Freeze Tag by Caroline B. Cooney
4.0
I can see how some people might not enjoy this book. It doesn't give you a lot of explanation. But as a Caroline B. Cooney enthusiast, wow this just checked all the boxes for me.
She writes about suburbia in the most nostalgic and somehow horrific ways possible. I love how she waxes poetically about kool-aid for a full paragraph. There's nothing quite like it. Her words just stick with me. I always end up highlighting like half her stuff, feeling like I've been pulled into this little world that only she can write.
And yeah, this book is about a girl who can *literally* freeze other people into statues and eventual death and when I tell you, the scenes where main character Lannie just does this for fun—to watch people suffer—were absolutely (all puns intended) chilling.
Also, if you want a book that's just steeped in winter imagery, this knocks it out of the park.
