The best full-cast & multi-voiced middle grade audiobooks
A full-cast middle grade audiobook gives every character its own voice — closer to film than to reading. Below are the award-winning multi-voiced middle grade productions in this index: each won the Audie Award in the middle grade category and is performed by an ensemble or full cast rather than a single narrator. The most recent is Black Star by Kwame Alexander (2025).
