When authorities threaten to take Sophie, twelve, from Charles who has been her guardian since she was one and both survived a shipwreck, the pair goes to Paris to try to find Sophie's mother, and they are aided by Matteo and his band of "rooftoppers."
Sophie may have survived a shipwreck as a baby, but her life began when an eccentric but loving bachelor brought her home. When a child services organization threatens to remove Sophie, she and Charles flee to Paris in search of her long-lost mother.

Charles saves baby Sophie after a shipwreck and adopts her. But as Sophie grows older, she is more and more sure that her mother was not killed in the wreck. Finally, Charles and Sophie travel to Paris, led there by a clue left in the cello case in which Sophie was found after the wreck. There Sophie meets Matteo, a rooftopper, and he helps Sophie in her search for her mother.
Rooftoppers is surprising, clever, and fun. I like books that are surprising, clever, and fun. You probably will, too.
