A review by miaelli
Frozen in Time by Ali Sparkes
4.0
*Re-read (13/7/17)*: This book is just as I remember it. It is full of suspense and tension, whilst being a light and fun read. It was really interesting seeing how Polly and Freddy reacted to all the modern day things that they'd never seen before. It was also funny that even though this book is set in 2009 there are already some things that have become out-of-date in the 8 years that have passed since it was released.
Something made my heart swell was that Rachel kept on pointing out the sexist comments Polly and Freddy made, but that Freddy also pointed out that if Polly enjoys doing house work she should be allowed to do it. It was such a positive way to show young people how feminism works.
Although this book is for 9+ I really enjoyed (technically I am 9+); I even enjoyed it more than some of the other books I've recently read. Ali Sparkes has such a creative way of making you fall in love with all her characters in such a short amount of time, and I'll definitely be reading more of her books!
