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.
