Featured Article: The Best Young Adult Audiobooks to Listen to as a Grown Woman


For some reason, a lot of people equate "growing up" with "growing serious." But while interests may change over time, age does not have to be the deciding factor in what games you play, what movies you watch, or what books you enjoy. The young adult audiobooks on this list are truly timeless: grownup listeners can relate to YA classics in a whole new way or find new favorites among more recent offerings.

I've read this book for a class project and I love it. The story makes you wish you could go back in time to the Civil war and experience the past and all that comes with it. 6/5 stars!

Hunt does an excellent job helping you receive more than the history textbooks can give. She helps you experience the tension of the 1860s through the yes of a 10yr old boy on a farm in southern Illinois. There are lots of general names used and one can get lost in all the names, but it is a good retelling of that era nonetheless.

Very moving. I felt like I was bawling for the last hour of the book. A very impressive work of family (and U.S.) history. Recommended to just about anyone.

Terrific At Any Age

Very well written - enlightening us to our not-all-that-distant past! I truly enjoyed this, my second book by Irene Hunt. The narration was great too!

Historically Enlightening

I really liked the narrerator and hoe he made authentic accents and voices for the characters. told from the point of view of a boy 9-13yo. Even though they are a Union State/family, part of the Confederate understanding is touched upon as one brother of the family fights for the South. And there are clear examples of generals and locations, where if you wanted to pull out maps and follow, you could. it was great, my 10 yo boy listened to the whole thing in 2 days. Highly recommend.

Excellent for young boys
