Breadcrumbs Review

Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I greatly enjoyed this story to no end, but at a very whimsical level. I really liked how Ursu used the texturing of her descriptions. The part I didn't really care to much for was Hazel's school, and the racism that was portrayed. This a bothered me a bit, and I'm noticing a trend in newer books that are using fairy tale characters/retellings.
I think personally what hit the most was Jack's mother, and her depression issues. Not very often have I come across such a raw and honest response of what you would tell your child when you're explaining mental issues about friends and loved ones.
Characters that made this book were: the wolves, the Fates, Ben, and the Little Matchstick Girl.
Would I read it again? Most definitely.
