Frozen Man by David Getz, Illustrated by Peter McCarty is the true story of the 5000 year old man found frozen in a glacier near the borders of Italy and Austria. The book begins with the couple who found him while out hiking in the Alps. It follows the "ice man" as the police come to investigate, then anthropologists come to investigate, and they eventually realize they had found something really special. Tools and artifacts were found with the ice man, and scientists were able to determine how he died, his job, what he ate, and many other interesting details about his life.This was a really interesting book. I have seen movies/documentaries and have even read an article in the 6th grade social studies text book about him, but this book gave me a far more comprehensive view of this frozen man.
