Albrecht, Saar and Timonen are on a routine mission in Antarctica when a nearby volcano erupts with unusual force. The yetis investigate and uncover an evil plot to bring fiery volcanic destruction to the world. With only their wits and their ace yeti skills to help them, the team must travel to New York and beyond to save humanity before it goes up in smoke!
This series is original and entertaining, but not my personal favourite. My seven year-old, however, has really enjoyed me reading them out loud at bedtimes and there is plenty of action. He would probably rate it at four or five stars, so perhaps I should too. Alex Milway has created a wide range of great characters with some excellent banter between the three yetis and a classic cartoon-style bad guy for them to defeat each time. The chapters always begin with three to four pages in graphic novel format with engaging back and white drawings. The rest of the chapter is in prose. My son likes this format a lot.
