Teen influencers get more than they bargained for when they find themselves trapped in a cabin surrounded by frost vampires in Frostbite, by Ian Boothby and Pia Guerra.
When it’s so cold, it bites!
Teen influencers Jen and Dante post wild videos of themselves doing extreme sports. But when they jump out of a helicopter to ski down a mountain, the stunt goes way wrong. Dante’s ankle gets slashed, and the helicopter crew — who were supposed to be waiting at the bottom of the mountain — are nowhere to be found. As the confused teens seek answers from some locals, they all find themselves flesh-to-fang, trapped in an isolated cabin surrounded by frost vampires!
Their only hope for survival is to make it to sunrise… —Synopsis provided by Graphix
Frostbite is a quick-moving graphic novel thriller with surprises around every corner. Set against the snow-covered backdrop, with bold use of whites, blacks, blues and touches of red, the story has a cinematic feel that transports readers right to the mountainside.
Author Ian Boothby and illustrator Pia Guerra’s work feels seamless, with tension-filled pacing and strong storytelling.
Frostbite is just the right amount of creepy without being overly gory or scary, making it a great choice for young adults of all ages.
