"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
doesn't 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
Children's 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 Lo's A
Line." --Publisher's Weekly
