2021 and 2022 Editor's Picks Cover by : @Guinealove2005 Matthew, an orphaned safe-cracking wiz of a boy, is being held prisoner in an old folk's home where he is forced to counterfeit money. However, on a stormy night, Matthew is rescued by a crime-fighting troupe of child chimney sweeps and is swept away to the big city of Spring Heights to live on a half-sunken boat. In the city, Matthew is introduced to other orphaned children who live on the streets, cleans chimneys with his new family, flees for his life across rooftops, rescues other children and tries to find out the whereabouts of a mean woman connected to his incarceration at the old folk's home. He also races carts down a hill, a popular pastime of the street children of Spring Heights, where not dying or getting injured is a good outcome. ***Official Wattpad Reading Lists featured in: Superhero -- February reading list Adventure -- Middle-grade reading list Undiscovered Stories -- Thrill Seekers reading list Wattpad Urban -- Urban Fantasy reading list Children's Fiction -- Age 10 - 12 English Crime -- Kicking Ass &Taking Names Fantasy -- Middle Grade and Children's Fantasy Fantasy -- Featured Fantasy Stories Action -- Adventure in Action General Fiction -- Live Life While You Can Superhero -- No Power, No Problem
