About this book

Dev loves summertime in Kathmandu. With a whole month off school, he spends his time dashing around the bustling Nepalese city, enjoying sleepovers with his cousins, and relaxing with refreshing chilled lassis after fun games of cricket.  

Renowned for his big imagination, Dev is always getting into mischief, so when he claims that he's spotted a Yeti in the sweltering streets, nobody believes him. The Yeti causes havoc wherever he goes, ransacking the kitchen and devouring all the snacks – and Dev gets the blame for it all. 

Determined to prove his innocence, Dev sets out to capture the troublesome creature, enlisting the help of his loyal cat Tuna and his enthusiastic neighbour Joon. Together, they embark on an epic journey to find the Yeti, with unexpected results.  

This entertaining tale, with its accessible comic-strip format and colourful, detailed illustrations, is bursting with energy and brings the sights, sounds and smells of Kathmandu to life wonderfully. 

Readers will love spotting the Yeti hiding within the pictures and will also learn the meaning and pronunciation of some unfamiliar Nepalese words. Look out for the next adventure Yelp! Yeti! Everest Ever After.
