«Olfato de detective» is the young adult novel by Christine Nöstlinger, published by Alfaguara in paperback (164 pages, in Spanish).
Yago, an eleven-year-old boy who is restless and observant, writes a diary in which he recounts the events of his life and expresses his feelings. The author interweaves her own narration with fragments from those pages, so that the reader discovers the protagonist's intentions and point of view and better understands his way of thinking and acting.
Translation from German by Rosa Pilar Blanco. Original title: «Spürnase Jakob-Nachbarkind»; the original work was published in 1992.
Recommended for ages 12 and up, for readers seeking stories narrated from the point of view of a protagonist their age.
