Leo, able to hear sounds from the past, agrees to use his ability to help his unscrupulous uncle Crane retrieve a valuable mask from Borneo in exchange for information about his parents' plane crash. While, like Sound Bender, the premise of this sequel is pretty out-there, preteens will love the fast-paced action, the relatable protagonist, and the plot's unusual musicology threads.

When recently orphaned Leo turns thirteen, he learns that he can hear the past when he touches certain objects. The discoveries of a strange artifact and a recording made by his musicologist father lead him to the South Pacific to right a decades-old wrong. A far-out, fast-paced tale that will appeal to music lovers and middle-grade boys.
