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!

      Unlike their explorer parents, 11-year-old twins Celia and Oliver are content to nestle into their couch and memorize the scripts of television programs. When fate takes them in search of their missing mother and the Lost Tablets of Alexandria, those television skills are cast in a new light. 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. As the twins encounter yetis and yaks, visit with the evil witches, and continually debate which TV shows to emulate, the story drags a bit, but Barber provides momentum with a brisk pace. A.R.
