This is a weekly meme started by @marysimms72 on the brilliant Book Craic blog.
To take part, the steps to follow are:
- Post a picture of a front cover of a middle-grade book which you have read and would recommend to others with details of the author, illustrator and publisher.
- Open the book to page 11 and share your favourite sentence.
- Write three words to describe the book
- Either share why you would recomment this book, or link to your review.

Author: Katherine Rundell
Illustrator: Cover art based on design by Antigone-konstantinidou.com
Publisher: Faber and Faber
Favourite sentence from Page 11: This is part of a description of Charles Maxim: “But he had kindness where other people had lungs, and politeness in his fingertips.”
This book in three words: Kindness – Paris – Adventure
Again this week I am using this feature to revisit a book published a few years ago (in 2013) which I absolutely love and consider to be a modern-day classic! My original review of Rooftoppers written last year can be read here.
I’ve read The Explorer and The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell. Our Year 5s use Rooftoppers for a study unit. I’ll definitely add to my TBR.
