Very good! submitted by 21621032124198 on September 7, 2021, 9:19pm I learned about chimney sweeps, child labor, and golems in fantastical old England.

Great story! submitted by leea on July 13, 2022, 9:46am I learn life in the Victorian Age, child labor, homelessness/street kids, inequality of the classes through this book, Although times may change but they still exist in our present day. Johnathon Auxier's usage of Bird themes and imagery (to represent hope, seasons and cycles of life) is well thought out and executed. Great story!
