With summer break quickly approaching, many of us find ourselves in the car for extended family travel. One of the ways our family passes the time on our frequent road trips to visit family in Alabama is listening to audiobooks. There are so many to choose from and the choices might vary depending on age and gender. For instance, my daughter has listened to all the American Girl Audiobooks, while my son prefers The Chronicles of Narnia Audiobook Series. However, as with family read aloud selections, there are many selections the entire family will love including anything by Jim Weiss or the Jonathon Park Adventure Series. My two oldest children often agree on many choices, and it helps that we take turns choosing which book to listen to next.

Below are 20 audiobooks I am positive will capture the hearts, minds, and imaginations of your family as you listen on road trips this summer. I have started the list with books for even the youngest in the family and gradually increased in maturity with the selections. Don’t forget, you can sample each audiobook by clicking on the links below and then Audible Sample underneath each book. Finally, many of these books are the first in a series; so find one that your family deems their favorite and dive in!

Now, it’s your turn! What are your favorite audiobooks? Let me know in the comments section.

You can now purchase my book, Thirty Balloons: An Adoption Tale, on Amazon.
