For weeks now,
my canine sidekick Trigger and I have been taking advantage of the evening sunlight with longer walks. The ice cream truck’s jangling tune has been heard around the block a few times. And I’ve even left the house more than once without a back-up sweater! All of that means it’s time to start thinking about summer (which I can’t believe is almost here!).Growing up, road trips were a cornerstone of our family’s summer vacation plans. A drive through the Pacific Northwest to visit both sets of grandparents. Piling into a car to go camping and traipse around historic sites. And even drives that were part vacation and part moving to a new home. (Moving cross-country from the Seattle suburbs to NYC was especially memorable.) I’m making plans for a few short road trips for this summer (Trigger has some dog friends he’d like to visit) and I can guarantee you there will be roadside photo ops, historical markers, truck-stop snacks…and audiobooks.

Historia
Thirteen-year-old Emily Poe has been given the opportunity of a lifetime: A chance to attend the exclusive Audyn School in Manhattan. But to win the scholarship, she has to pass a test like nothing she’s ever experienced before: A nearly bare room, a set of strange clues, a locked door. And a mysterious organization - the Leopold Foundation - that’s watching her every move.

Who's that girl?
I tried to continue my no-screen-time-before-bedtime rule by listening to The Mystery of Alice, but on the first night I realized it wasn’t going to work. Instead of calming down, within a few minutes I was sitting up and listening intently. Instead of relaxing, I was thinking ahead, trying to figure things out. And when the sleep timer stopped the story, I hit play and added 15 more minutes. My take? A great story, but if you listen in your pajamas, you’ll be awake long past bedtime!

Historia
Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. Living at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all. Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he's seen and about his friends Stella, an elderly elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with color and a well-placed line.

Are we there yet?
Like many families, mine believed in road trips as part of summer vacation. And honestly, there’s not much I would change about those summer drives—except for maybe another inch or two of elbow room. (I don’t know how my folks survived the constant chorus of She’s breathing on/crowding/ touching me!
) But if I could add one thing, it would probably be audiobooks. As a family of readers, I wish we’d had the option of listening together—and arguing over whose turn it was to choose what we listened to next.

Historia
Thirteen-year-old Min comes from a long line of fox spirits. But you'd never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe, Min's mother insists none of them use any fox-magic such as charm or shape-shifting. They must appear human at all times. Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She's counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces.

Celebrating APAH Month
I always feel lucky to live in NYC, especially during celebrations like Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. I don’t have to travel far to learn more about other cultures—whether I want food, film, art, or dance. I can hop on the subway to visit the Indian and Bengali community of Jackson Heights, Queens. I might walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to Chinatown to visit the city’s oldest tea house. Or I can stop at the Rubin Museum to immerse myself in the arts and cultures of the Himalayas. Luckily, no matter where I’m going, there’s a listen for that.
