Tintin in Tibet by Hergé
5.0
adventurous challenging funny hopeful lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

Flying to China, an airplane crashes in Nepal. Tintin’s friend Chang was on the plane and can’t be found. So Tintin, cute little Snowy his dog, and his buddy the Captain head to the Himalayan Mountains to try to find Chang. Most of this early version of a graphic novel happens in Nepal so I think a small part happens in Tibet solely for the alliteration of the title. This was the first time I’ve read Tintin even though my husband has all of them. Snowy is unbelievably cute and the story can be laugh out loud funny. A bit dated given it was written in the 1950s but nothing too offensive. I enjoyed it immensely and it won’t be my last Tintin book.
