infected by a strain of supervirus created by Tory's nemesis and sometimes-crush, Chance Clayborne, who accidentally infected himself, too. These red-eyed Virals have openly challenged Tory's pack for domination of Charleston, and they'll stop at nothing to bring their rivals down--even if that means giving them up to a shadowy government agency intent on learning the secret to the Virals' powers. Surviving it all is going to test the limits of the gang's abilities. In the riveting conclusion to the Virals series, Tory and the others are nearing an impossible choice--and the ultimate showdown. Members Reviews: Extremely sad that its the last book in the series If you could sum up Terminal in three words, what would they be? AWESOME GREAT BOOK What was one of the most memorable moments of Terminal? When Tori had to chose between Chance or Ben. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? YES!!! And I almost did. I listened to it while I was on a road trip. Any additional comments? It makes me a little sad that this is the last book in the Virals series. I want more. I want to know whats going on with the blue eyes! This series is great for young readers as it has a strong smart female lead with lots of well developed supporting characters. I want more Virals books, Kathy & Brendan. Don't leave us hanging! absolutely fantastic and devastating. I really wish it weren't the last book in the series but it was finished off amazingly. and it was well write and expertly narrated. cristin millioti is an amazing narrarator. Great conclusion to an engaging series! The only thing I would change is adding a few more books to the series, though the ending was very well done. Cristin Milioti did a fine job and really captured the characters' personalities. a must read... this book was a really good read although I found myself being found a little disappointed with the ending of the story. spoiler alert I really thought Tory would end up with chance and not just because he's rich but due to the goosebumps and chemistry they experienced..so confused book dictated more happen in between chance and Tory but oh well I didn't write it. Awesome series! I LOVED this series! As a long time fan of Kathy Reichs, I was as impressed with this series as I was her Temperance Brennan books! Thanks for your creativity!
