RL = Reading Level 

The Listening Library Reading Level is determined by the Fry Readability Scale and the Spache and Dale-Chall formulas. The 

reading level noted is a grade level. For example, a reading level of 6.4 means the book is appropriate for a sixth grader in the fourth 

month of the school year. NA means that a defined reading level is not currently available for the title or that it is a collection of 

books that have a variety of reading levels. 

IL = Interest Levels 

The Listening Library Interest Levels expand listening possibilities beyond that of a specific reading level and take into account 

story content that can be enjoyed by students both younger and older. The interest levels are noted as a range of grades. 

LL = Lexile Level 

Lexile Framework for Reading, developed by MetaMetrics, is a scientific approach to reading measurement that matches reader 

ability to text difficulty on the same scale. Lexile Levels do not translate specifically to grade levels. For more information on 

the Lexile Framework for Reading visit their website at www.lexile.com. NA means that a defined Lexile Level is not currently 

available for this title or that it is a collection of books that have a variety of Lexile Levels.

final year of high school, his short-lived career as 

a criminal, and his time in prison. But running

NEWBERY HONOR 

The magic of Charlotte’s Web comes to life 

in a delightful recording, read by the author 

himself. Moving and eloquent, this classic 

children’s tale will captivate listeners. 

“White simply shares his story so intimately 

that adult listeners notice every nuance of his 

sentences and his exquisite choice of words. 

For children the story of Wilbur and Charlotte 

will be sheer delight.”—AudioFile 

“White’s voice is…as if he were reading to an 

enchanted grandchild seated on his lap. To 

borrow a word from pig Wilbur, this is terrific.”

THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN 

READ BY THE AUTHOR READ BY THE AUTHOR 

PTOLEMY’S GATE 

Three years have passed since Nathaniel, the 

magician, helped prevent an attack on London. 

Now an established member of the British 

Government, he faces new problems. 

“Jones expertly handles the sophisticated 

sarcasm of Stroud’s imaginative fantasy.” 


“[Jones] expertly captures the pompousness of 

the magicians, the anger of the demons, and the 

naiveté of young Nathaniel. Especially entertaining.”—KLIATT

THE RING OF SOLOMON 

Bartimaeus has served hundreds of magicians 

during his 5,010 year career. Now, fans go back 

in time, to Jerusalem and King Solomon’s court 

in 950s B.C. Only this time, it seems Bartimaeus 

has finally met his match. He contends with an 

unpleasant master, and runs into a “spot” of 

trouble with King Solomon’s magic ring.

Although he lacks a voice, trumpeter swan 

Louis learns to speak to the world with a trumpet 

stolen from a music store by his father. With 

the support of an unusual boy named Sam, the 

swan has some rather unswanlike adventures…

swan…Humor abounds and beauty—of nature, 

of relationships, of time passing—shines 

through [in a] story that will captivate children 

of all ages.”—School Library Journal 

“Narrated with warmth and skill by the author 

himself…something that should be a part of 

every child’s listening library. Every adult’s, 

too.”—Daily News

CLASSICS are more than books that have stood the test of time. They are stories that impart 

timeless themes, contain universal truths, and provide rich literary experiences year after year 

and generation after generation. However, many classics may be inaccessible to contemporary readers. 

Obsolete words, outmoded expressions, difficult sentence construction, and unfamiliar settings can place 

classics out of reach for many students, especially those with special needs. Unabridged audiobook versions 

can help bridge the gap between these classic works of literature and the students in your classrooms. 

Listening to a classic story can create a truly rewarding “reading” experience.

After soldiers of the new Emperor, led by 

Ying, engage in a fierce battle with the warriormonks, 

Malao “the monkey” and his brothers 

rely on the ancient arts to help set things right. 

When Malao must leave the temple he is

the Monkey King. 

“Barrera’s youthful voice projects the 

dedication of the boys as they meet multiple 

challenges.”—AudioFile 

“Avid fans will want to continue the kung fu 

saga.”—Booklist 

“Actor Kiki Barrera has a youthful voice and 

does a fine job of conveying each orphan’s personality. 

Occasional Chinese music in the 

background adds to the cultural flavor of this 

historical novel. This plot driven tale will most 

appeal to boys and reluctant readers.”

THE FIVE ANCESTORS 

read by Kiki Barrera 

SNAKE 

Twelve-year-old Seh is a snake-style master 

and a keeper of secrets. Close-lipped and 

ever-watchful, he has used his highly attuned 

senses to collect facts about his brothers, his 

temple, and even his Grandmaster. 

“Fans of the series’ signature martial arts and 

mind games will find plenty more here.” 


“Not unlike a kung fu master, Kiki Barrera 

delivers Stone’s story with focused energy. His 

narration is especially effective in the story’s 

many fight scenes. Barrera doesn’t rush or 

overact. Young listeners will feel Sey’s fear, his 

determination, and ultimately his victory as he 

defeats his enemies and finds his way in the 

world. If you love Saturday morning cartoonstyle 

kung-fu, this production is for you.”

it to Keifeng, where she starts to make sense of 

why she is being hunted.

personalities as diverse as a quiet grandmother 

and a blaring fight promoter.”

prepared for the adventure that follows. 

“Matt Green sounds like an 18-year-old with 

terminal ennui...YA listeners will enjoy the 

surprise ending, the likable characters, and the 

clever, sometimes slapstick humor. Green’s

Tashjian’s smart, savvy teens and caring 

adults.”—AudioFile

VILLAIN’S LAIR 

Dave Sanchez is your average boy with a 

younger sister who loves to torment him, 

an after-school job and a pet gecko named 

Sticky. All very normal—until the day Sticky 

talks back. 

“Peppered with exaggerated alliteration and 

the excitable lizard’s Spanish-tinged 

‘Stickynese’, the wisecracking narrative 

bounds from one slap-stick scenario to another.”—Publishers 

Weekly 

“Marc Cashman’s narration is delightful, easily 

changing voices from narrator to character 

and back again…A fun listen.”

robs the local bank, Dave Sanchez retrieves 

the bank’s money. But Damien wants his 

cash back. And, he wants the Aztec wristband 

that provides Dave’s superpowers. Damien 

intends to lay a trap not even an invisible boy 

can slip through. 

“Cashman exaggerates the author’s wordplay, 

rhymes, and alliteration…[his] characterizations

he brings these stories and their characters to

fast-paced yet easy-to-follow humor, antics, 

and adventures.”—AudioFile
