Five years have passed since the Sweep disappeared, leaving Nan Sparrow orphaned and alone. With no other options, she is forced to work for a ruthless chimney sweep named Wilkie Crudd, spending her days sweeping out chimneys. The job is dangerous and thankless, but Nan's wit and determination have helped her overcome the deadly odds time and time again.

One day, when Nan gets stuck in a chimney fire, she fears the end is near. To her surprise, she wakes up unharmed in an abandoned attic. And there, huddled in the corner, is a mysterious creature—a golem made from soot and ash.

Sweep is the story of Nan and her golem, two outcasts who find a new life and save each other in the process. Told lyrically by one of today's most powerful storytellers, Sweep is a heartrending adventure about the everlasting gifts of friendship and wonder.
