Bookroo's summary
Sophie, believed to be an orphan, defies the odds to find her mother, whom she remembers from a shipwreck. With her guardian Charles, she flees to Paris, pursued by authorities. There, she meets Matteo and his band of rooftoppers, who help her navigate the city's hidden heights. As they search for clues, Sophie must find her mother before hope fades and she's sent back to London. Will the rooftops of Paris reveal the truth, or will Sophie remain lost in the shadows of her past?
From the publisher
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.”
