Free Audiobooks All Summer

Written by Tracie published on Thu, 05/23/2013 - 11:25am

For the past few years SYNC has offered two free audio titles for teens all summer long.  Each week features a young adult audiobook paired with a classic.  This year's line-up is diverse and interesting: Jane Eyre and Frankenstein are paired with stories like Raven Boys and Rotters.  You can even sign-up to get a text alert about the titles each week!  Downloads are in MP3 format and are Mac and Windows compatible.  Details can be found on the SYNC homepage at this link: http://www.audiobooksync.com/free-sync-downloads/sync-schedule-13/
