“Wonderfully distinct, delightfully told and destined for a long life on the shelf. Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)Ģ011 NPR Backseat Book Club - Featured Selection The evocative magical landscape, superbly developed characters (particularly dreamy, self-doubting, determined Hazel and lost Jack), and the piercing sadness of a faltering childhood friendship give this delicately written fantasy wide and lingering appeal. It’s certainly the only children’s fantasy around where Minnesota Twins All-Star catcher Joe Mauer figures into the plot. The creepy fantasyland that Hazel traverses uses bits from other Andersen tales to create a story that.is beautifully written and wholly original. Like a fairy-tale heroine, Hazel traverses the woods without a breadcrumb trail to save a boy who may not want to be saved in this multi-layered, artfully crafted, transforming testament to the power of friendship. “This is a lyrical book, a lovely book, and a smart book it dares us to see stories as spreading more widely, and running more deeply, than we had imagined.” - Gary Schmidt, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Wednesday Wars Breadcrumbs is one of those rare novels that turned me on my head then sat on my heart and refused to budge.” - Ingrid Law, Newbery Honor-winning author of Savvy By Anne Ursu, Erin McGuire (illustrator), Book description The winner of numerous awards and recipient of four starred reviews, Anne Ursu's Breadcrumbs is a stunning and heartbreaking story of growing up, wrapped in a modern-day fairy tale.
