An enchanting, farm-fresh debut graphic novel starring an unusual
heroine who is braver than she realizes, for middle grade readers
looking for a cozy, adventuresome read in the vein of Witch Boy or Be
Prepared.
Garlic feels as though she's always doing something wrong. At least with
her friend Carrot by her side and the kindly Witch Agnes encouraging
her, Garlic is happy to just tend her garden, where it's nice and safe.
But when her village of vegetable folk learns that a bloodthirsty
vampire has moved into the nearby castle, they all agree that, in spite
of her fear and self-doubt, Garlic is the obvious choice to confront
him. And with everyone counting on her, Garlic reluctantly agrees to
face the mysterious vampire, hoping she has what it takes.
After all, garlic drives away vampires...right?
