![]() ![]() As to the three stories – the harmonica was simply a device to give a socially conscious history lesson through dreary tales of children in very bad historic circumstances. The enchanted harmonica that passed through three children’s hands kept them loosely tied together, but I was only convinced of its magic because the author repeatedly told me to believe it. Sadly, the magic was pretty thin, serving only to set-up the three part story to come, and to wrap up at the end telling how all three stories turned out. ![]() Mark Bramhall as one of the readers was another strong selling point. I would normally pass on a selection for this audience, but it caught my attention by promising “music, magic, and a real-life miracle”. First thing to recognize is that this is recommended for children aged 10-13. ![]()
