I rated this book for age 12+
I listened to the audiobook and ordered the paper version for a friend. I totally recommend the audiobook!!!! If you read the paperback or hard copy you will miss the wonderful music that the audiobook provides.
This book is part fantasy and part history that everyone should learn about (WWII themed)

magical, powerful, and inspiring!
My 10 year old and I fell in love with this book! We were captivated from the very beginning. It’s magical, powerful, historical, and inspiring. My daughter loves books that switch perspectives, so she was excited that this is broken into sections told from the perspectives of four different children.At the beginning, we meet Otto, who is lost in an enchanted forest and meets three mysterious sisters who tell their story of enchantment, share a prophecy, and help him when they give him a special harmonica. Decades later, the harmonica finds its way into the hands of Friedrich, a Jewish child living in the beginnings of Nazi Germany. From there, it travels to two orphaned brothers in Pennsylvania two years later before moving on to a little girl whose parents are migrant farm workers in California seven years later.Ryan masterfully weaves the fates of the children and their families together, leaving us caught up in these tender, powerful stories of family and friendship. We see how each family and the worldwide community at large is affected by World War II and the lengths good people will go to in order to combat prejudice with kindness, loyalty, and generosity of spirit.I love the diversity represented in the characters, who are all marginalized in some way. They are windows into different experiences but are all relatable. While this book is quick-paced and entertaining, leaving us on the edge of our seats, it is also a deeply moving portrayal of how sometimes the best of us shines through during the most difficult circumstances. The emphasis on music and the importance of beauty throughout is so powerful. We loved this one!
