Alright. People who have read/will read Echo, try to find if the stories connect. Hint: Part four is one good place. Try to find how Mike and Ivy connect. Hint: Mike's action to donate the harmonica, and where it goes. Now check where Ivy lives. All of the stories are tied together in a way. Try to figure how. It took me 3 hours to read it all. When you finish, go back to parts in the story, thinking about how they are tied by action. Timeline : Friedrich, then Mike, then Ivy. Oh, then Kenny. Now think about the action that got the harmonica from Friedrich to Mike, and Mike to Ivy. Hope u enjoy the book!!!
