Step onto the ice with Frank Zamboni, a clever business owner who solved a very slippery problem. In the 1940s, Frank ran a popular skating rink in California, but keeping the ice smooth was a nightmare. It took five men an hour and a half to scrape, wash, and polish the icy surface using a tractor and a lot of heavy lifting. Skaters hated waiting, and Frank knew there had to be a faster way. Head out to the shed behind the rink, where Frank spent nine years sketching designs and building models. You will read about his many tests and failures as he worked to create a single machine that could do the job of five men in just ten minutes. Discover how his brilliant invention, the famous Zamboni ice resurfacer, completely changed the world of ice skating and winter sports forever.
