Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk
5.0
Wow! I loved this book and the main character, Ellie. Her family is torn from their life in town at the onset of the Great Depression. Her father is a tailor and her mother a music teacher, but now they are recreating their life on Echo Mountain in rural Maine.
Ellie, along with her brother Samuel and her sister Esther, adapt to a life they have never known; one that requires resilience and hard work. Ellie takes to life on the mountain and learns valuable lessons from her father.
A tragic accident challenges Ellie to learn who she is and who she must be for her family.
This story focuses on Ellie and she is a great character; a girl full of moxie and grace. Her insights are clever. Wolk has created another great story about finding your voice. I loved this book as much as [b:Wolf Hollow|26026063|Wolf Hollow|Lauren Wolk|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1485977210l/26026063._SY75_.jpg|43346512].
