by Tim Bowler Frozen Fire is a gripping psychological thriller with paranormal overtones that is impossible to put down. Dusty is still mourning her brother who disappeared over a year ago without a trace and is probably dead. Then she gets a phone call from a strange boy who says, "I'm dying." Dusty is ready to hang up on him when he says some things that make her think he knows something about her brother. It sounds like the boy may really be dying from an overdose, and then she loses voice contact with him. Who is he, and how did he get her cell phone number? She sets off in the winter night to try to find him, since she is pretty sure that he is close and in trouble. Then things get really frightening when a man, two boys, and some wicked-looking dogs join the search. They chase and corner Dusty, demanding to know the whereabouts of the unknown boy. After another contact from the boy, Dusty finds out that other people have also had contact with this mystery boy who seems to be part human, part spirit. He has an affinity with Dusty, but insists that he won't let himself be found because he is too dangerous. There are many people who agree and who want to see this boy dead . . . and who will hurt anyone who stands in their way. Carnegie medal winner Tim Bowler is a genius at plotting and characterization, and this story stands alone as a paranormal mystery about a boy who may not be of this world and a girl who is driven to protect him at all costs. The suspense just keeps building to an unexpected ending and kept me reading most of the night. It's a story that will keep you wondering, and that you won't soon forget. |
