This week on Cracked Spines, we discuss SO MANY BOOKS by British children's fantasy writer Frances Hardinge. Sarah gushes over the strange little girls and bizarre worlds of the books. Cyrus finds a character who is Tobias from Animorphs but somehow sadder and latches onto her instantly. We talk about what defines writing for children and come up with no real answers, but we do get relentlessly bullied by our cats this episode so our lack of conclusion is probably their fault. 

Books mentioned (all, obviously, by Frances Hardinge):
The Lie Tree
Unraveller 
Deeplight
Cuckoo Song
A Skinful of Shadows
A Face Like Glass
