Stitch Head by Guy Bass & Pete Williamson

Deep in the maze-like dungeons of Castle Grotteskew, insane 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...?

This is one of my go to reccomendations for 7-9 year olds. It was probably the biggest success I had with a book when I still worked in school - the kids loved Stitch as much as i did! - L x
