2 Free Audiobook Downloads Each WeekJune 14 - August 22, 2012Teens and other readers of Young Adult Literature will have the opportunity to listento bestselling titles and required reading classics this summer. Each week from June 14 - August 22, 2012, SYNC will offer two freeaudiobook downloads.
The audiobook pairings will include a popular YA title and a classic that connects with the YA title's theme and is likely to show up on a student's summer reading lists. For example, Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone, the first book in a new series about a girl who opens a door to two otherworldly cities at war, will be paired with Charles Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities.
