Week 10 of this year’s SYNC season comes to participants courtesy of Listening Library. MISSISSIPPI TRIAL, 1955 and THIS IS MY AMERICA both offer realistic fiction exploring how “justice” disappears as a reality when it isn’t applied universally. There is no justice for me unless you, too, are treated justly.

Thanks to Hachette Audio and Scholastic Audiobooks, Week 9 of this SYNC season features a pair of novels with LGBTQI+ characters written and performed with authenticity—and a generous serving of good humor. In a change of approach from multiple narrators performing a book by a single author, actor Will Collyer is the singular talent behind the narration of FENCE: STRIKING DISTANCE, which is authored by three writers: Sarah Rees Brennan, Johanna the Mad, and graphic novelist C.S. Pacat.
