Echo by Pam Muñoz Ryan

Set against the backdrop of World War II, this enchanting tale weaves together the lives of three children from different parts of the world, each connected by a mysterious harmonica that holds the power to change their destinies. As the harmonica travels from a German boy facing the rise of the Nazi regime, to an orphaned girl in Pennsylvania, and finally to a Mexican-American boy in California, it becomes a beacon of hope and courage. Through their struggles and triumphs, the children discover the strength of music and the resilience of the human spirit, ultimately finding their voices in a world overshadowed by darkness.
