“Freeze Frame is, quite simply, a stellar first novel. Heidi Ayarbe’s powerful prose compels you to turn page after page until, along with protagonist Kyle, you reach the necessary resolution to mind-numbing conflict. This story will stay under your skin for a very long time.” - Ellen Hopkins, author of the National Book Award nominee BURNED and the New York Times best-seller IMPULSE
“They may well fight back tears and gulp with grief, but readers will not turn away...Readers of Ayarbe’s debut novel will be delighted that she has a second young adult novel in the works.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
“Readers are quickly drawn into the mystery of guilt or innocence...This book will be appreciated by many teens.” - School Library Journal
“A truly strong first novel, and one with definite appeal to older teens.” - ALA Booklist
