Himalaya
On an expedition to Nepal with her godfather, thirteen-year-old Iona's nightmares return. Frantic to escape them, she runs out from her tent into a snowstorm. When she recovers consciousness, she finds she has fallen among the yeti, the abominable snowmen of Himalayan legend. To the yeti, the captive human child is a talisman, a magical and possibly conciliatory force in the struggle between their warring clans. As cloudtime approaches, the yeti take sides and battle for their own and Iona's survival.

Intressant bok, lite svår att komma in i. Jag tycker först synd om den lilla flickan som skickas till Himalaya av sin mor för att nog samtidigt skydda henne från skvaller etc om föräldrarnas skilsmässa. Men stör mig lite på henne samtidigt som jag beundrar hennes överlevnadsinstinkt. Mysteriet om yetins vara eller icke vara fascinerar mig, alltid gjort. En helt ok bok
