Bree Paulsen's brave little protagonist, Garlic, is back in this
charmingly illustrated standalone companion to Garlic and the Vampire,
serving up another tale of friendship, magic, and self-discovery. Give
both books to readers who fell in love with Tidesong or Witch Boy!
Garlic loves spending time with Witch Agnes, Carrot, and her new friend,
the Count, who has proven to be a delightful neighbor to the village of
vegetable people rather than a scary vampire. But despite Agnes's best
attempts to home-brew a vegetarian blood substitute for Count, the
ingredient she needs most can only be found at the Magic Market, far
from the valley.
Before she knows it, with a broomstick in hand, Garlic is nervously
preparing for a journey.
But Garlic is experiencing another change too--finger by finger, she
appears to be turning human. Witch Agnes assures her that this is
normal for her garden magic, but Garlic isn't so sure that she's ready
for such a big change. After all, changes are scary...and what if she
doesn't want to be human after all?
