INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Ursu, Anne

Breadcrumbs

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Erin McGuire. In Ursu’s riff on The Snow Queen, Hazel is demoralized when her friend Jack refuses to have anything to do with her, instead playing with his male schoolmates. Then he disappears altogether. But fantasy-reading Hazel knows a fairy tale when she sees one: she heads into the woods and successfully negotiates the duplicitous characters she meets. Ursu’s prose is pungent, humorous, and vivid.
