Today, these were the audiobooks that impressed me the most over the year. It's not a huge list. It's just the folks that I think did a stellar job. These narrators deserve applause of their own.

One thing you will definitely find here today are my favorite reads for older kids in 2022, if those kids happen to be into nonfiction and informational books. These are lean, mean, fact-spouting machines and they are perfect for fact-loving kids.

Precariously perched between fact and fiction, today's books ascribe themselves to neither world. Enjoy some "Informational Fiction" a.k.a. fiction with facts worked in or factual info with a healthy dollop of fiction.
