(3) 4-6 Apparent orphan Sophie, on the run with her unconventional guardian Charles, meets a band of children who live on Paris's rooftops to avoid orphanages. Though this nineteenth-century yarn has no magical elements, its whimsy, insistence that one "never ignore a possible," and even its circular spot art give it a fantastical aura. Spoiler: Sophie is less alone than she thought.
