Explanation Toward Books Rooftoppers

Everyone thinks that Sophie is an orphan. True, there were no other recorded female survivors from the shipwreck which left baby Sophie floating in the English Channel in a cello case, but Sophie remembers seeing her mother wave for help. Her guardian tells her it is almost impossible that her mother is still alive, but that means still possible. You should never ignore a possible. So when the Welfare Agency writes to her guardian threatening to send Sophie to an orphanage, she takes matters into her own hands and flees to Paris to look for her mother, starting with the only clue she has - the address of the cello maker. Evading the French authorities, she meets Matteo and his network of rooftoppers - urchins who live in the sky. Together they scour the city for Sophie's mother before she is caught and sent back to London, and most importantly before she loses hope.

This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever read! <3 The writing style was simply phenomenal! Strongly recommend this to people who enjoy art it its finest!

This is what reading is all about! Dare to dream. This is all the magic, and wonder, hope and inspiration abound. I bought this book for my daughter's birthday and it is without doubt, perfection in choice. It is a story about a baby found in a cello case floating in The English Channel. A Girl, found on her first birthday. It is a story about her search for her long lost mother. A search that will take her to the rooftops of Paris. Adventure awaits. A perfect gift to pass from Mother to

"They told me that she was dead, and I didnt believe them. Why did she believe it? Why didnt she keep looking?"      "My darling, because she is an adult."      Sophie ducked behind her hair. Her face was hot and tight and angry. "Thats not a reason."      "It is, my love. Adults are taught not to believe anything unless it is boring or ugly."      "Thats stupid of them," she said.      "Sad, child, but not stupid. It is difficult to believe extraordinary things. Its a talent you have,

Loved this book. Heart eyes for Sophie and Charles and Matteo.

Rooftoppers started out brilliantly; the first chapters were full of whimsy and a sense of randomness that I completely fell in love with. The beginning of the story, which chronicles how our heroine, Sophie, is found as a baby floating in the ocean in a cello case and adopted by the kind-hearted scholar, Charles, was a pure delight. However, once the book became plot driven, with Sophie and Charles going on a journey to find her mother, it lost its magic for me.Also, Rooftoppers ended extremely

Mother Daughter Book Club Review:Mother: Great story with spoonfuls of creamy dream-like prose. Loved most young Sophie and her adventures with the rag-tag friends who dwell on rooftops and trees, especially Matteo and the almost more-than-friendship introduced by Rundell...reminiscent of Secret Garden with maybe a dash of Heathcliff in hardscrabble Matteo, the lone wolf kid all haunted, passionate, and grim. (Jump, Sophie, jump. You might die, but maybe you won't. And here, here are my scars

4 1/2 stars. This is pretty close to five stars and I might change my mind yet. Just a beautiful, lyrical and magical book, even though there is no literal magic or fantasy elements. karen pretty much nailed it when she said this was "classic-feeling". This whimsical historical tale has something timeless and wonderful about it - like all the best children's classics. The characters are so well-drawn and memorable, and the writing sparkles with a certain bittersweetness.It's about a spunky,
