Be who you are.

George thinks she'll have to keep this a secret forever. Then her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte's Web. George really, really, really wants to play Charlotte. But the teacher says she can't even try out for the part...because she's a boy. With the help of her best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plan. Not just so she can be Charlotte - but so everyone can know who she is, once and for all.

Members Reviews:

Marvelous Story!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! Jamie Clayton is the right voice for GEORGE. She provides a narration filled with the right emotions and an accurate tone of voice. Jamie does a great job of bringing this story to life!

What other book might you compare George to and why?

Gracefully Grayson, because it is also a great Middle Grade story about a trans kid.

What about Jamie Claytons performance did you like?

Her voice fit. The right combination of story + narration is a tough one to find, and listening to an audiobook when you don't like how the voice of the narrator sounds and/or when it feels like it's not a good match for the book can be disheartening. But this was not the case, the minute I started listening I didn't want it to stop and I wanted to know how things would end.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me cry in some scenes. It made super happy in others. And there was one particular scene when I felt super tense just waiting for the outcome!

Any additional comments?

This is a wonderful and very important story. I'm so happy GEORGE exists for the kids (and adults) who need it (and even for the ones who "don't"). Alex Gino knocked it out of the park with this one.

Must Read!

Would you consider the audio edition of George to be better than the print version?

I dont do print versions- but the answer is always yes.

Who was your favorite character and why?

George of course!

Which scene was your favorite?

When George was looking for girl clothes to wear for the first time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes and i did

Any additional comments?

This is a great book that really transcends all age groups. George is a transgender little girl who is struggling with finding herself and hoping others accept her as well. I love that the book starts off using the feminine pronouns for George and keeps them throughout the book. I loved that it shows struggles on transgender youth without being a completely sad book and it ends on a happy note. I read the entire book in one setting and was glad I did.

Wonderful

I like this book because it have a great message to it and showed how being different is also being special I love how Alex Tino showed showed the story in this book because it shows that even if you aren't born the gender you want to me you can be anything you want to view put your mind to it I think this is a great book for kids wanting to know more about transgender people read short it was actually one of my favorite books overall

Wow, a happy ending!

This book is an amazing portrayal of the trans experience from a trans writer and narrator.

Fans of E.B. White and Dick King-Smith will adore this heartwarming and funny animal adventure by the award-winning author of Counting by 7s.

Mama has trained up her baby possums in the ways of their breed, and now it's time for all of them - even little Appleblossom - to make their way in the world. Appleblossom knows the rules: She must never be seen during the day, and she must avoid cars, humans, and the dreaded hairies - sometimes known as dogs. Even so, Appleblossom decides to spy on a human family - and accidentally falls down their chimney! The curious Appleblossom, her faithful brothers (who launch a hilarious rescue mission), and even the little girl in the house have no idea how fascinating the big world can be. But they're about to find out!

With a tight-knit family and a glimpse at the world from a charming little marsupial's point of view, this cozy animal story is a classic in the making.

Members Reviews:

Simply sweet and wonderfully entertaining!

This is a truly tender story about friendship in the most unlikely places, and the value of family. Dustin Hoffman's fantastic performance makes this book extraordinarily special. My seven-year-old boy loved the story as well as I did. There were a few times where I had to pause the story and explain what was happening, but most children around his age should enjoy and follow the storyline. Absolutely worth the price , I highly recommend this audiobook!!

A great read. Don't let your kids miss this one.

Family, friendship, love and learning to survive. Easy fun read to enjoy with your kids. plan to read aloud to my 4th grade class.

Fantastic book

Our family loved this book! The story was easy enough for a 5 year old to follow and yet clever enough for an 11 year old. Lots of references that only parents could appreciate, as well. Dustin Hoffman is suburb as the reader.

Awesome Appleblossom the Possom!

If you could sum up Appleblossom the Possum in three words, what would they be?

Funny, captivating and heart-warming!

What did you like best about this story?

The author gave excellent perspectives of all characters! So imaginative and creative!

Which scene was your favorite?

