Cold: A Novel - Mariko Tamaki Book
This is the story of a boy who diedand a girl who wants to know why.Todd Mayer is dead. Now hes some sort of ghost, hovering over his body, which has just been found in the town park, naked and frozen in the snow. As detectives investigate Todds homicide, talking to the very people who are responsible for how he died, Todd replays the events that lead him to his end in the park.Georgia didnt know Todd. But she cant stop thinking about him. Maybe because theyre both outcasts at their school, or because theyre both queer. It might also be because Georgia has a feeling shes seen Todd somewhere before, somewhere he wasnt supposed to be.In the vein of The Lovely Bones, this narrative is an immersive, emotional, and provocative read.
P> Review "Tamaki skillfully weaves issues of power, vulnerability, and sexual orientation into the teen-ghost trope... A tightly constructed page-turner that poses big questions about character, morality, and truth." --The Horn Book"Sharp and authentic, Cold doesnt just take its title from the chill of a wintry day but also from the cruelty and isolation of adolescence. Readers who love intense, suspenseful storytelling will devour it in one sitting." --BookPage"Tamaki is so gifted at creating vulnerable, damaged, and compelling characters." --The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books (BCCB) "This is an immersive, suspenseful reading experience... it should spark discussions about peer pressure, bystander syndrome, and what we owe to each other." --Booklist"[Great for] fans of introspective mysteries such as Malinda Los A Line." --Publishers Weekly Review A boy, a body, a secret.
