Echo by Kate Morgenroth

[ellen_datlow]

Just finished a terrific little book marketed as YA about a teenage boy whose brother was killed in a horrible accident. The surviving brother is not surviving very well and just about a year after the accident he begins to experience very strange things, as events (not to mention his life) spiral out of control. Only 135 pages with a great cover:

It's marketed as YA, eh? It looks like a dark book. I'll have to check it out (oh, what I wouldn't give for infinite time and money to read books!)

The cover reminds me of Peter from Ender's Game (i.e. what he used to do to the little woodland creatures!)

I really loved Echo - I was unpacking a box of books and saw the cover and immediately had to sit down and read it cover to cover. (I think Simon and Schuster has been doing a great job with their YA covers - of all the books I'm sent for the Norton jury they are the ones I consitently gravitate to putting on the top of the pile.)
