Hello summer! School is out and it’s road trip time. Or lying by the pool time.

Whatever your plans this summer, they’ll be better with a good audiobook. These are some of the best titles to keep you listening to new stories all day (and into the night too!).

  • Young Readers

  • Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls

    by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo, read by various

    This audiobook contains 100 bedtime stories about women who excelled in different ways, including in music, science, politics, sports, art, and basically any other way you can dream up. They cover women from the past and include present-day women too. Best of all, each one is told like a fairy tale. My four little girls will be listening to these all summer long!

  • The Terrible Two Go Wild

    by Mac Barnett and Jory John, read by Adam Verner

    Summer calls for audiobooks that make you laugh and nobody does it better than Mac Barnett and Jory John with their Terrible Two series. My first grader listened to the first one multiple times and was thrilled when a second installment came out. Now the third one is perfect for summer as Miles and Niles arrive at Camp Good Times for the summer where it appears there are no prank-ortunities. But leave it to this duo to find a way to make trouble!
