La estrella del fútbol Gustavinho ha desaparecido y la única pista que ha dejado tras de sí para seguir su rastro es una nota de rescate. Amadeo cuenta con 24 horas para encontrar a Gustavinho, antes de la final en la que, sin el jugador estrella, su equipo parece perdido.
¡¿Os imagináis la presión que sufre el detective?! Todo el mundo está expectante: los hinchas, su jefe de la compañía de seguros... ¡hasta sus dos vecinas!
Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.
Amadeo Bola es un detective un tanto peculiar: tiene intuición, inteligencia, y hasta perspicacia psicológica, pero ante todo, es tan patoso que parece imposible entender cómo logra resolver los misterios que se le presentan y acertar la mayoría de las veces.
Y es que, hablando claro, así es: acierta de casualidad.
Jordi Sierra i Fabra nació en Barcelona el 26 de julio de 1947.
Es conocido por su obra como escritor de literatura infantil y juvenil y su trabajo como periodista musical. Su vocación de escritor es clara y firme desde muy temprano: confiesa que dio sus primeros pasos con tan sólo ocho años de edad y a los doce años ya escribió su primera novela larga, de quinientas páginas.
Pese a su clara vocación no contaba con la aprobación o el entusiasmo de sus padres, quienes al acabar el bachillerato le obligaron a trabajar en una empresa de construcción durante el día y a estudiar para ser aparejador durante la noche.
De su infancia ha dicho que 'fui tres veces reprimido: por mi padre, por el régimen y por la escuela franquista'.
Aún así, su determinación y su tenacidad son más fuertes que cualquier obstáculo y sus insistentes cartas semanales a la cadena de radio Cadena Ser le llevaron a convertirse en uno de los fundadores de la revista 'El Gran Musical' en 1968.
En 1970 pudo abandonar los estudios para convertirse en comentarista musical, lo que le permitió viajar por todo el mundo con grupos y artistas del momento mientras cubría sus actuaciones y escribir reportajes.

Before it can destroy the town, she sets off after it, with her pet chimp and sarcastic robot tutor by her side. But monster-hunting isn’t easy, and she’ll have to face a persistent constable, angry locals, and an unexpected friendship ahead—all while the trail for the monster goes cold and time is running out before her science career, and the city itself, are doomed forever.
Full of thrills and heart alike, Frances and the Monster takes readers through winding streets and over perilous rooftops, with wily monsters, unpredictable twists, and powerful friendships waiting along the way.

Part 2 in The series The tales of Amornia. Title: The crimson sceptre
Agnes sat with tears rolling down her cheeks, cradling her grandmother’s bloody head in her lap. She had managed to stem the flow of blood, but she could barely feel Astrid’s pulse. Beside her lay Knox, brother of the Emir of Thulisia’s late wife. The old mariner was unconscious, but breathing steadily.
A dim red light pulsed in the otherwise darkened chamber, fluctuating in brightness as if the thing emitting it was alive. And as it flashed, two formless beings could be glimpsed by the door. They appeared amorphous and seemed to be covered in week-old ash.
The Crimson Sceptre is the second volume in the Tales of Amornia series. It is an exciting, imaginative story about kings, magicians, gods - and an ordinary girl who is destined to make a journey like no other.
The first volume – The Secret of the Stone Bridge – was well-received by readers and critics alike.

So, as decree allowed, the Little Mermaid was permitted to rise out of the sea to sit on the rocks in the moonlight on her sixteenth birthday.

With his signature laugh-out-loud humor, world-famous comedian George Lopez launches a fantastical middle grade series inspired by his own colorful childhood and Latinx folklore.
In this contemporary fantasy, twelve-year-old Jorge is lonely and resentful after being sent to live with his grandparents. His first day at his new school doesn't go well after catching the attention of his belligerent principal and the school bullies, so Jorge might be a little desperate for a friend.
But the only kid who shares his interest in junk food and games turns out to be a young chupacabra-a legendary monster whose kind is known for being bloodthirsty livestock killers. The truth is, Carter is anything but savage-he's kind, a good listener, and has great taste in sneakers. Being friends with a mythical creature should be amazing, but when local cattle turn up dead and his principal suspects the truth, Jorge is torn. Should he trust that his friend is innocent and protect him from exposure, or reveal his dangerous existence and change the world forever?
