More William by Richmal Crompton audiobook.

Genre: comedy

The second of Crompton's series of 39 books about William Brown, our cheeky 11 year-old protagonist. A hero to some, a dastardly villain to others, this book is structured round a year in his life. Starting with William waking up on Christmas morning and ending with him going to sleep the following Christmas Eve, there are the usual round of misadventures, misunderstanding and general mayhem in between. When a boy like William wakes up under a motto that says 'A Busy Day Is A Happy Day' alongside a copy of 'Things A Boy Can Do', the chaos is just around the corner. Includes the very first William short story - 'Rice Mould'. Often dismissed as children's literature, the first few books of William stories were probably aimed more at an adult audience. They resonate with a distinctly English humour, but there are obvious echoes from 'Tom Sawyer' and 'Huckleberry Finn'.

And Then the Town Took Off by Richard Wilson audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The town of Superior, Ohio, certainly was living up to its name! In what was undoubtedly the most spectacular feat of the century, it simply picked itself up one night and rose two full miles above Earth! Radio messages stated simply that Superior had seceded from Earth. But Don Cort, stranded on that rising town, was beginning to suspect that nothing was simple about Superior except its citizens. Calmly they accepted their rise in the world as being due to one of their local townspeople, a crackpot professor. But after a couple of weeks of floating around, it began to be obvious that the professor had no idea how to get them down. So then it was up to Cort: either find a way to anchor Superior, or spend the rest of his days on the smallest—and the nuttiest—planet in the galaxy!

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In fog-bound Victorian London, reputable lawyer Gabriel John Utterson becomes troubled by an unsettling name that keeps surfacing in connection with his longtime friend, the brilliant and charitable Dr Henry Jekyll. The name is Edward Hyde - a violent, secretive figure who seems to possess an uncanny claim on Jekyll's life, fortune, and even his safety. As disturbing incidents mount across the city, Utterson is drawn into a slow, obsessive investigation, navigating locked doors, contradictory testimonies, and a growing fear that something unnatural is at work behind Jekyll's respectable facade. Meanwhile, Jekyll retreats from society, his behavior shifting between warmth and cold panic, as if he is fighting a private battle no one else can see. What begins as a legal concern over a troubling will becomes a tense psychological mystery about identity, temptation, and the masks people wear to keep their darkest impulses hidden. With each clue, the boundary between civilized appearance and savage desire grows thinner, and Utterson must confront a question that threatens the very idea of a single, stable self: how well can anyone truly know another person - or themselves?
