Inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein, Pádraig Kenny’s new book Stitch asks a very big question – what does it mean to be human?
‘This adventure, with danger, a chase and daring deeds, is skillfully told, convincingly evoked and structured with revelations that compel you to read on.’
– Children’s Book of the Week, The Sunday Times
With fingers and toes and ears and a nose, Stitch and his friend Henry look pretty much like normal people…except that they were actually made in Professor Hardacre’s laboratory!
Inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein, Pádraig Kenny’s new book Stitch asks a very big question – what does it mean to be human? Pupils will hear about the original story that inspired Stitch’s tale and answer the question ‘what is a monster?’. This compelling and atmospheric adventure gently explores themes of fitting in, standing out, and learning how to just be yourself.
Pádraig Kenny is a writer whose previous work includes Tin, Pog, the award-winning The Monsters of Rookhaven and The Shadows of Rookhaven.
