Rendition Toward Books Rooftoppers
Everyone thinks that Sophie is an orphan. True, there were no other recorded female survivors from the shipwreck which left baby Sophie floating in the English Channel in a cello case, but Sophie remembers seeing her mother wave for help. Her guardian tells her it is almost impossible that her mother is still alive, but that means still possible. You should never ignore a possible. So when the Welfare Agency writes to her guardian threatening to send Sophie to an orphanage, she takes matters into her own hands and flees to Paris to look for her mother, starting with the only clue she has - the address of the cello maker. Evading the French authorities, she meets Matteo and his network of rooftoppers - urchins who live in the sky. Together they scour the city for Sophie's mother before she is caught and sent back to London, and most importantly before she loses hope.Rating Based On Books Rooftoppers

Loved this book. Heart eyes for Sophie and Charles and Matteo.
I feel it would take quite a bit to make me want to scramble around on Parisian rooftops. Dont get me wrong, Im not scared of heights in any way, and the views well, theyd be pretty incredible, wouldnt they?But the more you think about, the less romantic it is. I mean, theyre probably really dirty and well, if you fell youd pretty much be smushed and dont even get me started on the pigeons. I can only just deal with the pigeons when Im walking on solid ground but if Im balancing on a weathervane
In three words: charming, poetic, beautiful. "Almost impossible means still possible." This was my first book of 2016, and it was an utterly enchanting read. Charming, witty and heart-warming, this is the story of a baby who survives a shipwreck and, found floating in a cello case, is taken in by a kind gentleman named Charles. While she loves him, the girl, Sophie, still believes that her mother is alive. Some years later, after discovering inside the cello case a clue that points to Paris,
