Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell
4.25

FULL REVIEW: http://hazzachaz.wordpress.com/2013/07/14/book-blathering-rooftoppers-by-katherine-rundell/

The strength of Rooftoppers is in its characters. Sophie, Charles, and to a slightly lesser extent, Matteo, are all unique, interesting, and complex people, and the parental bond between Sophie and Charles is particularly strong.
The plot is fairly basic, but still works, although the ending is a little lacklustre. And it was refreshing to read a YA novel where romance wasn't even a factor. Still, an enjoyable read, and I look forward to checking out Rundell's debut, The Girl Savage.
