Review

A rare and remarkable treat, witty and full of original thoughts . This quirky book advocates curiosity, thoughtfulness, freedom and courage ― Sunday Times

A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination ― Philip Pullman

Whimsical, beautifully written and as carefully balanced as the tightrope Sophie learns to walk, Rooftoppers is a sensitive and emotionally resonant novel with an uplifting message about the power of hope ― BookTrust

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 ― Daily Mail

'A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination' - Philip Pullman'Read everything she writes' - Daily Mail

Everyone tells Sophie that she was orphaned in a shipwreck - found floating in a cello case on the English Channel on her first birthday. But Sophie is convinced her mother also survived.

凯瑟琳·朗德尔，英国儿童文学作家，从小在非洲津巴布韦长大，那片广阔、火热的土地给了她许多创作灵感。她的儿童文学处女作《野姑娘》即取材于自由自在的童年时光。《屋顶上的索菲》的写作灵感则来自于她在巴黎度过的一个夏天，以及她在夜晚去牛津学院屋顶探险的经历。这部杰作让她大放异彩，为她赢得了卡内基儿童文学奖提名奖、英国卫报儿童文学奖提名奖和水石儿童文学奖等数个重量级文学奖项。

Katherine Rundell-tightrope walker, cartwheeler, academic, and author-was born in 1987 and grew up in Africa and Europe. In 2008 she was elected a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. Her first book, The Girl Savage, was born of her love of Zimbabwe and her own childhood there. Her second, Rooftoppers (Winner of the Blue Peter Book Award, Waterstones Children's Book Prize, and shortlisted for the Guardian Children's Prize and the CILIP Carnegie Medal), was inspired by summers working in Paris and by night-time trespassing on the rooftops of All Souls. She is currently working on her doctorate alongside an adult novel. She lives in Oxford, UK.
