Description

When Dev’s boredom lands him in some trouble, his parents banish him to Everest Base Camp for the summer to join his dad on a research trip. With freezing winds, endless maths worksheets and ice instead of ice cream, Dev expects to have a miserable time. But when he reunites with his friend Hiu the Yeti, he’s invited to Yetiville, which is plagued by a horrible smell. How did the stench reach the world’s highest mountain? And can Dev help the Yetis clear it away while defeating boredom once and for all?

A brilliantly funny and colourful comic with a subtle environmental message by a Newari author and illustrator that includes footnotes and translations of Nepali words and local names.

Publisher Review

“Friends face a big, stinky challenge in the icy Himalayas […] Though more message-driven than the trio’s first encounter, this fresh adventure captures each moment of the twisty-turny story with busy, boisterous glee. The snow-blanketed setting, in icy blue and white (occasionally speckled with colorful trash), is slightly more sedate than urban Kathmandu, but it, too, has a playful, anything-can-happen energy that makes for an equally lovely reading experience. A creative adventure that solidifies an advantageous interspecies friendship.” * Kirkus Reviews *
