From the Publisher

Adam and his friend are exploring the forest near Spooksville when they come across huge blocks of ice, hidden in the trees. They decide to melt one of the blocks with fire. When they do, a strange man comes out of the ice, and tries to grab them. This man has very cold hands, and his eyes aren't to warm either. Soon there are dozens of Cold People running around Spooksville, freezing people. It seems nothing can stop them from making everybody cold.

But Adam and his friends have an idea that just might save the day. Or else get them turned into human popsicles.

The Cold People is the best book I've ever read. I loved everything about it. I did think they could have said a little more about Mu though. I recommend this to everyone.
