THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET by Brian Selznick, read by Jeff Woodman
This audio gets our vote as the most innovative of the year! Inside a Paris train station in 1932, a boy named Hugo secretly keeps all the clocks running. Like the workings of a clock, the parts of this intriguing story interlock, and the audio program is a marvel. The "soundscape" is unique and the DVD "extras" allow listeners to see Selznick's illustrations.

THE HOAX by Clifford Irving, read by Joe Barrett
This is the blockbuster "confessional" by the author of the greatest literary hoax of our time—the "autobiography" of Howard Hughes.

HITLER YOUTH: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, read by Kathrin Kana
This Newbery Honor book is enhanced by the narration of Kathrin Kana, who voices the facts and information as a compelling story and leaves the listener to become gradually aware of the implications of Hitler's plans for Germany and the Hitler Youth. Kana's steady voice propels the narrative to its conclusion without diminishing the story's brutality.
