2011 book 262

Anne Ursu's Breadcrumbs
I've read a few of Ursu's earlier books, and I believe they are more straight-up fantasy books--but here, magic collides with the real world (I love books like that). In this one, an eleven year old girl's friend gets taken away by a Narnia-like White Witch (but of course there's more to the story than that). I loved all the literary references here (at one point the protagonist starts to read a book that goes unnamed, but I recognized it as Rebecca Stead's When You Reach Me, one of the awesomest books ever). Very readable MG book. B+.
