The Abominables
Sharon Rentta, Eva Ibbotson
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 Farlingham 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.

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.

This book brings me back to when I read it 2 years ago. You'll love it!

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.
