Description

Dark Against the Sky is the story of a band of climbing boys (young chimney sweeps) in London in 1834. The arc of their adventures follows the main character, Tommy, as he struggles to fi nd and be re-united with his father, faces the daily challenges of life as a climbing boy ruled by callous master sweeps, and interacts enjoyably with friends and street folk. Though his story is often darkened by his work and the period, it is brightened and ultimately redeemed by his growth in his journey and the humanity he shares with his "band of brothers."

Author Biography:

Steve Hauge became interested in climbing boys in a history course at Williams College. His concern led to this deeply researched story, which provides a window into the lives of these lads amid the street life of London. Mr. Hauge is also the author of a CD-ROM on Robert Louis Stevenson and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A teacher for 12 years, he lives in New Jersey. Cathleen Daniels has been illustrating since 1990. While her illustrations are mostly digital, she also works in watercolor, mixed media and acrylic. Her clients include Simon & Schuster, Barnes & Noble, PlayStation, Sega Genesis, Marvel Comics and DC Comics.
