The first book in the best-selling, laugh-out-loud STITCH HEAD series by award-winning author Guy Bass, with illustrations by Pete Williamson, now brought to almost-life again in this brand-new, monstrously magnificent graphic novel edition.

Enter the darkly funny world of Stitch Head, as he steps out of the shadows into the adventure of an almost-lifetime.

Deep in the maze-like dungeons of Castle Grotteskew, eccentric Professor Erasmus created Stitch Head, a small, almost-human creature. His experiments continued, filling the castle with creations so fabulously monstrous that Stitch Head was long forgotten. Until a travelling circus ringmaster knocks at the castle door, promising to make Stitch Head a star. Is this Stitch Head’s chance to venture beyond the castle walls? Or could he be making a terrible mistake.?

Full of monstrous fun,?STITCH HEAD?is perfect for fans of GRIMWOOD, AMELIA FANG and THE NOTHING TO SEE HERE HOTEL.

"This graphic novel edition of the first story in the much-loved series is terrific. Pete Williamson, the original illustrator, has brilliantly depicted these characters once more, in a muted palette that is vibrantly lit, and drenched in atmosphere. There are many illustrative details to pore over, and it is packed with action. There are emotional moments too, and the story subtly asks the reader to consider who the real monsters are - the humans or the creatures. The font is in upper and lower case, making it easier to read than all capitals, which will appeal to all readers, and the story is divided into four parts. Darkly funny, accessible and thought-provoking."
