Bundle up! Dev, Tuna and Hiu are returning for another adventure full of mischief and fun - this time, on the towering heights of Mount Everest in this hilarious comic for newly independent readers.
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.
"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
"With summer winding down and most of his friends away, Dev has spent much of his vacation battling boredom. That changes when his dad volunteers him to tag along on a research trip to Everest Base Camp. While there, Dev reconnects with his old friend Hiu, a yeti, who introduces him to the secret village of Yetiville, home to the Yetis who live high on the mountain. But all is
not well in Yetiville. [...] This follow-up to Pradhan's series starter engagingly blends adventure, humor, and an important environmental message in large panels that nicely bridge from picture books to comics. The story introduces kids to the impact humans can have on fragile ecosystems while showing that even small efforts can make a difference." - Booklist
