“Frozen Fire” is a book written by Tim Bowler that begins with a phone call to a girl named Dusty. The voice on the other end, a boy’s, tells her he’s dying. Even though she’s never met the boy, he seems to know things about her, about what she’s thinking and about her older brother Josh, whom she hasn’t seen in years.
After the call Dusty goes off in search of the boy, following a hunch that he’s at a park nearby her house. She finds a set of footprints and follows them, hoping they belong to the mystery boy, but ends up fleeing from three men with dogs who chase her before she can locate him.
Word of the boy soon starts circulating around her town, rumors that he’s wanted for holding girls hostage and disappearing from another city’s jail. He calls Dusty on her cell phone multiple times, but she fails to get many straight answers from him, especially about her missing brother.
Some claim to have seen a strange boy in a coat hanging around, although no one’s been able to get close enough to question him without something strange or horrible happening.
Liz:
The mystery and intrigue surrounding the boy really work to draw the reader into the book. Dusty’s mission to find him, thinking that with his help she can find Josh, seems doomed from the start, but that only serves to further strengthen her resolve.
“Frozen Fire” is a very suspenseful read, with a touch of supernatural and eerie psychological components that will leave readers wanting more.
Kayla:
“Frozen Fire” was a very interesting book to read. I was at home sick when I got the chance to read the book (and I’m glad that I was). I got to read it more carefully and pay closer attention to the detail.
The book really grabbed my interest from the get go and kept me in suspense through the whole thing. The detail that was put into this book is amazing, but the end really threw me off guard. I was not expecting it to end the way it did, but, after all of the reading, the book was wonderful.
