"Breadcrumbs" by Anne Ursu is a modern retelling of the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," intertwining themes of friendship and the complexities of growing up. The story follows Hazel, an imaginative girl who is deeply affected when her best friend Jack suddenly withdraws and becomes consumed by darkness. When Jack mysteriously disappears into a snowy, enchanted forest, Hazel embarks on a quest to find him, facing various challenges that require her courage and resilience. As she navigates the woods, she confronts fears, discovers her inner strength, and learns about the intricate bonds of friendship that shape her world.
