It is the year 2064 and London is in crisis. More than thirty percent of the world's population has been killed by a global pandemic and the city state is divided into four zones to prevent further spread. For the past twenty years, each month has seen a different zone plunged into 'freeze' state, the space and its inhabitants literally frozen in time for thirty days. The government explains this as a natural quantum temporal anomaly, but there are those who suspect foul play.

17-year-old James is stuck in the poverty of Zone 4, moving between foster placements with his twin brother, Jake. When he meets the magnetic, rebellious Sasha, he is introduced to the dangerous world of 'tripping' - the illegal practice of breaking into frozen zones. Before long, James is caught up in the schemes of Thaw - a group of young misfits working together to stand up to the government's inequalities - and finds himself with an impossible decision to make.

James wants to uncover any hidden truths about the freeze and save those he cares about from injustice, but how can he do this when it's hard enough to save himself?

The Freeze is a dystopian novel for young adults, brought to you by R.D. Stevens, the award-winning author of The Journal.

A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
