  Trapped within the oppresive warrens of the city’s chimneys, young sweeper Tom longs for fresh air and freedom in this atmospheric and ghostly Victorian tale from Lucy Strange. 
  Young chimney sweep Tom has started seeing strange, supernatural things – fairies in the flowers by the river, a soot monster crouching in the darkness of a chimney, and then the mysterious river spirit Elle. Elle joins Tom and the other children apprenticed to cruel master sweep Mister Crow. Together, they shimmy up the town's narrow, filthy chimneys. But Tom has an ominous feeling in his bones, and when he faces his most dangerous job of all, the reason for Elle's magical appearance becomes clear . . . 
  In this riveting children's fantasy, Tom's encounters with the paranormal are not just figments of his imagination, but a call to action against the social themes of poverty and homelessness that plague his world. The prize-winning story, aimed at young adults and reluctant readers, is a testament to the power of friendship and courage in the face of adversity. 
  For fans of Kirsty Applebaum (Princess Minna), Christopher Edge (Fear Files), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Kiran Millwood Hargrave (Leila and the Blue Fox), and Keith Robinson (Wolf Road).

  He That Hath Wings - When...

  Edmond Hamilton

  He That Hath Wings begins with a newborn doctors believe is terribly deformed. But the strange projections on David Rand’s back are not deformities at all. They are wings. His bones are unusually light, his body is built differently, and before long the impossible becomes undeniable: David was born to fly. 
  Raised on an isolated island, David grows up far from the crowds that once made him a worldwide sensation. At ten, an accidental fall sends him into the air—and everything changes. Flying becomes as natural as walking, and the open sky offers something ordinary human life never can. But David cannot remain hidden forever. Beyond the island are cities, other people, and eventually a young woman who gives him a reason to wonder whether life on the ground might be enough. 
  Edmond Hamilton was one of science fiction’s most prolific early writers. His first published story, “The Monster-God of Mamurth,” appeared in Weird Tales in 1926. He became especially famous for enormous interstellar adventures and later created Captain Future, whose exploits became a fixture of 1940s science fiction. 
  Hamilton could also tell quieter, deeply personal stories. He That Hath Wings trades galactic spectacle for one extraordinary young man and the people who want him to live like everyone else. Hamilton makes the exhilaration of flight almost tangible, while steadily tightening the conflict between the life David has been given and the life others expect him to choose.
