At this point in the book--so very early on--all I could think was "White Man's Burden" which is not a theme I want to find in a book published in 2013. Ibottson began writing with the television drama 'Linda Came Today', in 1965. Ten years later, she published her first novel, The Great Ghost Rescue. Ibbotson has written numerous books including The Secret of Platform 13, Journey to the River Sea, Which Witch?, Island of the Aunts, and Dial-a-Ghost. She won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize for Journey to the River Sea, and has been a runner up for many of major awards for British children's literature. Yi is courageous, selfless in her journey to help Everest return to his family. Jin and Peng are loyal friends to Yi and stay with her despite potential danger of her quest. Yi's mother and grandmother are loving, supportive. Positive representation of Chinese characters and culture.

Her books are imaginative and humorous, and most of them feature magical creatures and places, despite the fact that she disliked thinking about the supernatural, and created the characters because she wanted to decrease her readers' fear of such things.

This story, about abominable snowmen and some kids who help them, was tender, funny, and enjoyable to read outloud to my son.

Lady Agatha, the daughter of an aristocratic explorer is kidnapped by yetis in 1912. She realises they are gentle, teaches them to speak, and cares for them. A hundred years pass, and Lady Agatha is still alive. I loved Eva Ibbotson as a kid (Dial-A-Ghost was one of my absolute favorites) but this one didn’t quite do it for me as much. I guess I just prefer ghosts to yetis.
