How Can I Find The Longest Audio Book On Epic For Kids And Teens?
Finally found a great epic story to listen to as a family, but my kids are voracious listeners who burn through audiobooks. Hoping to find some truly long, epic series suitable for young adults and middle graders on platforms like Audible.

This might sound obvious, but have you asked your kid or teen what they want to listen to for that long? Picking the longest book could backfire if the subject matter doesn't grip them. I made that mistake once with a highly-recommended but dry historical fiction title. The 14-hour runtime felt like 40. Now, I pick three options that are all highly rated and let my child choose from them. Ownership in the choice increases the likelihood they'll stick with it, regardless of length.

Think outside the 'book' box. Some great long-form content for teens comes in the form of podcast-style series about history or science. While not labeled 'audiobooks' on Epic, they are audio narratives. For example, serialized biographies or documentary-style shows can have seasons with 10+ hour-long episodes. That's an enormous amount of content that's educational and engaging. Check the 'Videos & Audiobooks' section or search for 'series.'

I tend to look for full-cast dramatizations. They often adapt longer works or combine stories. The production is so engaging that the time flies by for younger listeners. Search terms like 'full cast,' 'audio drama,' or 'radio theatre' might yield results that are substantial in length and high in production value. These can be real gems that feel more like a movie in your head than a simple reading.

It's all about the deep dive into an author's catalog. If you find one book by an author like Shannon Messenger ('Keeper of the Lost Cities') or Jessica Townsend ('Nevermoor') that your teen loves, and that author has a long series, you've hit the jackpot. Each book might be 10-14 hours, and there might be 7+ books. You don't need a filter; you just need one successful entry point into a prolific author's world.

The Dragon Thief

The dragons and royals are at war. Dragons have power and the royals want it to cement their rule in their kingdoms. Rather than creating a bond between the two, the royals have been stealing dragon eggs, hoping they will bond with the dragon once it hatches, allowing the royal to become a dragon rider. However, there is a thief among them, someone who is stealing the dragon eggs and returning them to the dragons. Someone who, when found, will be put to death.
Princess Skylar is the daughter of King Augustus. Her father has been hunting dragon eggs for years. Unbeknownst to him, Skylar is the thief that he is searching for. She does not agree with stealing dragon eggs from the mothers who make their nests away from the other dragons, making themselves vulnerable to attack. Her betrothed, Prince Kenneth, also supports stealing dragon eggs in the hope of bonding with a dragon and making his kingdom stronger.
Ryuki is a dragon rider. He bonded with his dragon, Bynjym, a year ago when he stumbled across him in the wild. The bond between dragon and rider is sacred. Ryuki and other dragon riders believe that it should never be forced. The riders fight against the royals who steal dragon eggs, working to keep them from being able to access the eggs, or fighting to get the eggs back to their dragon mothers.
What will happen when Ryuki realizes that Skylar is a royal like no other? Can Skylar keep her secret from her father, continuing to work inside the palace to take the stolen eggs back to their mothers? What will happen when Skylar realizes that her feelings for Ryuki are much stronger than her feelings for Prince Kenneth? Find out in The Dragon Thief.

I’ve been teaching coding to my younger siblings, and finding the right Python book for kids and teens can be a game-changer. One book that stands out is 'Python for Kids' by Jason R. Briggs. It’s written in a fun, engaging way with colorful illustrations and simple projects like building games. Another great option is 'Coding for Kids: Python' by Adrienne Tacke, which breaks down concepts into bite-sized lessons. For teens who want a bit more challenge, 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' by Al Sweigart is fantastic—it’s not just for kids, but the practical projects make it super appealing. These books avoid overwhelming jargon and focus on hands-on learning, which is perfect for young learners.
I'm thinking of the assessment side. How do you know they're comprehending? With a long audiobook, traditional quizzes might kill the joy. But you need some check-ins. Maybe use quick, low-stakes methods: turn-and-talk predictions, one-sentence journal entries, sketch notes, or creating a collaborative timeline on the wall.
The length allows these comprehension checks to be spaced out and varied. You can assess different skills at different points: character motivation after a few chapters, setting visualization later, theme identification near the end. The long format provides a rich, complex text to assess higher-level thinking over time, moving beyond simple recall questions. That's a real strength if used intentionally.
I think the record might be held by 'The Bible' (dramatized) as previously mentioned, but for a straight-read single-narrator book, 'The Histories' by Herodotus at 73+ hours is the number I've seen cited on forums. That's my final answer unless someone can link to a longer one. It's published by Naxos AudioBooks, and they're known for their exhaustive classic recordings. Check their catalog for other potential contenders.
I was hoping they'd added this by now, but apparently not. It's such a standard filter on other services. I mainly use Epic for the free weekly games; their audiobook section feels like it's still in beta.
My workaround is to use Audible's 'Length' filter to discover titles, then see if Epic has them for a better price. Clunky, but it works.
