Book Review - 'Echo' by Pam Muñoz Ryan

Hey guys!

Welcome to 'Book Reviews By Sophie McC' where I review books!

For my first ever book review, I am reviewing 'Echo' by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Pam is also the author of 'Esperanza Rising' and 'The Dreamer.' 

My Review
Wow! Where do I start? I read 'Echo' a few years ago and it has been one of my favourite books that I have read. Each part (out of 4 parts) has the main characters facing an incredible challenge that will leave the reader not wanting to put the book down and wanting to know more and more as they progress through each part of the book. Part 4 is literally the best part of the book as it connects the three other stories together as one. I absolutely love the way Pam has done this! Her writing style is so unique! I recommend this book to confident readers as well as probably older readers.

My overall rating of 'Echo' by Pam Muñoz Ryan is ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and a HALF stars. My reasoning behind this is because some readers may find the prologue a little bit confusing.
Please get a copy of this book in your hands! You won't regret it!


General Information about 'Echo'
'Echo' is a Juvenile Fiction book.
It has 587 pages.
I believe this book is suitable for ages 12+ or strong readers.
'Echo' has 4 parts to it and it is a standalone. You cannot buy Part 1, Part 2, etc.
Brief Description
 'Echo' starts off about a boy called Otto who finds three mysterious sisters in a forest. He has suddenly found himself in a quest that has many promises including a harmonica. The book then continues as three main characters throughout the first three parts of the book. Each 'part' (or section) of the book is set in different years, different places and each character's story is just as exciting as the other. All these three characters somehow come across the exact same harmonica. Throughout the book, each character faces unbelievable challenges to save themselves as well as others very close to them. Part 4 of the book connects their stories together and it all just clicks. (It's one of those books that makes you go, "Ohhh.") Also, 'Echo' does have a type of prologue and epilogue. (about Otto and his story) which I definitely recommend reading. (It would make the book a little confusing if you didn't read them).
