Veronica Moffet is just your typical seventh-grade girl. The only minor difference is that she happens to be from another dimension. Not only that, but in the alternate reality of Enos, Veronica needs to do some serious rescuing. But can she save the day? The Echo of the Sun is the funny, wildly inventive young adult fantasy novel by author Scot Harris that stars an altogether different kind of damsel from another dimension, one who uses her boundless wits and creativity in place of her all-too-human frailties. After a perfectly awful last day of seventh grade, Veronica returns home to discover that her parents are actually banished royalty from a world called Enos. Now Veronica's life depends on returning to Enos and finding the Solito, a precious object that was lost years ago. That won't be easy, and along the way, Veronica must outwit charming horse thieves and power-hungry kings while she dodges horrible monsters, nasty Neestas and even evil windmills. Join the adventure in The Echo of the Sun, the far-flung fantasy that puts a seriously funny new spin on universe-hopping.… (más)

Seventh grader Veronica discovers that her parents, and thus she herself, are not at all what she’s been led to believe throughout her short and protected suburban life. Abruptly all her angst-ridden middle school grade concerns are dropped and she finds herself propelled into new psychic territory. She must redefine her relationship with her parents and absorb some unimaginable family history as she’s sent on a crucial mission to an alternate world.

I thoroughly enjoyed Echo of the Sun, which straddles the odd borderland between juvenile fiction and young adult fiction. As far as I can tell, the book consistently nails the viewpoint of the twelve-year-old protagonist. (Important disclaimer: I have never been a twelve-year-old girl, though I’ve read my share of books written in young adult first person, so I extrapolate from there.)

The novel creates a mood of mystery and drama with undercurrents of wry humor. Imaginative monsters, crises, and plot reversals cycle throughout the book, keeping up the suspense through the novel’s final pages, by which time Veronica has gained new perspective and maturity and must make a final bittersweet choice.

However, I certainly can foresee that this choice may be modified in subsequent books in the series, which I’m very much looking forward to!
