The story follows a family of yetis living peacefully in the Himalayas until their home is threatened and they must travel across the world to find safety. It has the same warmth, humor, and imaginative spirit found in Ibbotson’s other children’s books, with memorable characters and a heartfelt adventure.

As one of Ibbotson’s final works, The Abominables sits alongside her other late-career children’s books like The Ogre of Oglefort and One Dog and His Boy. It shows her ability to create stories that appeal to young readers through a mix of fantasy, gentle comedy, and themes of home and belonging.
