This one should be read by parents as well as teens, especially those working with abused teensBy KcornAt the heart of this book is an odd girl, Lannie, who has the ability to literally get people to freeze during Freeze Tag - or any time she wants. Lannie is not a nice girl but I hope you'll feel as I did, oddly intrigued and drawn to this child (as the book opens) and then the teen she becomes.Lannie loves West

2. but West's heart is drawn to another person, Meghan. That sets up the main plot and tension in this one. I'd argue that this is really only a way to focus on the REAL subject, unwanted or neglected children.It doesn't take a huge leap of imagination to see the symbolism here between the teen with the lack of empathy, the hunger for love, the evil that seems to rest in her soul...and the detached family that seems to pay little attention to her. But the connection isn't heavy-handed and the author of this book balances that point with some fine characterizations, ones that teens and adults should find compelling.There are also other aspects of teen life that are clearly delineated. First loves. Being accepted or being an outsider. Happy families and those that simply don't care about their children - or never think of them much.This book moves along quickly,making it fine for reluctant readers as well as any teen. From the perspective of this adult, I couldn't help thinking about how often we fail our children, intentionally or not. After finishing this one, I went off to find my son and give him an extra hug.IMPORTANT: In reading other reviews, people seemed to have problems with the ending. I did not. I do understand why it left readers wanting a sequel. I'd make the case that the author wanted the reader to imagine the ending. Some may see this as a cop-out but I saw it as a sign of hope in a book with plenty of darkness.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A better frozen heart story than FrozenBy CustomerAfter discovering e-books I went back to one of my favorite books as a child. As an adult I can say this is just as thrilling and chilling as before. Pun not intended. This book is truly integral in moral and touched my heart. Pun also not intended.I am on a roll here am I? I reccomend this book to fans of young adult horror. Well then again, if I may make a critisism or two, I would say that this book isn't as scary as I remember, maybe because I am 21. The symbolism is nicely done and can send a chill down my spine and make me continue reading wondering what will happen next to see if Meghan will get her happy ending. And another critisism that is more of a nitpick is that some of the dialougue is a bit awkward, but other than that I love this book to bits.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. My niece remembers reading this when she was younger and ...By Matthew D GoldmanMy niece remembers reading this when she was younger and was so excited when I found and gave her a copy. Suppose that you really could freeze somebody. When friends Meghan, West, and Tuesday play freeze tag with Lannie, they quickly realize its no ordinary game. When Lannie tags someone, they actually freeze. They turn icy blue and cold. Like death. Years later in high school, the memory of Lannies power has been dismissed as a childhood fantasy, and Meghan and West are the perfect high school couple, totally in love. But Lannie is determined to have the gorgeous West for herselfand if she doesnt get what she wants, shell freeze Meghan . . . to death. Fans know what to expect from Cooney . . . bullet-train pacing and entertaining prose. Kirkus s
