«Fünf Yetis suchen ein Zuhause» is Eva Ibbotson's children's novel, published by Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag in hardback (286 pages, in German).
The daughter of an English earl, kidnapped in the Himalayas by a yeti, devotes her life to secretly raising the family of yetis she finds in a hidden valley. When the valley becomes unsafe, two siblings help her move them to England on a journey through Europe full of mishaps, rescues, and a very special yak.
It is a posthumous novel by Eva Ibbotson, originally published in English as «The Abominables» in 2012; this 2013 German edition was nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
It is intended for young readers seeking adventures with humour and fantastical creatures; Eva Ibbotson's gentle tone also appeals to adults.
Eva Maria Charlotte Michelle Ibbotson was an Austrian-born British novelist, known for her children's literature. Some of her novels for adults have been reissued for the young adult market.

She was a finalist for the 2010 Guardian Prize at the time of her death. Her last book, The Abominables, was among four finalists for the same award in 2012.
