- Violeta y sus amigos no pueden dar crédito a su suerte cuando los invitan a pasar unos días en una isla tropical. - Pero cuando unos viejos enemigos se presentan en el hotel y desaparece una valiosa estatuilla, Violeta está segura de que los taimados visitantes están detrás de todo. - Una carrera contrarreloj, y contra un tigre hambriento, para descubrir la verdad...Violeta vive con un gato al que llaman Pudin para abreviar (en realidad, su nombre es Pudin de tofe pegajoso); su cacatúa, la maharaní; su madre, Camila Cler, diseñadora de joyas, y su padre, Benito Morado, arquitecto. Viven en un piso con mucho estilo e increíblemente ordenado; en la parte posterior del edificio hay un gran jardín que comparten todos los niños y adultos que viven en los alrededores. La mejor amiga de Violeta es Rosa; su familia vive en la misma calle y ella va al mismo colegio que Violeta.Violeta hace muchas actividades después del colegio. De hecho, está tan ocupada que hasta tiene un calendario especial en su habitación para saber dónde tiene que ir cada día. La actividad preferida de Violeta es la escalada, por eso va dos veces por semana. Violeta es hija única, y por consiguiente pasa una gran parte de su tiempo con adultos. A veces esto puede resultar un poco aburrido, pero también significa aprender muchas cosas útiles, como, por ejemplo, leer la carta de un restaurante en francés, preparar un cóctel perfecto y jugar al póquer. Cuando sus padres están trabajando, Norma, el ama de llaves, es quien la cuida; Norma no habla mucho, pero cuando dice algo merece la pena escucharla.

- La Violeta i els seus amics no se'n saben avenir quan els conviden a passar uns dies en una illa tropical.- Però quan alguns dels seus vells enemics es presenten a l'hotel i una estatueta molt valuosa desapareix, la Violeta està convençuda que aquests visitants tan astuts hi tenen alguna cosa a veure.- Descobrir la veritat serà una cursa contra-rellotge... i contra un tigre famolenc!La Violeta viu amb un gat que es diu Púding (de fet, el seu nom complet és Púding de Toffee Enganxós), la seva cacatua maharaní, la seva mare, la Camila Cler, que és dissenyadora de joies, i el seu pare, en Bonaventura Mora, que és arquitecte. Viuen en un pis amb molt estil i increïblement endreçat; a la part de darrere de l'edifici hi ha un gran jardí que la Violeta comparteix amb tots els altres nens i adults que viuen al voltant. La millor amiga de la Violeta és la Rosa; la seva família viu al mateix carrer i ella va a la mateixa escola que la Violeta.La Violeta fa moltes activitats després de l'escola. De fet, està tan ocupada que a la seva habitació fins i tot té un calendari especial per saber on ha d'anar cada dia. L'activitat preferida de la Violeta és l'escalada, i per això en fa dues vegades a la setmana. Com que és filla única, la Violeta passa llargues estones amb persones grans. Això de vegades és una mica avorrit, però també ha après algunes coses molt útils, com per exemple, a llegir la carta d'un restaurant en francès, preparar un còctel perfecte i jugar al pòquer. Quan els seus pares treballen, la Norma, la majordoma, té cura d'ella; no parla gaire, però quan ho fa val la pena escoltar-la.
