I loved the book Sweep. If your looking for a sad book with a happy ending choose this book. I loved it. When I started reading it I COULD NOT STOP READING IT!!! Nan is in awesome character and I felt like I could really feel what she felt. I felt bad for her but also lucky to have my nice home. BEST BOOK EVER!!!

The book was very good but scary at parts. It is also very long.

Sweep is an amazing book with lots of crazy plot twists, its full of action and adventure plus it was very well written also pretty emotional. Jonathan Auxiers other books are also just as good as Sweep like: The Night Gardner, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes and Sophie Quire and The Lost Storyguard

This moving, detailed blend of historical novel and fantasy is one of the best I've ever read. It's one of those stories that shines on many levels. Through Nan's experiences, I learned a lot about the plight of children who worked as chimney sweeps in Victorian England and how their exploitation helped the movement against child labor to get started. It also had literary references to the poet William Blake (author of Songs of Innocence and Experience and a champion of exploited people like chimney sweeps and enslaved people) and Frankenstein, whose nameless monster is somewhat like a golem. I loved the character of Charlie; I've always felt sympathy for golems in their stories and the author of Sweep captured exactly why I feel this way. I won't give anything else away...I just want to say that this book is a must read if you love a complex story that will make you laugh, cry, and want to learn more.

And a good story.
