One of my favorites books



Los Escarabajos vuelan al Atardecer
by María Gripe

In summer, Jonas, David and Annika were devoted to caring for plants in “Quinta Selanderschen” while her owner was out.

In that house there was a plant that seemed to know the people, the same plant showed them the way to the summer room where they found some letters of the eighteenth century, that tell a story of two people who each other and they cannot be together. Also they happen many misfortunes by the curse of an Egyptian statue brought by Andreas.

Whenever they were in the “Quinta” phoned the owner to play a game of chess with David, provides him clues indirectly to solve the puzzles.

The three boys with the help of Lindroth - the parish priest - they manage to find many clues to the whereabouts of the statue but they fail to reach it. Eventually they noticed that the statue was at a museum in England and that the owner of the “Quinta Selanderschen” had died the first day they went to the house to care for the plants.
