Best Audiobooks of 2023: Booklist Editors’ Choice: Youth Audio

Read by Raphael Corkhill

“Raphael Corkhill narrates this story in Silas’ true voice, adding another layer of authenticity to the wonderfully complex protagonist. . . Recommend to listeners who can stomach performances similar to Kirby Heyborne’s award-winning narration for Daniel Kraus’ Scowler—horrifying, yet beautifully executed.”—Booklist starred review

Read by Alexandra Ryan

“The audio solidly stands on its own with audio production effects, music befitting an action-adventure movie, and background sound effects to set the scenes. . . This terrifically entertaining audio adaptation will engage young listeners. The title includes a PDF so audio readers don’t miss out on the skill-building puzzles at the book’s conclusion.”—Booklist starred review
