Chronicles of Narnia Audio Drama: The Last Battle

My children and I love this audio CD set so I'd like to send one to one of my readers, too.  We listen to audiobooks often while taking long drives up to the mountain or on road trips... or sometimes when we're simply taking a short drive to the grocery store.  This audio CD is a drama with more than 100 actors, cinema-quality sound design, & music.
 
Upon entering an enchanted world called Narnia, four ordinary children learn extraordinary lessons in courage, self-sacrifice, friendship, and honor.

About The Last Battle: 
A powerful script and stellar cast mark thisacclaimed Radio Theatre adaptation of C. S. Lewis’s most famous work. What begins as a self-serving scheme by an evil ape quickly turns deadly, as the fierce Calormenes invade Narnia and claim that their god, Tash, and the Great Lion Aslan are one and the same. Young King Tirian and his comrades must fight for the survival of Narnia. The Last Battle, though the conclusion of the series, is also a beginning—with a timeless message that listeners will treasure.

You don't need to have read the other Narnia books to enjoy this audio CD, but I do recommend them.  They're an incredible series and you can always find them at used bookstores or on Paperbackswap for free or cheap (check out the sidebar to the right if you're interested in Paperbackswap--I love it!)

RPM: A Cool Boy's Racecar Series!

  
Currently at Tyndale Rewards, you can get 2 books from the boy's RPM race car series: Checkered Flag and Overdrive.   This race car series sounds really awesome for boys (and possibly girls, if they've got an interest in race cars--there is a girl main character).  My kiddos and I haven't read the books in this series yet b/c they're recommended for ages 10 and up.  However, they're published by one of my very favorite book publishers and I've been wanting to have a giveaway geared towards my readers sons and grandsons.  So here you have it! 

About "Checkered Flag"
Tim Carhardt is drifting through life with one goal: survival. Jamie Maxwell believes she can become—no, will become—the first female winner of the Cup. But life isn’t always as easy as it seems. What happens when dreams and faith hit the wall? You don’t want to miss a second of the action. In the trademark page-turner style used by Chris Fabry in the Left Behind: The Kids series, these fast-paced books will keep even reluctant readers on the edge of their seats. Go behind the scenes of America’s most-watched sport to see what it’s like inside a 200-mph racecar as engines rev and lives collide.
