Blame It on the Untz

posted on August 21, 2025

I learned one new word when I read Left-Out Paru, and I learned another when I read Blame It on the Untz! Untz. What a delightful word! And just like so many books I’ve read by Lavanya Karthik, Blame It on the Untz is such a fun book!

A POFFS Friends Story
Blame It on the Untz
Image of a crocodile and four children--one is angry, one is playing a comb hummer, one is beatboxing, one looks nervous.

Adi is excellent at the keyboard. And he never tires of telling people that. The problem is that for the Music Gala, he is stuck with a group that is nowhere near as serious as he is about winning a medal! It looks like his arch-nemesis, Risha (alternatively spelt as Hhriisha or Hrryssa or Rriisha), is all set to win. What can Adi do about it?

Maybe it’s time to feel the Untz with Fuzzy, aka Faizal. The problem is that Adi isn’t ready to do that.

Full of quirky characters like Angry Angira and Human Spelling Bee Hhriisha (and even a dangerous cat), Blame It on the Untz is a hilarious story with unpredictable twists and turns that keeps you reading and smiling all the way through.
