Great and Awesome are both good words to describe the book Frozen Fire. The plot runs through a sequence of descriptive events that sets the scene for the introduction in a detailed fashion. Realistic Fiction is the genre of Frozen Fire because of when the two characters Matthew and Kayak go off on their own and have to survive a section of the winter alone. If you enjoy one awesome climax this is a great book because of adventure that both Kayak and Mathew go through.
The two main characters in the the book Frozen Fire are Matthew and Kayak. The characters change throughout the story which makes the read much more enjoyable. For example when Matthew gets to the small town that his father will be working in. He does not at all want to stay or be going to school there and wants to go back to Arizona, his home town. His father and Charlie go to check a copper mine that they believe may make them rich. Mathew realizes that his father and Charlie may be dead or in serious danger. The two boys set out for what turns out to be a very adventurous search. When Mathew and Kayak return Mathew feels very close to the small community and his father.
James Houston has a fairly basic writing style but often I thought that his writing style lacked the excitement that you would picture in your mind. Houston was not very dramatic at scenes of confusion, fury excitement etc. I thought that the book Frozen Fire was not well written at parts but still a good story. I think that the book out of 10 is a 7.
