About this deal

I don’t really have that much to say about this book because I just really enjoyed it and it’s pretty much as simple as that. Readers who enjoyed the Lemony Snicket books, Ellen Potter's The Kneebone Boy, Cornelia Funke's The Thief Lord, and Sally Gardner's I, Coriander will want to put Rooftoppers on their "Must Read" list.

Sophie's breathtaking experiences will make you laugh and make you cry and you will find yourself stood next to Sophie as she goes through the best and worst experiences! Give those things a narrow, aristocratic face with hooked eyebrows, and long arms and legs, and that is what the baby saw as she was lifted out of her cello case and up into safety.Your KS2 class will work on identifying speech in dialogue between Matteo, Anastasia and Sophie within chapter 27 of the Rooftoppers book.

Evading the French authorities, she meets Matteo and his network of rooftoppers – urchins who live in the sky. Neparasti labestīgi, gaiši un brīvību mīloši tēli, kuri vistiešākajā izpausmē dzīvo pēc saviem likumiem/nosacījumiem.The life of the eponymous "rooptoppers" is grimy; it involves hunger, injury and internecine warfare. Everyone tells Sophie that she was orphaned in a shipwreck – found floating in a cello case on the English Channel on her first birthday. The first in a trilogy, the book is surely the next classic – and most importantly for any reasonable 10-year-old, it is a terrific story.

Home to William Golding, Sylvia Plath, Kazuo Ishiguro, Sally Rooney, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Max Porter, Ingrid Persaud, Anna Burns and Rachel Cusk, among many others, Faber is proud to publish some of the greatest novelists from the early twentieth century to today. Mustang Wanted, real name Pavlo Ushivets, a Ukrainian rooftopper who has performed climbs and stunts around the world. It is forbidden to copy anything for publication elsewhere without written permission from the copyright holder. I wouldn’t put this at the top of the list as far as books I recommend, but I definitely think it’s worth reading.

Whimsical, beautifully-written and as carefully balanced as the tightrope Sophie learns to walk, Rooftoppers is a sensitive and emotionally-resonant novel with an uplifting message about the power of hope.
