Book Description:

Sometimes, even nothing is something. Lea is a thirteen-year-old girl with the usual problems: family, friends, grades, and boys. It doesn’t seem fair that she has to share a room with her little sister when her great-aunt Anya comes for an extended visit. As if that weren’t enough, her best friends at school are fighting among themselves, and Lea has to choose between staying loyal and staying popular. When Lea discovers a tape her aunt Anya has recorded, she learns of a time in history she can barely imagine. Anya, a survivor of the Holocaust, becomes Lea’s wise and caring mentor, from whom Lea learns the value of personal courage. Anya’s Echoes is a warm, funny, touching, and important young adult novel about things that matter to all of us at any age.
