| The Lemony Snicket series of unfortunate events has a good audio book. I used that on a road trip with my kids and we all enjoyed it. |

The Wild Robot series was incredible for kids and parents. We listened after watching the movie and it's interesting hearing our kids process the differences. I recommend listening to the source material of any TV show/ book they've watched.
Also, I know some parents will criticize for this, but we've listened/read to the hunger games books with our kids. Yes there's violence, but we think our kids handle it well. YMMV |

A Wolf Called Wander.
We also enjoy an author McCall Hoyle. We love her animal based books. Just Gus is our favorite. Stella a close second. I feel like some can be sad like animal books can be, but not a bad thing, just fair warning. |

I am a sucker for classics and here’s what my then 10 yo boy liked:
- The Space Cadet, and Have Spacesuit, Will Travel by Robert Heinlein - Three men in a boat (to say nothing of the dog) but don’t get the Hugh Lawrie edition, get it read by someone else (professional book reader) - I, Robot and other stories by Isaak Asimov - Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (I think it was a radio play by BBC) - White Fang by Jack London, as well as the other one about a dog I forgot the name |

| To add, Space Cadet was read by David Baker et al |

| Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking - great story/mystery/adventure and good themes. It’s a great book. |
