Eleven-year-old twins Oliver and Celia Navel could care less about adventure and they really do not like excitement. They’d rather be watching television. Unfortunately for them, their thrill-seeking parents have dragged them from continent to continent their entire lives. But when their mother goes missing and their father makes a bet with the devious explorer Sir Edmund, the twins are forced into action. They head to Tibet where they fall out of airplanes, battle Yetis, poison witches, and encounter one very large yak.  If they can unravel the mysteries and outwit Sir Edmund, they might just make the discovery of a lifetime . . . and get cable television!

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Excellent writing [and] quick dialogue.” Wired
“Readers will love the clever, ridiculous means by which the twins triumph over their pursuers as their TV expertise helps them outwit many bumbling adults.” Publishers Weekly
“Vance Barber rises to the task of narrating this quest story as he deftly portrays characters ranging from wise Lama Norbu to breathy Professor Greenberg, slimy Sir Edmund, bickering Oliver, and questioning Celia.” AudioFile
“The quirky characters and Snicket-esque narrator should ensure a fan following.” Kirkus Reviews
Thrilling and delightful! Finally, an adventure of the very best kind—the kind that happens to other people. Pseudonymous Bosch, NYT bestselling author of The Secret Series
