Convince us to read the book: At first I was led to believe that many of the people Tegan knew were stuck up rich kids. Later you learn that Tegan isn't as much of a tough girl as you think and that she really cares about all the people around her.
Memorable or Forgettable: I had heard of cryonics and it had always interested me. I had wondered what it would be like to die and come alive again.
Cover: Yes for 2 reasons: the girl on the cover has frost on her face which connects with the book and it looked interesting because the girl looked a little strange.
Age Range: 12 through 13
Quality: 4Q Better than most
