Sweep消失五年了。成为孤儿又孤独的Nan Sparrow别无选择，只能为一个叫Wilkie Crudd的无情的烟囱清扫者做事。她每天都在扫烟囱。这份工作既危险又吃力不讨好，但凭借着自己的智慧和意志，Nan一次又一次地成功躲过了致命的危险。

当Nan被困在一场烟囱火灾中时，她觉得自己快要死了。然而相反的是，她醒来时发现自己安然无恙地躺在一个废弃的阁楼里。而且她不是一个人。蜷缩在角落里的是一种神秘生物——一个由煤灰和灰烬构成的傀儡假人。

Sweep讲述了一个女孩和她的怪物的故事。这两个被社会抛弃的人靠自己的努力开创了新的生活——在这个过程中互相拯救。

It's been five years since the Sweep disappeared. Orphaned and alone, Nan Sparrow had no other choice but to work for a ruthless chimney sweep named Wilkie Crudd. She spends her days sweeping out chimneys. The job is dangerous and thankless, but with her wits and will, Nan has managed to beat the deadly odds time and time again.

When Nan gets stuck in a chimney fire, she fears the end has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself unharmed in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature―a golem―made from soot and ash.

Sweep is the story of a girl and her monster. Together, these two outcasts carve out a new life―saving each other in the process. Lyrically told by one of today's most powerful storytellers, Sweep is a heartrending adventure about the everlasting gifts of friendship and wonder.
