Imagine that everyone around you has a mirror image living somewhere else. Your world is like a sound, which produced that other world of echoes. And in this land men are governed by a terrible law—no Echo is allowed to live after his Sound dies.
One Sound especially must die. The Prince’s Sound. The Fate Sealers and Fortune Tellers will make sure of that! Because after this Sound dies, the Echo Prince will have to die too.
Now, twelve-year-old Will Cleary is about to discover that he is the Sound the Echoes are hunting. And so begins his perilous adventure into a see-through, sparkling world, filled with spying crystal balls, an eerie fortress of castaway children, a hunt for clues in an ancient book of riddles, and a last-chance escape through a frozen gem-studded lake into a secret land that holds the key to placing the Prince on the throne and returning freedom to the Echoes.
Akai’s Review:
This was my first time reading a story that was magical. I really liked it.
Twins run in my family. They are very close and protective of each other.
Will reminded me of someone real. Someone who doesn’t give up on family. Even though, the book was long, I liked the cool pictures. I think it was a good idea to have it take place in a winter wonderland. Death, ghosts and magic couldn’t happen in a nice warm place.
This book kept me wondering what could happen next. Just when you think one thing, something totally different happens.
