A classic from beloved author Eva Ibbotson - now with an updated cover from celebrated illustrator, Jamie Littler. How do you smuggle a family of yetis from Tibet to England? When Agatha Farlingham is kidnapped by a yeti on a mountain in Tibet, she soon discovers that the hairy monster is clever and noble. His children are in danger from the modern world and he needs her help. She sends them on a top-secret journey to England and the safety of her ancestral home. But first she must teach them some manners. . . A rollicking adventure from the extraordinary imagination of one of Britain's most beloved storytellers. This early Iva Ibbottson novel, never submitted for publication, contains all the trademark qualities that made Eva's subsequent books so successful; comedy, loveable and eccentric characters, perfectly-crafted plotting, and inspiring themes of tolerance, kindness to animals, and the defeat of cruelty. REVIEWS ""Ibbotson is one of the greatest children's writers of our time"" The Times ""A classic"" The Daily Mail ""A hugely enjoyable and witty rollick"" Mal Peet, Guardian

I have read this book twice now. It is my favourite. I like the adventure in it and it has lots of funny bits. My favourite character is Lucy and I love the part when the yetis learn to say sorry and then they apologies to everything they eat. I want to read more books by Eva Ibbotsom and give it five stars. I would recommend it to people who like comedy and adventure.

The abominables is a fictional book about a group of yetis. My favourite character is Ambrose because he’s a bit of a clown and makes many jokes. I would recommend this book to my friends

My favourite character in this book is Ambrose because he is very weak on the start but gets better at the end. This book is very positive and I learnt that anything is possible.

Because it is funny. However, in some parts of the book it is a bit sad. So I would recommend this book for children who are 6 or older.
