This week I finished two audiobooks. 

The first was The Postcard by Tony Abbott.  Jason is sent to Florida to help his dad when his grandmother dies.  In the process of cleaning out her house he discovers a mysterious postcard that leads him to other clues and to the mystery surrounding who his grandfather really is.  The book is a little slow early on, but more than makes up for it as you getter deeper involved.  By the end I wanted to stay in the car so I could finish the mystery. (4th grade & up)

The second was The Fledgling by Langton.  A "fairytale" taking place in a more modern setting.  A young girl meets the goose prince and he teaches her to fly.  The trouble starts when the noisy neighbor sees her fly and tries to convince her parents that the child is really a fairy and that the fairies will come and steal her back at the full moon.  Adding to the trouble is the local banker who takes it upon himself to try and shoot the goose since he thinks it is trying to attack the girl.  (3rd grade & up).
