Imagine your very life depended on a man who would rather kill you than admit how many tiny voices had been drowned out by flames; how many desperate eyes glowed, surrounded by wildfire. Imagine fear that your next breath may be smothered by ash and soot, and your next, and your next, until you cannot hold it anymore. Imagine pulling yourself through bricks, dragging your heavy body up toward the light far above, hoping you'll make it to the top. Imagine the walls, curling in on you, and then a sudden burst of flame rising higher and higher, burning you alive. That's Nan's life. She has nowhere to run. Until she is the one caught in the fire. I love this book. It's about death. Love. Pain. Sacrifice. It moved me. Somedays it feels impossible to cry. But on the day I read this book, crying seemed like all I could manage to do. If you like woman warriors, light hidden in the dark, and small mysteries, all I can ask you to do is to read this book.

Best Book PJ Our Way has to offer! If you have not read this book, you definitely should. This book taught me that I really have a great life and I should be thankful because some kids don't even have their parents with them and are are treated very badly. Definitely a great read!

this is a wonderful book that i recommend to all ages! i'll admit i wasn't excited but i was so wrong! i guarantee you will come to love it!!!

An awesome fantasy book. Please read.

This book is so sad! But I still love it. I cried at the end. This book is about the hardships chimney sweeps had to face, but also about the magic we find every day. For Nan, it was Charlie. If I could, I would give this book 1000000000000000000000 stars. It’s that good. Warning: this book is SAD!
