Garlic and the Vampire
Synopsis
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, she's 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.
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?
This farm-fresh graphic novel debut introduces an unusual heroine who is braver than she realizes, opening Bree Paulsen's cozy, adventuresome Garlic series for middle-grade readers.
