Audiobook recommendation for road trip with 9yr old son and 12yr old daughter that’s not necessarily a “children’s” book.
Okay…as the title implies, we’re driving from Ohio to the Outer Banks next week. Looking for an audiobook that will appeal to everyone that’s not necessarily a children’s book, (though a well done children’s book would be fine and they love Judy Blume, Roald Dahl, etc). Bonus points awarded for “classics” that they might later have to read in school.
My kids are into grown up books…but it shouldn’t be too hard to follow or complicated.
Last summer our family had a “Steinbeck summer” and we read Steinbeck books to the kids (grapes of wrath, mice and men, red pony, etc…), which they loved. I’m kinda looking for a similar level of writing as Steinbeck for this summer, a classic historical adult writer who’s approachable for kids…
Look forward to suggestions!
