English–Arabic English–Bengali English–Catalan English–Czech English–Danish English–Hindi English–Korean English–Malay English–Marathi English–Russian English–Tamil English–Telugu English–Thai English–Turkish English–Ukrainian English–Vietnamese I would highly recommend The Abominables to readers that are fans of the late, great Eva Ibbotson. Readers that enjoy animal stories, humor, and adventure will greatly enjoy the story. I am a little unsure on my age recommendations as I think readers around 8 and older would be my best guess. However, there is quite a bit about animal rights and cruelty so some of the youngest set might be upset by. However, (spoiler) every character gets their happy ending so that might be enough to make the mild upset worth the big happy that is sure to follow. I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads. Oh my goodness, this book is amazing! Lady Agatha is only a girl when she is snatched from her tent, camping in the mountain with her loving father. A Yeti has taken her, and his children and relatives need Agatha's help. They are all in danger of being hunt and killed by horrible and pesky men. This book is so well written, and I love this book.

THE ABOMINABLES is a delightful, imaginative tale with a strong moral center. There are some laughs about the yetis, who sometimes take it to far (such as apologizing to a cake they're about to eat), but the earnestness of this novel is charming. The darker moments keep THE ABOMINABLES from becoming saccharine. The Hag, the Troll, Dr Brainsweller and a most unmagical orphan, Ivo, are despatched to dangerous lands to slay the flesh-eating Ogre of Oglefort and rescue the princess.

Anyway, young Aggie simply can't resist the cute baby yetis, so she decides to stay in their valley and teach them to be proper and civilized. The yetis learn English, and also "their sums and their alphabet and how to sing hymns." Agatha also explains that one must always apologize and the yetis go a bit far, apologizing to the grass they walk on and the fruit that they eat. This becomes rather irritating, as you can imagine. Thankfully, Agatha comes up with a solution: teach them how to say grace and thank God for their meal! Shortlisted for the 2012 Guardian children's fiction prize and One of Julia Eccleshare’s Stand-out Children’s Book of the Year 2012. July 2012 Book of the Month. I grabbed this book on impulse at the library several days ago. As I read through it, I strongly suspected that it was a posthumous publication, and a subsequent search confirms this; this is probably why the book is a little odd to read. The story feels overstuffed and overdeveloped at some points and frustratingly bare bones at others. A little of Eva Ibbotson's trademark charm peeks through in certain spots, but not as often as I'd hoped. Writing my books is like handing out presents. Giving children pleasure gives you a wonderful sort of Father Christmassy feeling.'

Eddie Izzard as Burnish, a wealthy man and head of Burnish Industries who wants to catch a Yeti. [12] Briskly funny and full of incident, The Abominables is vintage Ibbotson. With unforgettable characters and thoughtful messages about the environment and advocacy, it’s a generous last gift to her many devoted fans. The manuscript of The Abominables was discovered among Eva Ibbotson's papers by her son after her death aged 85 in 2010. It's an early novel written well over 10 years ago that was never submitted for publication. However, it contains all the trademark qualities that made Eva's subsequent books including Journey to the River Sea and One Dog and his Boy so successful; comedy, loveable and eccentric characters, perfectly-crafted plotting, and inspiring themes of tolerance, kindness to animals, and the defeat of cruelty. Sharon Rentta, who drew the superb dog characters for One Dog and his Boy has illustrated it. It's a wonderful story and a classic in the making. Kenny, Glenn (26 September 2019).
