Echo Mountain

After the Great Depression takes nearly everything her family owns, twelve-year-old Ellie and her family are forced to leave their home in town to start over in the wilderness of Echo Mountain — a move Ellie comes to embrace, even as her family struggles with the aftermath of an accident that has left her father in a coma and unfairly blamed on Ellie herself. Determined to help him heal, Ellie ventures up the mountain in search of a mysterious woman known only as 'the hag,' uncovering hidden stories that connect three generations of resilient women along the way. Lauren Wolk's beautifully written novel is an outstanding choice for students because it weaves themes of resilience, found family, and the courage to forge one's own path into a richly atmospheric work of historical fiction.
