"Freeze Tag" by Caroline B. Cooney

The latest book i have read is - yet another- Caroline B. Cooney novel called "Freeze Tag".The kids in the neighbor hood, Megan, West, and Lannie used to play freeze tag until the day when Lannie froze Megan and West. Since that day, Megan and West grew up and became high school sweethearts. Until this year they havent seen Lannie ever since the day she froze them. Now Lannie will do anything to have West, even if it means freezing Megan to death.

"The door of the truck cab was open.
Lannie was swinging on it, pushing herself back and forth with one small foot.She was smiling as she looked inside.
She knew Tuesday and Brown had joined her, but she did not look at them.She was too pleased by what was inside the Chevy.
Brown took Tuesday's hand. She was glad to grip on it.They did not let themselves touch Lannie. They peered into the truck.
Two statues. Cold and white as marble.Carved in a half embrace; lips not quite touching;eyes not quite closed.
Lannie chuckled. "Hello, Tuesday", "Hello, Brown."
The snow ceased to fall.The wind ceased to blow.The world was smooth and pure and white. It lay soft and glittering and glowing on all sides.
"Are they dead?" whispered Brown
"Just frozen" The chuckle was full of rage. "pg.81

In this quote Lannie has found West and Megan in West's truck about to kiss. Lannie freezes them just as Tuesday and Brown come to see what Lannie is up to. Tuesday and Brown are the sibblings of West and Megan. What i love about this quote is the suspence and power in Caroline B Cooney's writing. In this quote I especially love the punctuation usage, such as the short sentances, and the semicolons . I think this continues to add to the power in that one litte paragraph.
