A very special harmonica unites multiple stories to teach lessons of hope, friendship, family, and perseverance through war and hardship. I recommend Echo as a read-aloud for grades 4 or 5 or a self-read for grades 5 and up, but it certainly will appeal to students (and adults) of all ages who love a good mystery. 4 stars because as one story ended on an unexpected note, I was literally bellowing out loud, "No, what happened?" But it all ended well. Great history lessons, too, that are captured in mystery and even a bit of fantasy. (Guided Reading Level Y)
