I’ve posted before about free summer audiobooks from SYNC. They’re getting an early start this year with a free download of the audiobook X: A Novel by Ilysasah Shabazz and Kekla Magoon. Here are the details:

On 5/14/15 a free MP3 audiobook download of the acclaimed YA novel X: A Novel by Ilyasah Shabazz (Malcolm X’s daughter) and Kekla Magoon will be available for one week.

Students who grab that file between 5/14/15 (8 AM EST) and 5/20/15  will be able to keep the spoken word performance of Malcolm X’s teenage years indefinitely.

When you share this news with teens in your circles, you can have them sign-up on the spot to get a text alert when the download file becomes available.  When they text to 25827 and put xnovel in the message field, they will get a prompt to grab an app to handle the download on 5/14/15.

There is more information & tools to share here:
