Summary
Audie Award, Middle Grade, 2016
Music, magic, and a real-life miracle meld in this virtuosic, genre-defying tour de force from storytelling maestro Pam Muñoz Ryan.
Lost and alone in the forbidden Black 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 becomes interwoven when the very same harmonica lands in their lives, binding them by an invisible thread of destiny. All the children face daunting challenges: rescuing a father, protecting a brother, holding a family together. How their suspenseful solo stories converge in an orchestral crescendo will resound in your heart long after the last note has been struck.
Richly imagined and structurally innovative, Echo pushes the boundaries of form and shows us what is possible in how we tell stories. With music by Corky Siegel.

A beautiful hidden gem
This is a sweet story following 3 different characters around the time of WW2. It focuses on music as a theme that binds them and incorporates the music beautifully into the audio-book performance. The narration itself is done spectacularly with separate narration for each section of the book. It is a emotive listen, a true hidden gem.

Great audio and performance,
Listening to the book was good. The author is a good writer. The plot however was a little lacking at times. Enjoyable. Worth a listen
