![]() A good book is a good book, I don't believe certain sections of the bookstore 'expire' once we hit a certain age. I've never stopped enjoying reading excellent children's literature. You can decide if it is something you want to share with your own kids by reading their review here. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived-and a girl. The work was hard, thankless and brutally dangerous. I thought this middle grade novel would be an excellent choice to share with your own kids and spark fresh discussions around the family dinner table.Ĭommon Sense Media says that this book pick is perfect for kids age 9 and up. For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on 'climbing boys'-orphans owned by chimney sweeps-to clean flues and protect homes from fire. This year, I decided to go a slightly different route and chose Sweep by Jonathan Auxier because it came so highly recommended in several homeschool groups I belong to. Some years, I pick a young adult book like Tell Me Three Things so we have a good reminder of what our kids are going through in high school. Sweep is set in Victorian London in the late 1800s, a period characterized by a gaping chasm between the haves and have-nots. Sweep by Jonathan Auxier is the official August 2022 pick for the Peanut Blossom Book Club for Recovering Readers.Įvery August I try to choose a book club book that takes place in a school setting as we enter Back to School season. ![]()
