Amazing, magical book!

Review by Sheina Brocha

Sweep is about an orphan girl who is treated really badly. It is set in London where she is a chimney sweep. It's a really dangerous job. This is a story about her survival - and it includes some magic. It's a dramatic, sad and hopeful story. I really recommend it. It gave me insight how life used to be for poor children. FIVE STARS!!!!

A beautiful, brave, book. I love this book so much. So fulfilling. Even if you don't like fantasy and historical fiction, you will adore this book nonetheless.
