Description

Bree Paulsen's brave little protagonist, Garlic, is back in this charmingly illustrated standalone companion to Garlic and the Vampire. In this new tale, Garlic, along with friends Witch Agnes, Carrot, and the Count, faces a new challenge as they need an ingredient from the far-off Magic Market to create a vegetarian blood substitute for the Count. As they prepare for the journey, Garlic is also undergoing a transformation, turning human finger by finger. Though Witch Agnes considers this normal, Garlic is apprehensive about such a big change and isn't sure she wants to be human. This enchanting story beautifully explores themes of friendship, magic, and self-discovery.
