Thank you to NetGalley and Pádraig Kenny for the arc of the audiobook edition of this!
Stitch is a wonderful book and was a pleasure to listen to; it's a wonderful Frankenstein-like retelling and the narrator of the audiobook did so well in bringing the characters to life and expressing the emotions they were feeling throughout the story. Stitch, the main character, and his friend Henry are characterised beautifully and seem more human than some of the real human characters despite them not being human themselves. their friendship, as well as Stitch's friendship with others, was wonderful to experience. I think this book will be able to help children to learn the importance of not judging someone just based off of what they look like, as looks can sometimes be deceiving. Professor Hardacre's character comes off as less humane than Stitch would ever think of being which I think was a great addition to teach readers that looks truly can be deceiving.
Overall, this was a lovely, heartwarming and emotional read/listen and I had a blast experiencing it!
