For those of you who enjoy audiobooks, you know that they are not all created equal. When listening to a story for six+ hours, the quality of the narration can make it a delight or a bore. To honor those narrators, casts, and producers that bring a story to life, the Audio Publishers Association awards the “Audies” annually. The finalists for 2015 have been announced, and you can listen to clips from the teen category finalists, as well as clips from finalists in 29 other categories, on the Audiofile website. Winners will be announced at the end of May. In the meantime, check out a copy of one these teen finalists available in our lending system:
The Accidental Highwayman by Ben Tripp; Narrated by Steve West
Boston Jacky by L.A. Meyer; Narrated by Katherine Kellgren
Cress by Marissa Meyer; Narrated by Rebecca Soler
The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson; Narrated by Julia Whelan and Luke Daniels
