Lost and alone in a forbidden forest, OTTO meets three mysterious sisters and suddenly finds himself entwined in a puzzling quest involving a PROPHECY, a PROMISE, and a HARMONICA.
Decades later, FRIEDRICH in Germany, MIKE in Pennsylvania, and IVY in California each, in turn, become interwoven when the very same harmonica lands in their lives. All the children face daunting challenges: rescuing a father, protecting a brother, holding a family together. And ultimately, pulled by the invisible thread of destiny, their suspenseful solo stories converge in an orchestral crescendo.
Richly imagined and masterfully crafted, ECHO pushes the boundaries of genre, form, and storytelling innovation to create a wholly original novel that will resound in your heart long after the last note has been struck.From the dust jacket

Reviewed by Sara Masarik
While I have become increasingly skeptical of the Newbery Award, I am delighted that Pam Munoz Ryan?s excellent Echo was noticed and honored. While the primary setting of this story is WWII, and the war does have an important part to play in the lives of Freiderich and Ivy Maria, the real thrust of the story is the power of music to heal others.
