Rooftoppers : 10th Anniversary Edition

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.
