We're off on holiday early next week, involving far too much driving... DCs (10, 8, 5) aren't very happy travellers, and audiobooks make a massive difference to us all.
Please send me recommendations! They need to be engaging stories, ideally funny, and with a fairly quick plot, in order to work for the youngest. But not so simple/short that the older ones get bored. Worst Witch has been good for us; also Roald Dahl. What else should we go for??
