Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk

4.0

There's a lot to love about this poignant read. It's set in an interesting place in a fascinating era, for one. Another is the intriguing characters—they're flawed but likable. Ellie is especially sympathetic because her concern is so rarely for herself. While this novel might not have a lot of appeal for a modern MG reader, it's one I quite enjoyed. There's enough action to keep it moving forward at a steady clip, the characters are well-drawn, and the prose is lyrical and lovely.
