Lots of ruckus going on at 24 La Pera Street. Be careful, you might get hooked! Meet the most peculiar neighbors in the world!
 
A mysterious business has suddenly appeared in 24 La Pera Street, and very strange things are happening. The neighborhood’s grandparents no longer doze off asleep at random times, they are always alert to what is happening around them and now they spend time walking around the square looking at the sky. And there are days when the guy in charge of the snack stand wears a tie, how strange! The time has surely come for HUGO and OLIVIA to start investigating these strange activities.
Begoña Oro es experta en literatura infantil y fomento de la lectura. Su obra ha sido traducida a varias lenguas y ha ganado el Premio Gran Angular, Premio Hache, Finalista del premio El Barco de Vapor y Premio Eurostars Narrativa de Viajes.

Cientos de miles de niños han aprendido a leer con sus personajes: el rey de la noche, doña Despistes, Superleo, la ardilla Rasi (y su pandilla)... Y han querido seguir leyendo sus «Misterios a domicilio» o sus novelas juveniles.