Appleblossom dressing herself in Izzy's stuffed animal clothing was hysterical!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You will never think of possums in the same way again!

Any additional comments?

Dustin Hoffman's portrayals were superior!

Best book everomg I love this book I have read over 20times. Love it

Hard to listen to the narrators voice.

Couldn't get past the HORRIBLE narrating & characters the characters is this book are seem to me, to kind of encourage selfish thoughts and behavior. I usually enjoy any kinds if stories, but this one.... just rubbed me the wrong way.

Can Rafe Save His Bacon With A Touchdown?

When Rafe Khatchadorian heads off to special classes at Hills Village Middle School, he faces the same challenge kids everywhere do: At the craziest time of life for a kid growing up, we throw them all into a building with only each other as role models. Once K-12 was split up into three separate school buildings, Middle School became much more of a challenge, but Rafe is suddenly finding his direction. Not only will Rafe face Miller the Killer, but he suddenly begins to notice that girls arent so bad after all. Rafe faces the challenge of a lifetime when he suddenly catches the football during the most important game of the year. Middle School students will love this book as it covers everything from football to bullying and a very wet first kiss (Okay, it was the dogbut it was still funny!) Patterson has found a way to make special classes sound like a hangout for the schools rock stars and being nice to each other the golden rule of Middle School.

From the notebooks of a middle princess

This book is awesome and helped me to sleep and I loved how in the end she turned out to be a princess.

Great road trip!!!

Yes, we would. My grandkids really liked the story and their first audiobook experience

What did you like best about this story?

The happy ending, of course.

Have you listened to any of Kathleen McInerneys other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this was our first time listening to this author.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it was for a road trip so I was hoping it would last for the entire trip, both ways It was a little short for that, but it still worked well.

Great book.

Title: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang over the Moon

Subtitle: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Book 4

Author: Frank Cottrell Boyce

Narrator: David Tennant

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-13-15

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

From the award-winning Frank Cottrell Boyce comes the third official sequel to Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The Tootings are stuck in 1966! Somebody has stolen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and left them behind - but that's not their biggest problem. Their biggest problem is that Little Harry has been kidnapped by whoever stole their magical car. There's only one solution: the Tootings must find the Potts - the family that originally built Chitty.

Sharing their combined knowledge of how Chitty works, the families may stand a chance of rescuing Little Harry and finding the most brilliant car in the world. But a fiendish criminal has different plans, ones that involve flying Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to the moon and putting an explosive scheme into action.

Members Reviews:

The finale of the sequel trilogy

What did you love best about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang over the Moon?

The final few minutes/pages...how things have changed after all was said and done.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang over the Moon?

Again, the last bit, the epilogue if you will. It justifies the whole previous sequel series.

Have you listened to any of David Tennants other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only his other Chitty Chitty Bang Bang readings. He again brought a sense of wonder and fun to the story and, in my opinion, saved it from being merely ok.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

In Space No One Can hear you AAHOOOHGAA!

Any additional comments?

As previously noted, the sequels probably should be viewed and read/listened to as one longer story to have them all make sense.

O,O

O,O this book was amazing!!!!! I was so happy when.... Well, i cant spoil it for you. Best book ever!!!! Except for a few....,

Boyce and Tennant, a great combination

The third and final installment in Boyce's Chitty trilogy is just as funny and exciting as the previous books. It's also ultimately touching. And David Tennant is as always wonderful. I love the fact that each book has included an interview with him.

Title: We Are All Made of Molecules

Author: Susin Nielsen

Narrator: Jorjeana Marie, Jesse Bernstein

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-12-15

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 63 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Award-winning author Susin Nielsen has created two narrators who will steal your heart and make you laugh out loud.

Thirteen-year-old Stewart is academically brilliant but socially clueless.

Fourteen-year-old Ashley is the undisputed "it" girl in her class, but her grades stink.

Their worlds are about to collide when Stewart and his dad move in with Ashley and her mom. Stewart is trying to be 89.9 percent happy about it, but Ashley is 110 percent horrified. She already has to hide the real reason her dad moved out; "Spewart" could further threaten her position at the top of the social ladder.

