\"\"<\/p>\n

My Frozen Valentine<\/a>
\nby Eric Fein (Author) and Gregg Schigiel and Lee Loughridge (Illustrators)
\n56 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> It’s Valentine’s Day in Gotham, but not everyone is celebrating. Victor Fries (aka Mr. Freeze) has never gotten over the death of his wife, Nora, and he’s not about to let anyone enjoy this painful holiday. Only Batman can stop the cold-hearted criminal before Victor refrigerates the city!<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> “It’s not just the cold temperatures,” Gordon said. “We’ve been getting reports of strange objects hovering over the city. They look like flying saucers with some kind of weapon attached. One police officer said it was a cannon that fired rays of ice.”
