I forgot to send this out to everyone the first week it started – See SYNC AudioFile announcement below. It’s a great program that allows you to download 2
free audiobooks every week – a YA book paired with a classic.
You only have the week to download it but if you do it within that time period, it’s yours to keep. I’ve been participating for several years now and the selections
are great.

This Week's Audiobooks:

DODGER
 By
Terry Pratchett
Read by Stephen Briggs
Published by HarperAudio
Seventeen-year-old Dodger may be a street urchin, but he gleans a living from London's sewers, and he knows a jewel when he sees one. He's not about to let anything happen to the
unknown girl — not even if her fate impacts some of the most powerful people in England.
"Pratchett appropriately calls this departure from his widely popular Discworld series a historical fantasy that mixes the oftentimes bleak facts of orphans and child labor
with the magic of storybook endings. Briggs's voice reflects this literary hybrid perfectly."

GREAT
EXPECTATIONS
 By
Charles Dickens
Read by Anton Lesser
Published by Naxos AudioBooks
Narrated in the first person, GREAT EXPECTATIONS tells the story of Philip Pirrip (known as Pip) from his disadvantaged start as an orphan in the Kent marshes to the improvement
in his position following an anonymous allowance. Pip moves to London where, only after many trials, does he learn humility and the value of loyalty.
"Lesser is fully involved and vivacious in each sentence, propelling the story continually forward. This version of a classic is bound to become a classic in its own right."
