This nonfiction piece is about the discovery of the tomb of Lady Dai and 2 other tombs in China. What is extraordinary about the find it that Lady Dai's body was very well preserved. So well preserved that they were able to do an autopsy on it and it was over 2000 years old. By piecing together the artifacts in the tombs and the others nearby scientists, historians, and archeologists were able to learn a lot about ancient China.
Who will like this book? If students are already interested in China or archeology then they may like this. The cover may intrigue others. Not sure how well this will circulate. I found it interesting though.
