Title: Breadcrumbs
Author: Anne Ursu
KDL Description:
This isn’t an ordinary lost-in-the-woods adventure. When Hazel’s best friend Jack absconds to the woods with the Ice Queen, Hazel leaves a trail of breadcrumbs and goes in to rescue him. Along the way she encounters a host of characters, each lost in the woods in their own ways. The story is one of growing up and wondering if what you want most will truly make you happy, or just happy for now. Good stuff- especially for a J book! I found I was thinking about it for some time after I finished it.

Amazon Description:
A stunning modern-day fairy tale from acclaimed author Anne Ursu
Once upon a time, Hazel and Jack were best friends. But that was before he stopped talking to her and disappeared into a forest with a mysterious woman made of ice. Now it’s up to Hazel to go in after him. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” Breadcrumbs is a story of the struggle to hold on, and the things we leave behind.
