What My Daughter Is Reading This Summer

Yesterday I shared what I’m reading this summer. Today I wanted to give a snapshot of what my teenage daughter has been reading. You might get some ideas here for your own kids. And you can always pick up one of these for yourself, too! (After all, where do you think my daughter heard of these to begin with?)

“Hear, Hear” for Audiobooks

My wife and I have also found that our kids love audiobooks about as much as we do. There are a lot of ways to get audiobooks, but we’ve been pleased with the selection by Family Radio Theatre. They produce the books well for teenagers, and our older kids (11 and 14) absolutely love them.
