ILiveInFlipFlops Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We have an 11-hour road trip coming up soon, and I'd love some suggestions on an audiobook because I'm just coming up empty. I'm hoping to find something with a little magic or wonder to it. I'm thinking along the lines of The Tale of Desperaux or Anne of Green Gables--something that delights even the most cynical of souls (i.e., my teenager :lol:). We're OK with some intensity, but nothing too scary (youngest DD is a bit sensitive to scary stuff). Ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry was a recent listen by our family, I chuckled quite a bit. It's sort of a parody of "old fashioned" stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom https://www.audible.com/pd/Kids/The-Heros-Guide-to-Saving-Your-Kingdom-Audiobook/B007W4FB5Q We listened on a road trip a few years ago and EVERYONE loved it - the 7yo up to the 16yo. Bronson Pinchot does a wonderful job with all the voices and the story is a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
