Description

Sweep, a historical fantasy of love and loss, tells the story of Nan Sparrow, an 11-year-old girl who has been working as a chimney sweep for five years. After a near-death experience, Nan finds herself in an abandoned attic with a mysterious creature - a golem made from soot and ash. As she navigates this new and uncertain world, Nan must confront the harsh realities of her life and learn to open herself up to love and connection.

With vivid characters and a Dickensian setting, Jonathan Auxier addresses issues like child labor and anti-Semitism in a way that is both powerful and accessible. As Nan forms a bond with the golem, she finds strength and purpose in her relationships with others. This heartrending adventure is a beautifully told tale of the enduring gifts of friendship and wonder.
