Step into the world of Animalize21’s vibrant new series with El Rulas 1 – The Lost Motillo, where the fun never stops and the reader is part of the action. Rulas has his heart set on a date with La Rulos—but disaster strikes: his beloved “motillo” (mini-motorbike) has been stolen! Now it’s up to the reader to help him recover it.
From the moment you open the book, you’re drawn into a colourful urban neighbourhood that hides clues around every corner. Each chapter presents a fresh challenge: navigate labyrinths, solve “seek and find” tasks, complete sudden surprise quizzes, reassemble scrambled comics, and piece together the identity of the culprit. The suspects? A hilariously eclectic cast: La Rulos, El Ruso, El Profesor, Madre, Santi, Paula, Abuela and more. Did they swipe the motillo? Can you uncover which one did it?
It’s not just a story you read — it’s a mission you engage with. Whether you’re navigating hidden streets or hunting for key clues, the book invites you to turn the page, crack the puzzles and root for Rulas in real time. With 144 pages of content, full-colour artwork by illustrator Rubén Sánchez and sturdy hardcover format, this book makes the perfect gift for children aged about 8 to 12 who enjoy laugh-out-loud humour, interactive reading experiences and a dash of mischievous chaos.
Parents and educators will appreciate that the adventure encourages attention, problem-solving and active participation rather than passive reading. And kids will love its irreverent protagonist—a self-styled “macarra” with big antics and even bigger heart. Whether read alone, shared with siblings or used in a reading group, El Rulas 1 delivers a fun, immersive ride from start to finish.
Add it to your collection and start the chase. The motillo won’t recover itself.
