Garlic is a clove of garlic that has been animated by a witch to tend her garden and sell vegetables at the witch's market - along with other animated vegetables - Carrot, Celery, Potato etc. One day the vegetables notice smoke coming from the old castle on the other side of the woods. The Vampire has returned! Celery nominates Garlic to go to the castle and defeat the Vampire. She's the sensible choice - after all, she's, well, Garlic!
Bree Paulsen's illustrations are magnificent! Detailed, gorgeous, and exactly perfect for the story - I felt like I was inside a fairy tale - with walking, talking vegetables, and the nicest witch. The story was exciting and funny and had a great message about being brave and having faith in yourself. So glad to see there's a sequel!
