This is a great story which was about twins, Celia and Oliver who were lazy and loved to watch television. Sadly, they couldn't be as lazy as they wished because their parents were explorers. When a bet was made between their father, Dr. Navel and sinister Edmund S. Titeltorpe_Schmidt III alias Sir Edmund, the twins were forced on a mind boggling adventure with crazy yetis, talking yaks, fake monks, and sky burials among others. 
This book is recommended because it highlights the benefits of being active and seeing the world as opposed to being a "couch potato zombie."
