Other Notable Work: Dear Martin by Nic Stone, American War by Omar El Akkad Holter Graham He’s also shown his considerable chops narrating such work as Miles: The Autobiography, Shaq Uncut and Letter From Birmingham Jail. A man who can easily slip between the voices of Miles Davis, Shaquille O’Neal, and Martin Luther King Jr. It’s an incredible (and deeply upsetting) book, but Dion Graham’s amazing narration was definitely part of what made it so compelling. It’s not every day that you come across a nonfiction book you simply can’t put down, but I listened to Evicted practically straight through without stopping. Jones, The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan Dion Graham Other Notable Work: The Known World by Edward P. Must Listen: The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton But serious isn’t the only thing he does-he also brings his significant talent to Rick Riordan’s middle grade Kane Chronicles. Everything comes through in his voice, making the book that much more powerful. Free brings so much emotion to this beautifully written and heartbreaking memoir-rage, hopelessness, fear, humor, despair, hope, love. The Sun Does Shine, Anthony Ray Hinton’s memoir about the 30 years he spent as an innocent man on death row, is certainly not an easy read. Other Notable Work: Rooms by Lauren Oliver, the Maisie Dobbs books by Jacqueline Winspear Kevin R. Cassidy brought the hive spectacularly alive, and convinced me she’s capable of doing just about anything. I was completely mesmerized by Cassidy’s narration of The Bees-a novel in which humans appear for a total of less than five minutes. You know a narrator is talented when they can convincingly voice the character of Flora 717, a lowly sanitation worker bee. Other Notable Work: Bird Boxby Josh Malerman, Everything I Never Told You by Celestine Ng Orlagh Cassidy Must Listen: The Bright Hour by Nina Riggs
