This title is inspired by the true story of George Brewster, the last child chimney sweep. Brewster has been sold to a cruel Master Sweep to risk his life up the narrow jungle of chimneys to reach the sky. But Brewster has a secret - he's a wizard with numbers and he's predicted a terrifying storm of stars. Upon each star he'll cast his passionate wish to be the last climbing boy ever. When a powerful woman offers to make his wish come true, Brewster is challenged to do something impossible in return. A wish for a wish!
