When Dusty gets the phone call from a mysterious boy she knows she can not ignore it. He seems to know something about the disappearance of her brother, Josh, which means that Dusty must find the boy no matter what.
But when she does finally meet him, there is something strange and haunting about him. He can see people's thoughts, and feels everything - from chilling ice to white-hot pain... and he seems to have a hold over everyone he meets.
There is talk in the town of the boy's past. Lynch mobs are out to get him. Dusty must help him and find out what happened to Josh. But when the mob turns on her, it is she, and not the boy, who is in the gravest danger...

Famous quotes containing the words frozen and/or fire:
“What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The LORD went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 13:21,22.
