What's Stitch About

Publisher Summary

An atmospheric retelling of Frankenstein, full of adventure and as thrilling as a lightning strike. Stitch and his friend Henry Oaf were brought to life by the genius Professor Hardacre. But when his wicked nephew takes over the laboratory, they soon discover that the new professor’s sights are set on Henry as his next experiment. Can Stitch and Henry escape his clutches and make their way in a world they were never built for–and that may only ever see them as monsters? Literary yet accessible, warmhearted yet chillingly gothic, this beautiful novel, described by the London Times as “exceptional,” explores themes of life and death, friendship and acceptance, all through a page-turning adventure about what it means to be human.