They are complete opposites. And yet they have one thing in common: They - like everyone else - are made of molecules.

Critic Reviews:

"This savvy, insightful take on the modern family makes for nearly nonstop laughs." (Kirkus Reviews)

"There's so much to love about this story...but what grabbed me the most is the humor." (Christopher Paul Curtis, winner of the Newbery Medal)

"Susin Nielsen is one of the best writers working today. In We Are All Made of Molecules, her astonishing ability to combine insight, tenderness, poignancy, and uproarious humor is in full flower. Susin Nielsen is a genius, and kids and adults alike will adore this book." (Susan Juby, author of The Truth Commission)

Members Reviews:

Amazing

I am 13 years old and I have to say I loved this book. It teaches you a lot of lessons

Funny, insightful, delightful.

Great story with lovely characters. A typical high school story with enough new twists to be very relevant.

Worth It

Though I'm well past my my teenage years, I still decided to purchase this book mainly because I like both narrators. I wasn't even familiar with the author. I purchased this with only skimming through the blurb and the comments, but I wasn't disappointed. Besides the excellent narration, the plot was beautiful. I loved how smart yet innocent Stewart was and how "mature" yet innocent Ashley was.

Also, this book touched various subjects which I also transcends to adult life - family relationship, genuine friendship, frenemies, love, LGBT, social structure (albeit it's mostly in the school setting), self acceptance, and more.

My favorite so far!

Wow! i loved both voice actors. Thank you for painting a mental picture of Stewart, Ashley jared and Schrodinger

An important story teens will relate to

I really enjoyed how real Susin Nielsen's characters were and how she deals with some important issues many kids have to cope with. The story is engrossing, and I didn't ever want to stop listening. The two performers reading Stewart's and Ashley's roles were very effective. I highly recommend this title!

Review by 9 y/o daughter

I really liked this book but I was really sad that it was the last book.

Suspenseful ACTION!!!!

My grandson and I listened to these together. This book was like listening to a great action movie. A must read.

love the whole series

I didn't want the books to end. I liked every character in the stories. Would make good movies.

Great series

What a great series . I am a 56 year old grandmother of 8 . I so enjoyed the series . I was scared , I laughed , I cried ,it was joyful with a beautiful subtle message. It is definitely on the approved and encouraged list for my grandchildren . My only tiny disappointment was each book should have been longer so not a series of seven maybe a series of three to make it a little less costly

THIS BOOK IS AWESOME, DEFIANTLY READ!!!!!

This is an awesome book and I totally recommend reading it. I love how each character has to overcome different obstacles throughout their journeys across Erdas. It a very heart warming story and is very exciting and is full of suspense. I love this series.

Publisher: Listening Library

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Chris Grabenstein, author of the New York Times best-selling Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library and coauthor of the I Funny series with James Patterson, celebrates the power of imagination with this action-packed adventure that shows that sometimes the real story starts after you close the book!

What if your favorite characters came to life? Billy's spending the summer in a lakeside cabin that belongs to the mysterious Dr. Libris. But something strange is going on. Besides the security cameras everywhere, there's Dr. Libris' private bookcase. Whenever Billy opens the books inside, he can hear sounds coming from the island in the middle of the lake. The clash of swords. The twang of arrows. Sometimes he can even feel the ground shaking. It's almost as if the stories he's reading are coming to life! But that's impossible... isn't it?

Critic Reviews:

"A wonderful tale... This book is like no other Ive read. Its a complete original." (James Patterson)

"Grabenstein follows up his best-selling Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library (2013) with another playful title paying homage to classic works of literature. Effortlessly readable and a whole lot of fun." (Booklist Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Just "Meh"

I usually agree with the reviews of the books we purchase and listen to, but in this case my whole family (kids ages 9 and 12 plus adults) would rate this book just so-so. It's not very exciting; the narrator speaks a lot more slowly than many other narrators; the story just isn't all that compelling. It sort of reminds me of a slightly older version of any of the Magic Treehouse books. If you didn't find those boring and predictable, you might like this one. We are slogging through it but are all looking forward to it being over.

