A compelling, atmospheric and gothic Frankenstein-inspired adventure by an award-winning Irish author. 'A thrilling gothic adventure, brimming with heart and bursting with big questions. I loved it.' Lucy Strange Stitch is not a monster - he's a creation. He and his friend Henry Oaf were brought to life by the genius Professor Hardacre, and have spent all their days in a castle deep in the woods, far from humankind. But when the Professor dies and his pompous nephew comes to take over the laboratory, they soon find out that his sights are set not on scientific discovery, but personal glory. And Henry is his next experiment. Can Stitch and Henry escape his clutches and make their way in a world they were never built for - and may never be ready for them? A magnificent gothic adventure full of heart for age 8+
