В  One of my favorites is an older version (was on tape and not sure it has ever made it to audible.com) of Nancy Farmer's The Ear, the Eye and the Arm.В  House of the Scorpian also great.В  В  There isalso an amazing (again older) version of Year of Wonders by Geraldine Broo ks narrated by Josephine Bailey.В  В  Deborah Hopkinson В В

Both of these audio books stayed with me for a long time…Scorpio Races was an awesome production.     Celeste     Celeste Steward Collection Development Librarian IV Alameda County Library 2450 Stevenson Blvd. Fremont, CA 94538 510-745-1586   http://guides.aclibrary.org/read

 Great Audio Booksfor Teens В  Scorpio Races is one of my favorite YA audiobooks. The actors are perfect for the roles - their narration brings the two voices in the story to life, as an audiobook should. В  I also liked The Fault in Our Stars in audio because it got John Green’s voice out of my head and let me hear Hazel’s. Kate Rudd’s retelling of an almost perfect story is excellent.

 Great Audio Books for Teens В  With the second half of June upon us, it's time to move from our discussion of humor to that of audio bo oks for teens.В 

I recently listened to the audio of Code Name Verity (by Elizabeth Wein) and it showed me again how listening to a polished production can augment my experience with a book that I already had read a nd appreciated.В  I tore through Code Name Verity when I read it last y ear, not able to turn the pages of this compelling novel quickly enough.В Listening to the audio book allowed me to savor the story again and app reciate each instance of impeccable plotting and foreshadowing.В  The n arrators brought depth to the character voices that were already in my head (but with much better accents than I could imagine).

Do you have an old favorite or a hot new audio title to share? В  В
