Commemorating a decade of soaring success, this special edition of Katherine Rundell's multi-award-winning modern classic takes flight once more. Adorned with a celebratory cover roundel and an exclusive letter from the author, this limited release marks ten years since 'Rooftoppers' first captivated readers with its tale of wild hope and daring escapades atop Parisian rooftops.

Sophie, a girl found floating in a cello case on her first birthday, clings to the belief that her mother survived the shipwreck that allegedly orphaned her. When faced with the threat of separation from her guardian and consignment to an orphanage, Sophie embarks on a perilous journey. Armed with only the address of a Parisian cello-maker, she flees to the City of Light.

In her quest, Sophie encounters Matteo and his band of rooftoppers—young vagabonds who navigate the city's skyline with acrobatic finesse. As the authorities close in, Sophie and her newfound allies race across the Parisian roofscape in a heart-pounding search for her mother. Will they uncover the truth before time runs out?

Rundell's masterpiece, hailed by literary luminaries such as Philip Pullman and Jacqueline Wilson, continues to enthral readers young and old. This gripping adventure reminds us to chase our dreams and never disregard a possibility, no matter how improbable it may seem.

With its triumphant blend of hope, inspiration, and thrilling escapades, 'Rooftoppers' has rightfully earned its place as a contemporary classic, garnering prestigious accolades including the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
