Or her blog?) and something in what she wrote made me think, "yeah, ok." It's interesting to me that it seems to be taking a while to really catch on, even after winning the Printz Award; then again, it's sort of hard to describe/recommend, I guess.Mrs. Silversteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081113623522933830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-25678831301743613662012-08-03T12:35:02.313-04:002012-08-03T12:35:02.313-04:00Thanks for the rec on 'Where Things Come Back&...Thanks for the rec on 'Where Things Come Back'.

That sounds pretty good actually.)<br /><br />It just occurred to me that if you crossed Etienne's hair and accent and Cricket's nice pants and general nerdery, I think you get David Tennant's Doctor Who--perhaps my all-time greatest fictional crush (or at least in the top five.)
