Echo


This is one of the best books I have read in a very long time.  I was swept up in the stories and could not step away from it.  I was spellbound.  Pam Muñoz Ryan wrote this amazing fantasy and historical fiction story.  It is broken into the stories of three young children set around the time of World War II.  Their lives are each touched by the same harmonica that will ultimately determine the fate of three sisters cursed by a witch.  Frederick lives in Germany as it is being taken over by Hitler.  Mike and his brother are orphans who live in Pennsylvania at about that same time, and Ivy lives in California just after the U.S. is drawn into the war.  Their three stories eventually merge beautifully.  A must-read!!!!  (FIC RYA)
