By Eva Ibbotson

The Abominables follows a family of yetis who are forced, by tourism, to leave their home in the Himalayas and make their way across Europe to a possible new home. Siblings Con and Ellen shepherd the yetis along their eventful journey, with the help of Perry, a good-natured truck driver. Through a mountain rescue in the Alps and a bullfight in Spain, the yetis at last find their way to an ancestral estate in England- only to come upon a club of voracious hunters who have set their sights on the most exotic prey of all: the Abominable Snowmen. Renowned literary great Eva Ibbotson delivers a final novel in her classic, much-loved style. 272 pages

"Striking a fine balance between comedy and adventure, this imaginative story features a rich cast of idiosyncratic good guys, both yeti and human, and a number of truly hateful villains (all human, all inhumane). Expressive ink drawings appear throughout the book. An appended note comments that following Ibbotson's death, in 2010, the novel was completed by her son and her longtime editor." -Booklist, Starred Review (Grades 3-6)
