2 Free Audiobook Downloads Each Week
June 23 - August 17, 2011
Teens and other readers of Young Adult Literature will have the opportunity to listen to bestselling titles and required reading classics this summer. Each week from June 23 - August 17, 2011, SYNC will offer two free audiobook downloads.
The audiobook pairings will include a popular YA title and a classic that connects with the YA title's theme and is likely to show up on a student's summer reading lists. For example, Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, the first book in a popular series with strong allusions to Romeo & Juliet, will be paired with Shakespeare's classic.

THEODORA TWIST by Melissa Senate is an exciting novel about a teenage movie star's journey to clean up her bad girl act by living with a regular teenage girl and her family in her old house and going back to her school for a reality T.V. show. In "Theodora Twist" Theodora learns how to go back to her regular life even with the other students treating her like the celebrity she is. Also Emily learns to live her regular life with a twist. The story goes back and forth between the two girl's point of views adding another twist. I recommend this book to middle school girls who aren't looking for a regular novel, they're looking for one with a twist.
