Middle Grade Readalouds

Audiobooks are such a fun way to share a story with the whole family... but not every book has an audiobook edition! Some intrepid authors have stepped up to share their OWN middle grade novel read-alouds. Enjoy old favorites, or get to know a new-to-you author, all for free!

* Kate Messner is doing a chapter-by-chapter RANGER IN TIME book club for kids! Every week she's reading a new chapter aloud, and answers kids questions from the week before. If you like time traveling golden retrievers -- and who doesn't? -- check it out! The first two chapters are up now.

​* Kate also shares the first chapter of her middle grade mystery CHIRP!  

* Fred Koehler reads the first chapter of his middle grade adventure GARBAGE ISLAND! This exciting tale is perfect for fans of Stuart Little and Poppy, and is about a mouse and a shrew who are lost at sea, brave dangers, and find friendship along the way. 

* A wide selection of the wacky and wonderful tales of Daniel Pinkwater are available as free audio files on his website - enjoy!
