Rooftoppers:
This book is one of my top favorites because of the magical way it transports you to Sophie’s (the main character) and Charles’ (her father) world. You journey though England and end up on the rooftops
of France on a search for Sophie’s lost and assumed dead mother. Her new, wild friends and Charles accompany her on the adventure!

Your description of Rooftoppers is fantastic, it makes me want to read it! Your painting is really cool as well.

Intriguing review. Should there be a “spoiler alert” notation regarding Sophie’s mom? Now I can’t wait to read the book to find out.

I’m so glad to see The Third Plate made your list. As you know, this book became an obsession for me. I learned so much about how saving flavor in our food can help save the earth too. Thanks for putting it out there. I hope lots more people read it.

I also loved Rooftoppers, Under the Egg, The Cursed Child (JK Rowling did it again!!!) . And, of course, The Penderwicks series is very special. Please keep posting about the books you’ve read. We are all always looking for a good read.
