Rooftoppers

A slow burner but I liked the sense of adventure and spirit of the lead character.

The book was so intriguing it's a story of curiosity excitement bravery and adventure it's the type of book you can't put down with new and interesting words on each page

Great book, obvi! I mean, it's written by Katherine Rundell!

I enjoyed this book because it kept me interested for months and I wanted to read more every time I finished each chapter. One of my favourite characters is Sophie because she is very creative and independent.

i hated it. i would not reccomend this book to anyone. i would rate this 0 out of 5 if i could

I liked the story and how she is happy with her step dad

I liked she was rescued in a cello case and went to find her mum.
It was fiction but could easily be a true story

A really interesting book with loads of movement!

You just wont believe it fellas , Katherine Rundell is just tooooooo excellent AUTHOR!
When you read it it is filled with LOVE and Emotion and Heart Filling Story!!!!!!! U MUST READ IT!

Great ending but took a little too long to get there.

Great

Rooftoppers is a quirky, exciting story with sophisticated vocab and imagery.
Cynics might say the plot is unrelatable, but it throws up so many issues for discussion that it's worth it. For example gangs/playground fights, what does it mean to follow your intuition, is anything possible, what kind of adults does a child need to be happy and safe, should girls be modest, are you brave? And so much more...

Great ending but it took too long to reach the exciting part of the Paris set story.

I would recommend this book to 9 and 10 year old. I enjoyed the way the book is written and the friendships in the book.

Overall it was a very good book but I got a bit confused at the end. I hope there will a second one to clear that up. I enjoyed the adventure/mystery aspect of it. I enjoyed it so much that I dressed up as Sophie for world book day. Thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to adventure lovers.

I loved this, though the descriptions of running across heights in the dark gave me sweaty palms!

I liked how Matteo teaches Sophie how to go onto the rooftop.

There are some lovely characters and this is well written but I was a little unsatisfied with the ending! Maybe there will be a sequel one day!

I loved this book so I recommend it to everyone especially people who love crazy adventures. The way Katherine Rundell writes her books makes it feel so real and I found it hard to put down. Mainly, I loved the idea of kids secretly living on rooftops by themselves and it makes you think that anything is possible and you shouldn't ever ignore a possible!

A baby girl was found by Charles Maxim, who saved her at sea. There was a ship that sank, and Charles found a baby and rescued her. He named her Sophie and kept her being her guardian. A welfare agent called Miss Eliot has been telling Charles that he was not looking after her as he should have been. Sophie was eager to find her mum. Since the shipwreck, she has lost her mum and now has to find her. Charles and Sophie moved to France to prevent Sophie from being taken to an orphanage. Since they moved, Sophie felt familiar with this place. She visited a shop where they sell cellos -- Sophie had a memory of her mum playing the cello. She and Charles tried to go to the police to see if they had any folders of the musicians from the ship. Nothing worked, but Sophie didn't stop trying to find her mother. Every night, Sophie went up onto the roof. Once she saw a boy jumping from roof to roof, and met him the next day. His name was Matteo. Each day she learnt something new about him. She saved some food every dinner time for him to eat. Once she told him about her missing mother, he said he could help. She told him everything she knew about her -- even her name, Vivienne Vert. Matteo got some friends to help with this mission. Sophie found out that their names were Anastasia, Safi and Gerard. In the night, they all gathered at the police station. They hung down the roof till they saw the folder room. Sophie and Matteo looked in each folder until they found the right one. But it was a man. There weren't any women musicians. Suddenly Sophie recognised some parts: they looked a bit like her, and the clothes were different. Underneath the picture, it said that they survived. Out of nowhere, Sophie heard music. She ran out of the building and followed the sound of music. Right in front of her, she saw her mother! This was all Sophie dreamed of.

I absolutely loved the 1st half of this book. The 2nd half is good too, but it’s definitely a book of 2 halves.
The descriptions are v funny.

It was a great book but I felt it needed to speed up a bit

A thoroughly enjoyable read! I loved the relationship between Sophie and Charles, their trust in each other and their uncomplicated way of living together in a house (I thought back at Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking and her horse in the farmhouse). And then Sophie and Charles embark on this huge adventure to try and find Sophie's mother...what a beautifully told story! The vocabulary in this book is accessible and I think children y4 upwards would enjoy this.

This was a very good book

This book was a fiction book and it’s comes with lots of gross pets but they are a bit funny. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as it kept you entertained. I would certainly recommend it for someone else to read it.

It’s a really good book

It’s really thrilling and good. I couldn’t put the book down. Not much books impress me, so when I say that this book is good, then it’s good.

Love the book but for me the ending was confusing and I couldn't understand it .

My favroite part was when they relised the blackmailing.

I thought it was marvellous I loved all the twists turns and adventure the best thing was when they went to the music shop . My favourite person was Matteo . A true great tale

It’s about this girl, called Sophie. She was on the Queen Mary as a baby, and when the boat was sinking she was rescued by someone called Charles. They had a life together and he was like a father, but Sophie still hoped her mum was alive. This lady didn’t want that to happen, and didn’t think she was living a good life, so she questioned them about some stuff, but they didn’t pass the “test” - Sophie got her cello and they went to France. The story ahead is a story about a brave little girl.
