Echo
Overview & Summary
A single, enchanted harmonica passes between four different young musicians across different decades and countries -- including Nazi Germany, Depression-era Pennsylvania, and World War II-era California -- each finding courage, connection, or salvation through music during their own moment of crisis, before the interwoven stories converge. Pam Muñoz Ryan's ambitious, multi-part novel blends historical fiction with a touch of fairy-tale magic.
