    I want to buy my daughter an epic audio book for her 8th bday. She listens to Harry Potter 1-3 and the chronicles of narnia nonstop. Got any suggestions?

    related: she uses both a CD player AND a cassette tape player because we are old school like that. I usually just find things at garage sales etc so I don't know how to find specific things in these mediums!

    On what kind of device? We only have a very old crappy kindle fire but that could work! I kind of wanted to buy one classic set that she could listen to again and again
