“Kids can handle a lot more than you think they can. It's when they get to be grown up that you have to start worrying.”
Anne Ursu, Breadcrumbs

“But if you were Charlotte, and you had been feeling that life was some cosmic joke that had no punchline, and in the space of a moment you had gone from being Charlotte-without-a-kitten to being Charlotte-with-a-kitten, you too would have found it nothing short of remarkable.”
Anne Ursu, The Shadow Thieves

“The halls were empty. Charlotte had missed the first bell and would be late, again. Her homeroom teacher would ask her for an excuse and she would say, 'Overwhelming feeling of dread.' That was going to go over nicely.”
Anne Ursu, The Siren Song
