I have become a big audiobook and podcast fan when I work out or do yardwork, but I'm looking for something the whole family can listen to on a couple of upcoming summer roadies. Any ideas?
We've listened to Grisham's teen series Theodore Boone on audio before and that helped pass the time. I have 13 and 10 year old boys.
This free. And your kids will love you for this.
The GFL series by Scott Sigler. You can get them free via podcasts on iTunes or android pod software.
The Rookie is the first novel.
You and your boys will love the series.

ROOKIE SYNOPSES:
Aliens and humans alike play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that literally want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed and rival players are assassinated.Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, THE ROOKIE is a story that combines the intense gridiron action of "Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and the criminal underworld of "The Godfather."
Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy that has been raised all his life to hate, and kill, those aliens. Quentin must deal with his racism and learn to lead, or he'll wind up just another stat in the column marked "killed on the field."
