Although this is book is probably aimed at more confident readers, much joy could be gained from reading this with younger children. The story has a moral tale, never brash and overdone, just enough to make people think, make you ponder. The best bedtime stories have these moments, the never-ending sleepy questions, just before eyes close, where you talk about the world. Why some people are mean, why is life unfair? How some people can have nothing, yet still have hearts large enough to love a whole city.
Sweep: the Story of a Girl and her Monster is likely to become a modern classic, written with the feel of such classics, as ''Black Beauty,'' ''Oliver Twist,'' and ''The Water Babies''. For a similar, feisty heroine, readers may like [[The Luck Uglies by Paul Durham]]. You might also enjoy [[Tiger Heart by Penny Chrimes]].
