The Abominable

Product Information

A newspaper brought with them carries word that famed mountaineer George Mallory has died trying to climb Everest. Ibbotson has written numerous books including The Secret of Platform 13, Journey to the River Sea, Which Witch? Probably several characters would have been cut or merged if she'd had the opportunity to edit the manuscript more thoroughly, giving necessary space to the characters with more interesting arcs. All the contemporary characters are blessed with impossible foresight, as though they were fashioned by a 21st century author. I thought that the Abominable was quite an exciting book but it was very sad when one of the yeti nearly died at the end.

The Abominable by Dan Simmons | Goodreads

The Abominable" continues in this vein with a fictionalized account of the race to climb Mount Everest in 1925. The gift from Brother Immanus Usef was beautifully packaged with a wax seal and horrifying blood spatters. Past titles have included The Anxiety Solution by Chloe Brotheridge and The Little Book of Calm by Paul Wilson. You’ll be able to curate an interesting bookshelf whilst also giving a new lease of life to books that have been long forgotten. Anyway, when I was younger, I picked up The Secret of Platform 13 at a book sale, and Ibbotson charmed me with the wizard who grows turf on his head and the not so-hag-like hag and their merry misfit friends.For me, the main hook is the second-hand book, picked by the mysterious Brother Immanus Usef, The Head Curator of The Accursed Library. Each one includes a book focused on personal growth and development as well as a few gifts to help you get in the zone. He does much of his writing at Windwalker—their mountain property and cabin at 8,400 feet of altitude at the base of the Continental Divide, just south of Rocky Mountain National Park. The kids had varied tastes: Some liked high fantasy, others superhero stories, many enjoyed realistic portrayals of teenage life. Yet Simmons feels the need to repeatedly remind us every time a hunk of rope is used that the Deacon’s ‘miracle rope’ is much better the old ‘clothes line’ rope.
