[Free Audiobooks] Mississippi Trial, 1955 by Chris Crowe & This is My America by Kim Johnson [Award-Winning YA Historical Fiction]

The annual SYNC Summer of Listening program continues, promoting literacy among teens by giving away YA-friendly weekly paired audiobooks—1 modern, 1 classic/drama performance—free for a limited time courtesy of the the participating publishers and sponsor AudioFile Magazine.

This 10th week's featured selections, free through Wednesday July 6th, have a theme of “Justice for All”, with stories showcasing casual and systemic inequality as seen from both sides of racial divisions in the US:

Mississippi Trial, 1955 by Chris Crowe, an award-winning professor of English at Brigham Young University, read by Victor Bevine from Listening Library. This is a YA historical novel centred around a teenaged white boy from Arizona visiting his grandfather in Mississippi, who is horrified to discover that a childhood friend may have been involved in the real-life murder of black 14 year old Emmett Till, and gradually begins to notice the deep-seated racism in his former hometown community as the trial unfolds. This won the 2003 International Reading Association Children's Book Award for Young Adult Fiction, the Jefferson Cup Award for best US historical fiction, as well as being featured on the American Library Association's annual list of Best Books for Young Adults.

This is My America by Kim Johnson, read by Bahni Turpin from Listening Library. This is a YA contemporary novel centred around a teenaged black girl in Texas whose family, already trying to maintain hope in the face of her innocent father facing a death sentence, is further stressed when her track star brother is accused of killing a white girl. The audiobook performance of this was a winner of AudioFile Magazine's own Earphone Awards as well as making the American Library Association's Amazing Audiobooks for Young Adults 2021 list, and the print book was also an ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection.

The freebies are claimed via the Overdrive Sora app for iOS & Android or directly via the Sora website. You'll need to register just once with a valid email address and the signup code provided via the front page of the promotion and follow the instructions on the FAQ page to “Borrow” each week's featured selections for a permanent loan you can listen to anytime via online streaming on all devices or download for just the apps. NB: if you need to free up space on your device later, be sure to follow the FAQ instructions to ONLY delete the downloaded files and NOT “Return” which would remove your future access.

Offered free worldwide through Wednesday July 6th (until just before midnight Eastern Time), available directly from the Sora website and apps, and you can sneak peek the upcoming featured selections to see if there's anything you'd be particularly interested in.
