Recenzii

Whimsical, beautifully written and as carefully balanced as the tightrope Sophie learns to walk,Rooftoppersis a sensitive and emotionally resonant novel with an uplifting message about the power of hope
A rare and remarkable treat, witty and full of original thoughts . This quirky book advocates curiosity, thoughtfulness, freedom and courage
A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination
Rundell is an astonishing young talent and her books combine old-fashioned, edge-of-your-seat adventure with richly imagined characters . Read everything she writes
Katherine Rundell might be the cleverest children's writer working today ... [Rooftoppers] draws on Rundell's own experiences of scaling the dreaming spires of Oxford, and does so with whimsicality, wit and a thrilling sense of adventure
[a] children's book that wipes the floor with most adult novels
