madteaparty Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) One is particularly advanced but it doesn’t matter. Looong drives once a week. We finished Bud not Buddy last (I’m cycling through the audiobooks I had with DS ❤️), she thought it too sad, he loved it. i might give A series of Unfortunate Events another whirl, though she will protest. Any other suggestions? Edited March 5, 2020 by madteaparty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Gregor the Overlander? I haven't listened to the sequels yet but the first book was good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertflower Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 My kids, 7, 9, amd 11 are enjoying keeper of the lost cities series, treasure Hunters series and the wings of fire series. Last year they enjoyed the land of stories series and the author's latest A tale of magic. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily ZL Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I thought Nim's Island was good for both boys and girls - girl heroine but desert island type survival? The Artemis Fowl books are read by a man with an Irish accent so they really enhance the books. Not sure if you mind the fart jokes and the anti-hero/villain idea, though he fairly quickly becomes a hero. And even though your kids are a little old for them, I found the Paddington audiobooks narrated by Stephen Fry to be excellent even for my enjoyment, and the Jim Broadbent Winnie the Pooh books (which are really very clever). Broadbent is my favorite though I know not many people agree. Likewise I prefer the Stephen Fry Harry Potter by leaps and bounds (and it's about 30% longer too, since he enunciates and acts so well). Those would keep you busy for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 My kids' favorite was Artemis Fowl. It does have potty humor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tawlas Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Some my whole family has enjoyed over the years (they're 7, 10 and 12 right now) -Ramona series, Henry Higgins series, Ralph and the Motorcycle series, Wingfeather Saga, Hank the Cow Dog series, Harry Potter series (the first few are appropriate for the under 10 set), The Hobbit and The Penderwicks series. We own them on Audible and they have been listened to REPEATEDLY, literally for years and years, for all three kids (two boys and a girl). ETA Also, books by Roald Dahl. Mine especially love Matilda.
