Captain Polo's world has been turned upside down. After narrowly surviving disaster at sea, Polo awakens imprisoned in the dark hold of a fishing vessel, destined for captivity in a foreign land. But this young polar bear has no intention of giving up his freedom.
His daring escape launches an unforgettable journey across Asia-from the bustling cities and ancient farmlands of China, to the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas, the hidden monasteries of Tibet, the flooded deltas of Bangladesh, and the vibrant landscapes of India. Along the way, Polo encounters heroes, tricksters, monks, farmers, wild animals... and a mysterious creature whispered about only in legend-the Yeti.
Inspired by the style of the European 'bande desinée' classics 'Tintin' and 'Asterix the Gaul', Polo and the Yeti combines humor, action, geography, culture, and real-world environmental science in a fast-paced graphic novel adventure.
As Polo travels deeper into an ever-changing world, he discovers how climate change is affecting glaciers, wildlife, and communities-and how people across the planet are finding innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love adventure, discovery, science, and stories that matter.Also in
