Echo

Echo is a fascinating blend of fantasy and historical fiction by Pam Muñoz Ryan. It tells four interlinked stories revolving around a magical harmonica. Beginning in Germany during the rise of the Nazis, moving to an orphanage in Philadelphia, and finally landing in California amidst Mexicans working on farms, the harmonica changes the lives of Friedrich, Mike, and Ivy in magical and profound ways. The harmonica ultimately leads all four stories to a harmonious and emotionally satisfying finale.
