Description
Sophie remembers seeing her mother wave for help as she floated in the English Channel in a cello case. Though everyone thinks she's an orphan, Sophie holds onto the hope that her mother might still be alive. When the Welfare Agency threatens to send her to an orphanage, Sophie takes matters into her own hands and flees to Paris. In the city of lights, Sophie discovers a secret rooftop world where a group of urchins known as rooftoppers live in hidden spaces above the streets. Together, they scour the city for clues about Sophie's mother, evading authorities along the way. As they search, Sophie must confront her own doubts and fears, and decide whether to hold onto hope or let it slip away. With its vivid portrayal of Parisian life and a heroine with an indomitable spirit, Rooftoppers is a heartwarming tale of one girl's journey to find her place in the world.
