Product Description

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?

    When the Professor brings together dead matter to create life, Henry and Stitch are the result. The Professor is kind and wise, but he dies, leaving his nephew to take over. The new Professor Hardacre insults Henry, calling him a mishmash and a blundering mess, and offers to fix him. Henry flees, and Stitch runs away with Alice, Professor Hardacre's assistant, to find him. On their adventures, Stitch proves to the world that he is a person with a sense of right and wrong and a longing for community. He saves Henry, makes new friends, and overcomes discrimination, showing that heroes can come from the most unlikely sources.
