4.5 So sweet. Stich Head is the first creation made in this castle, but his master doesn't remember him. he keeps making these terrifying (cute) monsters, and Stich Head cures them of their monstrosities just to save his master and the castle, because if a mob comes to take them down, all will end. He is sad that his master doesn't remember him, but new friends and new arrival carnival dangers will help things go better. This is a series, and the first episode ends with a lot to do next. Awesome. I love Scrap and other stories from this author. My favorite things about this author's style are the adventures, the characters, and the humor.
