A hundred years ago, in the Himalayan peaks of Nanvi Dar, the daughter
of an English earl is kidnapped by a huge hairy monster. In
a secret valley Agatha Farley is introduced to a family of motherless
yetis and devotes her life to their upbringing. She teaches
them to speak, tells them stories and insists on polite manners.
But as the decades pass, tourists come to the mountains, a hotel
is built and yeti-hunters arrive. Agatha knows that there is
one place in the world where they would be protected – her ancestral
home at Farley Towers. When a boy and his sister stumble upon
her hidden valley, she knows she has found the courageous people
who will carry out her plan.
Reviews
In this book, some unknown animal lived in the mountains of Nanvi Dar. The dad goes out at night and steals a beautiful girl called Lady Agatha and takes her to Nanvi Dar where she meets Lucy, Clarence and Ambrose. I think it is a good book because it has adventures.

My favourite character in this book was Lucy because she is really relatable, very funny, she loves food and she always apologies to the food for eating it. I would recommend this book as I liked it and they might too.

I thought that the Abominable was quite an exciting book but it was very sad when one of the yeti nearly died at the end. My favourite character was Ambrose, he was very funny throughout the story. I wouldn’t recommend this book because it was a bit slow and boring but if people like that kind of stuff then yes I think they would like it.

The book was about Ellen, perry and Grandma all trying to save the yetis from being hunted down. But to do that they had to protest in front of the queen. The characters hope the queen will tell the people to stop hunting the yetis. I didn’t really enjoy the book even though I finished it. I prefer more humours bookstore I would recommend it to someone who likes books with lots of detail.

I really enjoyed this book. I was funny in some places sad in others. I really liked al the characters especially the Yetis. Although if I had to choose one it would be Ambrose the Abominable who is one of the Yetis. The funniest character would have to be Hubert the Yak. I definitely recommend this book as this is now one of my favourites and think everyone would enjoy it.

I like the book because it was fascinating

My favourite character was Lady Agatha because she took the Yeti's in just like her own children and was a kind and gentle woman from a baby to elderly. This book was an adventure story about a family of yeti's being raised by a young lady and then going to Farley Towers. They had to travel with Con and Ellen in a big truck owned by Perry who dreamed of breeding a brand new pig called the "Perrington Porker". I would definitely recommend this book to all of my friends.

This book is fiction. It is about some yetis, a funny yak called Hubert, some kind children who help them and some bad hunters who want to kill them. My favourite yeti was Ambrose the Abominable. I would recommend this book.. It made me laugh sometimes and cry sometimes.
Marshal Pixie Foxtail 06.09.2020
This is a hilarious classic book. I love all the detail put into the characters and how the yetis say sorry to everything, even the food they are going to eat. When they are leaving, they say goodbye to everything including the wall, the ceiling and even the shower. I would recommend this book to children between three and ten years old, although I think the three year olds wouldn’t really understand it if they picked up the book and read it by themselves.

I read this book with my Mum - it was really great. I loved getting to know all the yetis and reading about their adventures from Nanvi Da.
