"The beauty of sky, music, and the belief in 'extraordinary things'
triumph in this whimsical and magical tale" ("Publishers Weekly")
about a girl in search of her past who discovers a secret rooftop
world in Paris.
Everyone thinks that Sophie is an orphan. True, there were no other
recorded female survivors from the shipwreck that 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 "almost
impossible" means "still possible." And you should never ignore a
possible.
So when the Welfare Agency writes to her guardian, threatening to
send Sophie to an orphanage, they takes matters into their own
hands and flee to Paris to look for Sophie's mother, starting with
the only clue they have--the address of the cello maker.
Evading the French authorities, she meets Matteo and his network of
rooftoppers--urchins who live in the hidden spaces above the city.
Together they scour the city in a search for Sophie's mother--but
can they find her before Sophie is caught and sent back to London?
Or, more importantly, before she loses hope?
Phillip Pullman, author of the His Dark Materials series, calls
"Rooftoppers ""the work of a writer with an utterly distinctive
voice and a wild imagination."
