Few people are beyond redemption in Kenny’s poignant tale, and his variegated “monsters” will win the hearts of readers (and even a couple of villagers as well). . . . Adventure, heroics, and thoughtful characterization are stitched together in this charmer of a book.
—Kirkus Reviews
[An]empathetic Frankenstein retelling. . . . Lyrical writing propels a narrative that is grim in tone and optimistic in spirit. . . . Stitch is a sweet, endearing protagonist, whose friendships with well-intentioned Henry, kind Alice, and myriad other characters are nuanced and touching.
—Publishers Weekly
Kenny (The Monsters of Rookhaven, 2021) takes apart the original Frankenstein tale and sews the pieces back into an uplifting fable that’s bursting at the seams with heart and optimism. Stitch explores themes of friendship, prejudice, and morality through the eyes of a large-hearted protagonist who never fails to approach it all with empathy and kindness.
