Imaginative and touching this book "Echo" by Pam Munoz Ryan relates the heart rendering stories of 3 children; the first, a young boy who tries to save his father during the Second World War in Germany, the second, an older boy who must look after his younger brother at any cost and the third, a young girl who faces the task of helping her family while overcoming challenges as a Latino migrant worker in California.
What connects these 3 is their intense love of music and the appearance in their lives of a special and almost magical harmonica that gives each strength and courage to tackle their trials. Each story steals your heart and you ache for the characters not knowing what their ending might be.
