Tracking the Yeti

Vale, Jenna (author.). Gilman, Laura Anne, (author.).

Summary: "While the woods of North America have Bigfoot, the snowy Himalayan mountains of central Asia are home to the legendary Yeti. A short, ape-like creature covered in white hair, the Yeti, also known as the abominable snowman, has been vexing explorers and locals for generations. Readers will follow the development of the Yeti's lore as well as encounter possible scientific explanations for its existence. They will follow stories of climbing mountains, smuggling artifacts, and testing DNA evidence, all of which have led to more questions than answers. Although the Yeti calls such a remote area of the world home, readers will learn how far the cryptid's reach is in pop culture as well as how many efforts there have been to find it" -- Goodreads.
