Rooftoppers is a beautiful story about a 12 year-old-girl named Sophie. She lives with Charles, who rescued her from the shipwreck which everyone tells her her mother died in, but Sophie doesn't believe them. When it looks like Sophie is going to be separated from Charles, she finds something on the inside of a cello case, the only thing she has left of her mother which leads her to Paris, France. On the run from the English authorities, Charles is close to abandoning hope in the search but an unlikely friendship between Matteo, a 14 year-old-boy, and Sophie might be exactly what would help them find Sophie's lost mother.
I loved Rooftoppers because Rundell writes in such a way that makes you want to know what happens and leaves you with a bond with the characters she creates. She tells the story so it grips the reader making the book impossible to put down. Rundell takes a position many people know well and show it from another point of view that makes you think again about the city and the people who don't live in a house.
I really recommend this book because it is just beautifully written and is an amazing book world to read about.
