I Was a Teenage Popsicle

Reader reviewed by Alexis

This book was soooooo good. I didn't understand the title at first, but then I got it once I read the book. This book has a little science in it, but it is amazing. She was frozen so she didn't die and now she is alive again. The mean girl ends up becoming just like her in the end. The place that froze her, also froze her parents but she was thawed before them. How much do you think can change in a year? She finds out soon. She learns to hoverblade and ends up making friends of the future. This book was sooooo good!!!

I don't know what went wrong! It had a great premise and some great characters but it did not fit together as i hoped it would. There was some fun moments and some of the future moments were cool but it was not a great book like i hoped it would be. This book is a good book to read during a vacation or when you have nothing better to do.

I WAS A TEENAGE POPSICLE is a fun page-turner with a great sci-fi twist! Floe Ryan died of an incurable disease when she was sixteen, and her parents make, ah, interesting arrangements for her: she is frozen. Or, more accurately, vitrified. Whatever you call it, when Floe wakes up ten years later when a cure for her disease has been discovered, the world is more than a little confusing! While waiting for her parents to be thawed, she has to live with her younger sister, Sunny--who is now older than Floe, is married, and has a baby. Plus, Floe is way behind on new trends and technology. She's not entirely alone, though--she's got Taz, a hot skater from her old school who was vitrified around the same time as Floe, and thawed at the same time as well.

Some people with way too little faith in cryonics, though, mess things up way more than Floe thought was possible. They're trying to sue the Venice Beach Cryonics Center and force it to close--and Floe's parents haven't even been thawed yet! If she doesn't want to be stuck living with Sunny and without her parents forever, Floe and a few trusted friends have to come up with a way to save the Center, and fast.

I WAS A TEENAGE POPSICLE is an awesomely 'cool' futuristic and fun read that's full of lifelike, interesting characters about whom I can't wait to read more in the upcoming sequel, BEYOND COOL. Bev Katz Rosenbaum has an obvious talent for great ideas and a wonderful way with words! Floe Ryan is one of my favorite fictional characters in a long time, and I know I can't be the only one who feels that way. Her relationship with Taz, however, didn't always feel entirely real to me. Despite that, this book is a definite page-turner; I couldn't put it down!
