Have the kids all read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series? That one I read, but it would be a great audio experience, I think.

My kids liked the Benedict society too, although the narrator isn't as good as Jim.We've listened to Harry Potter over and over though. Wait. Just thought of a series! The Ghallager girl series, boarding school where they are taught to be spies. Really fun writing and safe for kids. Starts with "I'd tell you I love you but then I'd have to kill you." I think.Amarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851705755045197778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-511646121373702932015-04-28T13:10:26.096-04:002015-04-28T13:10:26.096-04:00I had no idea he was so handsome!I had no idea he was so handsome!Jennifer Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595231987892881691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-81241227214016237162015-04-28T09:48:24.682-04:002015-04-28T09:48:24.682-04:00I totally agree with you regarding Jim Dale!
