Jaclyn moves with her Aunt Greta to a remote village in the Arctic Circle. Jaclyn's mom died when she was 5 and her dad left shortly after she was born, so lives with her Aunt Greta. They just moved to the village from Chicago. Upon arrival in the village, Jaclyn notices strange snowmen in every driveway. She wonders what's going on with that. Rolonda and Eli live near Jaclyn and her aunt in the village and they tell her a story about a live snowman who haunts the village. The snowman lives in an ice cave at the top of the mountain. Is there really a snowman living in an ice cave at the top of the mountain? Just what did happen to Jaclyn's dad? I really liked this one.
