Review *UMA & the Answer to Absolutely Everything*


By Sam Copeland

Illustrated by Sarah Horne

Published by Puffin an imprint of Penguin Random House Children's UK



Well, if you're thinking of getting this book because you need some fun reading, a fast-paced adventure story & writing style that will make you laugh OUT LOUD, you have found the right one! Just make sure you tell all your friends.

Uma's Dad hasn't spoken since her mum died. They manage to exist together but she's very bright, self-sufficient & (almost) unstoppable when she's on a mission.


Finding a strange ear-piece is just the beginning of the craziest adventure you could ever imagine. Alpacas feature through this story & secret treasure that may or may not exist will keep you curious.


Have you ever seen a young boy with fake eyebrows? *What on earth are they made of?* Or a child driving a van? Who is Athena & how does she know so much? With Artificial Intelligence, Uma gets a wish she didn't even see coming & makes some tender discoveries.


Emotional moments for Uma lead back to a very special connection for her dad & the best surprise ever. Solving clues & all the surprises along the way will keep everyone guessing. Physical treasure isn't always the best prize - there's so much else in life to think about.


Will Uma & Alan Alan solve a HUGE mystery? You'll have to read this exciting story to find out! Watch out for drones with very special functions & alpacas who spit! There's also an alpaca burp, a special smile & music that lead to a great ending for (almost) everyone.

Illustrations by Sarah Horne add even more fun to this great story from Sam Copeland. Such a perfect partnership.
