About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

"A riveting exploration of that which destroys and that which heals." (AudioFile)

We listened to this on a long drive and it was such a wonderful experience - a beautiful story and a fabulous narration. The background music in the narration made it such an immersive experience. Music plays such a central role in the story & adding it to the audio performance is such a fantastic idea ! I do wish there was more music incorporated into the performance of the book , we couldn't get enough of it . It's a great book for the entire family including kids (10 years and above ) . This has definitely been one of our most enjoyable audiobooks .

Wonderful listening experience
