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!!!!

Good Book

Review by brobreaks

overall I though sweep was a good book. I thought it got a little confusing at times but, I liked all the characters. Definitely recommend if you like fantasy about creatures or like someone who cares for someone who's different.

Great story

Review by pinkbear19

It was a really good book about a girl and her monster friend, teaching us that monsters may be misrepresented in stories and it's a happy story about their friendship. They found each other in an unexpected situation and made friends.
