El Misterio de Arlene
How would you feel if your parents decided to send you to a boarding school far away from your friends and home town? Right. That's how I felt when I was thirteen: frightened, annoyed and excited, all at the same time. When I went through the doors to Las Camelias, I had the feeling I was entering a place I would never leave. But then, well things weren't so bad. I met Bea and Berto, and, of course, we began getting into trouble. Like when we uncovered the drug trafficking gang operating from our boarding school… Thank goodness for the best friend we could ever have: Arlene. A girl like us, except that, er, well… she's dead. In fact,, she's a ghost of a girl who died in Las Camelias in 1977. And she doesn't remember anything about her death. I'm sure she has a lot of secrets. And she's not the only one. Because Las Camelias is also full of secrets. Will you come with me on an adventure?
