«Los escarabajos vuelan al atardecer» is the young adult novel by Maria Gripe, published by SM in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Three young people looking after an uninhabited country house come across strange enigmas: a plant that seems to pick up words and feelings, a phone through which a voice plays chess with them, a rare beetle, and 18th-century letters telling the love story of Emilie and Andreas, cut short by the curse of an Egyptian statue.
The original title, Tordyveln flyger i skymningen, dates from 1978. The Spanish edition was published in 1996 in SM's Gran Angular collection.
Recommended for young readers aged about 10 to 12 and for those who enjoy mystery and intrigue novels.