Really like this for older elementary students

Love how the book includes classic literature that kids might have heard of but never thought to read.., and will want to after listening to this story. We see friendship, parents having trouble, bullies and much more. Think this would appeal to boys since main characters are boys, but girls will like also. Love how one's imagination can get one into situations that require quick thinking. Highly recommend audio.

A fun Listen

This is a fun novel which references many classic novels. It is inspiring to read more.

amazing

I have read this book 7 times so I got it on audio! I advise you to read it.

Fabulous! I'd love another to follow his life!

I just adored this book even though I am an adult; the storyline was fun and exciting, the characters interesting. I liked that the characters grew with the book and I love to read about things that would be wonderful if they happened to me.

I know this book was meant for young readers, but I listened to it twice, I enjoyed it so much. The tale had just enough scientific possibility to it to let me go on the ride with the characters even though I knew better, but I suspended my grownup side, left it on a shelf somewhere while I plain enjoyed every part of this book.

The narration was terrific, it added so much to be able to distinguish each voice, all involved should be proud! I wish there was a follow up book so I could follow Billy and the cast of characters, minus one person, of course (can't tell, will spoil) but now that I think about it again, that person could come back in a different, helpful way.

Publisher's Summary:

After a year at the king's palace, Miri has learned all about being a proper princess. But the tables turn when the student must become the teacher!

Instead of returning to her beloved Mount Eskel, Miri is ordered to journey to a distant swamp and start a princess academy for three sisters, cousins of the royal family. Unfortunately, Astrid, Felissa, and Sus are more interested in hunting and fishing than becoming princesses.

As Miri spends more time with the sisters, she realizes the king and queen's interest in them hides a long-buried secret. She must rely on her own strength and intelligence to unravel the mystery, protect the girls, complete her assignment, and finally make her way home.

Fans of Shannon Hale won't want to miss this gorgeously woven return to this best-selling, Newbery Honor-winning series.

Members Reviews:

A wonderful story for girls AND BOYS!

4.5 stars. Originally posted at Fantasy Literature.

I just adore Shannon Hales PRINCESS ACADEMY books for young readers. The Forgotten Sisters, released earlier this week, is the third and final installment. This review will contain spoilers for the previous books.

In book one, Princess Academy, the first school was built in Mount Eskel, an uneducated rural mining community. The purpose of the school was to educate marriageable young ladies so that the prince of their realm could choose a fitting bride. One of the potential princess wannabees, Miri, wasnt chosen to be princess, but she learned subjects and skills that she used to better Mount Eskels economic situation. In the second book, Palace of Stone, Miri goes to the capital city for more education and ends up quelling a revolution.

Now, in The Forgotten Sisters, Miri is about to return to Mount Eskel with Peder, the boy she loves, when the king and queen decide instead to send her to Lesser Alva, a backwater province, so she can set up a new Princess Academy. A neighboring kingdom has become hostile and King Bjorn hopes to appease him with a marriage alliance. There are three royal cousins living in Lesser Alva and its Miris job to get them educated and up to snuff so the foreign king can pick one. Miri bristles at the idea of an arranged marriage, but she negotiates with King Bjorn and gets a deal that satisfies her moral standards and will greatly benefit Mount Eskel.

When Miri arrives in Lesser Alva, the situation is much worse than she anticipated. First of all, the place is literally a swamp. She finds her charges Astrid, Felissa, and Sus surviving off the land without any parental guidance. Even if they wanted to be educated, which they dont, they have no time for it because they spend so much time just trying to keep themselves fed. As Miri tries to help them fix their situation and do the job she was sent to do, she discovers that her communication with her friends in the capital and Mount Eskel has been cut off. While investigating, she uncovers ugly secrets and plots and realizes that her life is in danger.

As usual, Hale takes the unexpected route and delivers a childrens story that turns the whole princess thing on its head. Even though I knew Hale does this, I was still surprised by the originality of this story. The Forgotten Sisters is entertaining, adventurous, funny, touching, and optimistic (she even manages to redeem a villain from one of the previous stories).
