Orphaned and alone, 11-year-old Nan Sparrow had no other choice but to work for a ruthless chimney sweep named Wilkie Crudd. She spends her days sweeping out chimneys. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The job is dangerous and thankless, but with her wits and will, Nan has managed to beat the deadly odds time and time again. When Nan gets stuck in a chimney fire, she fears the end has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself unharmed in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature--a golem--made from soot and ash. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With vivid characters--tough, whip-smart Nan; lovable, childlike Charlie; their engaging companions; even the marvelously Dickensian villains--bestselling author Jonathan Auxier addresses issues like Dickensian child labor and anti-Semitism, but never becomes preachy or overbearing. As Nan painfully, tentatively, haltingly permits love to make her vulnerable, she also gains strength and purpose. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSweep\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a girl and her monster.
