«El misterio del solitario» is the mystery and philosophy novel by Jostein Gaarder, published by Siruela in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
A twelve-year-old Norwegian boy travels with his father to Athens in search of his mother. In a village, a baker gives him a bun that hides a tiny book; a dwarf gives him a magnifying glass to read it. The story of Frode, a castaway whose letters come to life, leads him to wonder to what extent we decide our own destiny.

For young readers aged 12 and up looking for a mystery novel with a philosophical backdrop.
