The Goosebumps book where a yeti turns up in California.Jordan and Nicole Blake are sick of the heat in their hometown of Pasadena, California. Then their father, a nature photographer, gets the news of a lifetime — he's been asked to seek out and photograph the Abominable Snowman, a large hairy ape-like beast, in Alaska. Jordan and Nicole get to come along with him, and soon find the Snowman. But when they not only find it but bring it back home in a state of hibernation, along with some snow from its cave, trouble ensues.It is one of the nineteen original series books that was not adapted into the 1995 TV series. It would later be adapted into an installment of the Goosebumps Graphix series, included in the Creepy Creatures collection. It also had a quest line in Goosebumps HorrorTown.It was reissued in the Classic Goosebumps line in 2015 as a tie-in to the first movie.

Uncertain Doom: The book ends with another of the magical snowballs being thrown by someone who didn't realize what they were capable of, this time hitting and freezing the bully Kara solid. And by this time, the Abominable Snowman isn't around to reverse it, leaving her seemingly frozen for good.

Insufferable Genius: Nicole. She eventually turns out to be a fairly good person though, as she even shows compassion for the eponymous snowman when it goes on a rampage, as think of it from his point of view: he's been kidnapped, is likely very hot and uncomfortable, and is just desperately looking for a way home.

Death Glare: When Arthur realizes that Jordan pulled a prank on him and the rest of the Blakes in which they tricked them with fake Yeti footprints, the former gives the latter an extremely sinister look in which his face turns red and is twisted. Jordan in his narration notes that he cannot help but flinch at how scary he looks.

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: The titular "Abominable Snowman" is a yeti, albeit one who lives in Alaska instead of the Himalayas, and has the power to magically freeze himself in ice when he feels like it.

Foreshadowing: When they first find the Abominable Snowman, he is in a block of ice. He breaks out and later on, they return to see he is somehow frozen again. This hints at the fact that the snow in the cave is magic.

Hand Gagging: Jordan does this twice to Nicole: When she was about to tell Arthur more factoids about the tundra. Also when she's yelling too loudly for their father. Unfortunately, he did that too late, as an avalanche is now coming towards them.

 The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Mr. Blake usually is amused by pranks and is delighted when Jordan pulls them off. But when Jordan tries to appeal to his father when the others get mad at him over the fake Yeti footprints he made, Mr. Blake sternly tells him that they are on foreign land and any intrusion in his search plan could lead to unfortunate consequences. This makes Jordan sheepish and apologize. Also, Nicole is usually against Jordan and his pranks, trying to appeal to their father to chew him out. But when she tells Mr. Blake that Jordan is telling the truth about the Yeti when their father does not believe him at first, this makes Mr. Blake give pause and consider.
