Hate homework? Think school sucks? Well… how would you like to feed the nation, sweep chimneys and put clothes on everyone’s back? Yes, in the putrid past, being a kid was no excuse for ducking out of hard labour. Read on to meet the unlucky children who became human scarecrows, servants and factory hands – and, most miserable of all, the gloop-splattered boy who scooped people’s poo out of the sewers. It’s all here with full colour pictures and heaps of nasty bits! So if your parents are always telling you how good you have it, here’s the horrid proof!

I think its a good book because you learn about all the hard jobs children had to do.Some of the punishments in the book were a bit harsh.
