Book of the week 28th April

Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell is a fabulous book which is has already won many awards. It is about an orphan caleed Sophie who is convinced that her mother did not die in a shipwreck. She travels with her guardian to Paris following a clue found in her mother's cello case. In Paris she is helped in her quest by children who live on the rooftops of the city, they cross the city on the rooftops using tightropes when necessary. This is a wonderful, quirky book. Other than Sophie, my favourite character has to be her guardian - Charles Maxim- who is very eccentric, but very wise and understanding. Read and enjoy.
