Paula Saiz, más conocida como Paula Marple, es una niña de doce años a la que le encantan las series, las películas y leer historias sobre detectives y casos policiacos. En su colegio, y más concretamente en su clase, se produce una desaparición: la del dinero que han pagado para poder disfrutar de un viaje de fin de curso. La tutora confía en ellos y les da una semana para que aparezca, y ahí comienza la investigación de Paula junto a su amigo y vecino Eric. Durante toda la semana, ambos seguirán diferentes pistas, harán averiguaciones, interrogarán a varios compañeros y vivirán momentos de verdadero peligro. Parece que es una simple desaparición, pero detrás se esconden problemas de acoso escolar, partidas clandestinas de videojuegos y problemas familiares. Esta historia, además de entretener a los lectores, pretende concienciar a los niños y niñas de diez a quince años del serio problema del acoso escolar. También es importante dar a conocer los problemas que pueden ocasionar el mundo de los videojuegos e internet a los jóvenes y lo peligroso que es hablar con desconocidos. Pero no todo son problemas, porque en esta historia se muestran también dos grandes valores: la amistad y el compañerismo.

English Description:

Paula Saiz, better known as Paula Marple, is a twelve-year-old girl who loves series, movies and reading stories about detectives and police cases. In her school, and more specifically in her class, there is a disappearance: that of the money they have paid to be able to enjoy an end-of-year trip. The tutor trusts them and gives them a week to appear, and that's where Paula's investigation begins with her friend and neighbor Eric. Throughout the week, both will follow different leads, make inquiries, interrogate several colleagues and experience moments of real danger. It seems that it is a simple disappearance, but behind it are hidden problems of bullying, clandestine video game games and family problems. This story, in addition to entertaining readers, aims to make children aged ten to fifteen aware of the serious problem of bullying. It is also important to make known the problems that the world of video games and the internet can cause to young people and how dangerous it is to talk to strangers. But it's not all problems, because in this story two great values are also shown: friendship and companionship.
