MY REVIEW
This new paperback, Stitch, is an electrifying new gothic adventure for children, that’s about finding your place in the world. I bow to the author Padraig, forgiving me such a wonderful pleasure in reading one the best stories I want to shout loudly about.
I absolutely loved reading the paperback Stitch, as it has the flare of a modern day Frankenstein. Stitch and Henry were like monsters made a professor Hardacore. Henry Oaf, is locked in a cage, all because he is clumsy and breaks things. Stitch can’t read. But when professor’s wicked nephew arrives he takes over doing more experiments, since professor Hardacore has died. With my hand on my heart this is one hundred percent a must read must buy gothic adventure. Thank you so much walker Books for sending me this excellent page-turning paperback.
