Step 3.0



My book "The Mysterious Object" was about glaciology: the study of glaciers. It was about a boy who lived in the foots of the Chilean Andes Mounains. This area is known for making the top quality glace. One day, he found an englacial body. Of course, the body was dead, but it had something that was really mysterious. It was a piece of paper with a phone number in it. What was strange was that, according to glaciologist Bob Smith, in the time of the man there were no cell phones. 

The body was from the time that the weather was glaciating every mountain. It was very well preserved because it was frozen. However, the body emitted a horrendous pong. It was awkward putting it inside museum car because the smell was horrible. The owner of the car abused of the lemon law and demanded the car company to give him another one since the "bad smell was the car's fault".

Oscar, the boy who found the frozen man, couldnt contain his curiosity and called the number. A person in a ghetto of Jerba answered. His name was Mohammed Gupda. Mohammed listened to the story about the frozen man and almost died of a heart attack. According to a legend of his family there was a ghoul who raided the tomb of the frozen man's family.

The whole story is how Oscar goes to Jerba to find that ghoul. He and the glacialist Smith try and try to find it.  But they never do.

I would reccomend this story to anybody who is willing to read long adventure books. This is not the best book of all time but it is very entertaining. Also, you will learn many new things about Jerba's culture, Oriental mythology, South American geography and glaciers.
