    Popsicle girl is back, except hardly anyone knows that she ever was a popsicle to begin with.

    Floe Ryan was just getting used to the new world she lived in, having been frozen while the whole nation was
    changing. From hovercars to wacky fashions, it was definitely a different place. But it’s a good thing that Floe has
    her family and her supportive boyfriend to back her up… right?

    Well, Floe’s life may have just gotten even more dramatic. Her boyfriend, Taz, seems to be questioning their
    relationship, and Samara, one of Floe’s classmates, is flirting up a storm with him. But that may not matter since a
    new guy is finding interest in Floe. Everything else, though, is just going downhill, from driving to her teachers to
    skating.

    But what’s worse is when Floe learns that those who were frozen, like she was, just might possibly be at a greater
    risk to catch other harmful viruses. This is the perfect chance for Floe, her best friend, Sophie, and even Taz to set
    out on a mission. All they need to do is find Dr. Simkofsky, who will help them find a cure for these viruses.
    Unfortunately, he isn’t the easiest to track down. But, who knows, maybe this will be the perfect chance for Floe
    and Taz to reconnect… just maybe.

    BEYOND COOL makes cryonics awesome and leaves you wanting more. Bev Katz Rosenbaum makes you
    wonder what is possible in the near future for our world, and in Floe Ryan’s. This is a sequel that will satisfy
    anyone who loved the first novel, I WAS A TEENAGE POPSICLE.
