| I Will Send Rain by Rae Meadows; narrated by Emily Sutton-SmithAdult Fiction: As dust storms bear down on Mulehead, Oklahoma, dashing the region's farmers' hope for rain, the Bell family struggles to survive. Patriarch Samuel turns to religious fanaticism, while wife Annie reflects on how her life might have been different had she stayed home in Kansas instead of following Samuel to Oklahoma. The Bell children, Birdie and Fred, have their own problems, including the pains of first love and living with chronic illness. Vivid imagery and lyrical prose evoke the Depression-era setting, while the novel's emotional weight comes from its moving depiction of a family in crisis. Emily Sutton-Smith's narration deepens the novel's "portrait of yearning as penetrating as the dust storms" (AudioFile). |

| The Best Man by Richard Peck; narrated by Michael CrouchJuvenile Fiction: Some kids might feel weird about having their teacher marry their uncle, but sixth-grader Archer Magill just feels lucky. Besides his dad, his grandfather, and his Uncle Paul, Mr. McLeod (student teacher, National Guardsman, reluctant Twitter celebrity) is the person Archer admires most. And honestly, Uncle Paul and Mr. McLeod's wedding is just the most recent in the constant stream of changes Archer has been through lately, which include confronting school bullies, dealing with heartbreaking loss, and finally starting middle school. Narrator Michael Crouch is a "natural with kid voices" (AudioFile) while clearly differentiating among all the characters, child and adult. This funny, down-to-earth slice of life is hard to resist. |
