Filled with humour, heart and a touch of the supernatural, this second book in a brilliant new series takes you on a non-stop adventure in The Himalayas, perfect for the most intrepid of readers!
An action-packed cross between Adventures on Trains and My Brother is a Superhero.
When Maisie travels with her Dad to the Himalayas to research his book, How to Find Buried Treasure, she doesn't expect their exploration to take them deep into the caves beneath the mountains. Before long, Maisie has discovered a cursed treasure, stolen a shark, been hunted as a thief, walked through an underground lake and outrun an explosion. Just another average day!
Turns out there's more to Maisie than she even realised herself, but will Dad tell her truth? Or is this secret just too dangerous?

This is a must-read adventure book. It’s fast paced and it keeps you on your toes as you try and work out what will happen next.
Maisie vs the Himalayas is an amazing adventure book with a slight element of comedy.
It is the second book in the series and after finishing it I immediately asked my parents to get me the first book (Maisie vs Antarctica) which I can’t wait to read.
Maisie seems like an ordinary girl but she has an extraordinary power - stopping time - well for a few seconds before passing out, but it’s better than nothing!
She goes on a work trip to the Himalayas with her Dad “as a punishment” for not keeping her promises.
While there they meet Renata, a strange woman who her Dad doesn’t like. And the adventure through the Himalayas begins.
I would definitely give this book 5 stars.... Read Full Review
A magical book about finding what is important. A really exciting book to read.
I really enjoyed reading more about Maisie. She has great adventures which are exciting and kept me gripped. There is magic and Maisie learns more about her powers and her family.
In this book Maisie goes with her dad to Bhutan for his book about finding buried treasure.... Read Full Review
I love both the Maisie books, but this one is definitely my favourite.
Maisie discovers more about her mum and her abilities. I really like how Maisie learns more about herself. The storyline is great. She goes exploring a gigantic cave under the mountains with her dad. I think Maisie really enjoys herself. She is so spirited and picks up her new powers super-fast. She breaks her promises quite a lot but for good reasons though. I found it impossible to put down. It is an amazing book. I love it loads. I really like how small the chapters are.... Read Full Review
