Colder Than Ice
Audience: 4th Grade - 6th Grade

Josh hopes that at his new school he can be 'somebody,' not just another average sixth grader. He meets up with two other new kids who are definitely not average. Skye is a super soccer player and isn't afraid to stick up for herself against the bullies in the school. Mark is a bit harder to describe; he's afraid of snow falling on him and takes pictures of everything. When Corey, the coolest kid in the seventh grade, befriends Josh the atmosphere turns chilly. Will Josh stick up for his friends? Is Corey's friendship real or is there a bad motive behind it?
