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�?�rig… (altro)

A very simple and cozy little story about some sentient vegetables, a witch, and a vampire. It's not a dramatic story, and lacks a bit of OOMPH, but has an encouraging messages at its heart about not being quick to judge other and working on finding ones courage. It reminds me a bit of an episode of "Over the Garden Wall" just with less pizzazz. (

Garlic and the Vampire is a short graphic novel following a cast of animated vegetables, specifically Garlic, as they help Witch Agnes garden. They discover that the castle has a new inhabitant, and Garlic is elected to face the newcomer.

It is such a cute little book! The art style is sweet, and the story is really cute. I really liked the idea it presented of not relying on stereotypes, and allowing people to show you who they are instead. It also shows readers that it is okay to do scary things, and it is okay to do them scared.

It is such a cozy read, and I 10/10 would recommend! (

Wasn't sure what to expect -- thought it might be a little scary but it turned out to be rather cute. Like how anxious Garlic overcame her fears. Witch and vampire not scary. (

Aw, this one is truly a feel-good story! I thought the worldbuilding/lore was very creative. I loved how wholesome Carrot and Garlic were, the witch that cared for them all like children, and the story of how the veggies came to be. Also, veggies selling veggies in a farmers’ market? That’s just fun and slightly dark but that gets explained. I haven’t loved veggies as characters this much since Veggietales.

I feel there are a few messages in this story don’t be afraid; courage isn't the abscence of fear, but persevering through it. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Don’t be a hypocrite, etc, but it’s all woven in seamlessly. It doesn’t come off as an afterschool special, y’know.

I would love to read more about Garlic or another book from this author.

There was barely any story. And the art wasn't as cute as I was hoping. To be fair, I'm not the target audience for this. But still, I wasn't impressed. (
