Summary: It was a very touching story
Comment: The book was about a girl named Arden who was raised by her older brother,Scott. When she was 17 her brother had a snowmobile accident, but Arden believes that he staged it. It basically tells how Arden searches to find her brother and how she realizes how important the little things in life are.I really enjoyed reading this book, it taught me a lot about life, love, and families. I learned how important family can be and how you should never take the things that you have for granted because they wil not always be there. I think that everyone should read the book Thin Ice. It had a very realistic plot and a basic story line that is easy to learn a lesson from.

Summary: THE MYSTERY OF THIN ICE STIMULATE A CURIOSITY
Comment: This 261-pages mystery novel, Thin Ice, is written by Marsha Qualey. The story is told by main character, Arden. She is a seventeen-year-old girl who has grown up with her brother in small Wisconsin town after their parents died in a plane crash. Her brother, Scott, is twelve years older than her. One day, Scott crashes his snowmobile through the thin ice on a river, and every body presumes he is dead except for Arden. From this moment, the story falls into mystery. Because the book is written in first point of view, a teenager, the sentences are very outspoken style when Arden narrating. Also, many dialogues are used especially when the time the author has to explaining the situations, but they take important part, which is the giving clue of mystery. The main character, Arden, has a positive characteristic. She is creative, and independent because she has her own workshop, so she makes some frames, and sells them. She is also a stubborn teenager because she refuses to accept her brother¡¯s death. People think it¡¯s brought on by depression. At the same time, the conflict between Arden and the other characters begins. In addition, Arden is a dynamic character. At the beginning of the story she is just a common or frail teenager who has risen by her brother, but she becomes one great teenager who establishes her identity by herself. Because the author makes all the truth about the mystery of Scott¡¯s death clear at the end, each scene stimulates the reader¡¯s curiosity and the unexpected situations make the reader keep surprising. So, this book is fast-paced reading. The author writes this book to make the readers to consider about family, and to show the process of establish identity of one teenager. Even though the genre of the novel is mystery, this book is not too convoluted. Therefore, I highly recommend this book to all teenagers.

Summary: The BEST Book ever!
Comment: I've owned this book for only a year and I've read it over 10 times. 17 year old Arden is an orpha. The only family she has is her 29 year old brother Scott.After a near collusion death her brother Scott starts acting depressed. A couple of weeks later he dissapears while snowmobiling, the same way he almost died. His body is never found but the town of Penoke believes he's dead...except Arden. She searches for him but never suceeds that winter. I won't tell you if she finds him or not but it is an awesome book. Arden is a hilarious character with her wit and sarcasm.My favorite book!
