SOMETHING BIG HAS BEEN HERE by Jack Prelutsky read by the author
Listeners of this audiobook may need to seek protection from fearsome tigers, consider a new pet—perhaps a porcupine or a giraffe—and peruse the remarkable menu at the school cafeteria. The recitation of Jack Prelutsky, the nations’ first Children’s Poet Laureate, is crisp and paced for appreciation. Whether humorous or more serious, his sentiment for the characters of his poems is heartfelt.

FEED by M.T. Anderson, read by David Aaron Baker, John Beach, Josh Lebowitz, Tara Sands, Anne Twomey
In the not too distant future, could computer chips be inserted in our brains at birth? Great use of sound and the cacophony of the "feed" give listeners a real sense of what this new world might be like. The ensemble cast does a great job capturing the teen voices and conversation.
