Description

An enchanting, farm-fresh debut graphic novel starring an unusual heroine who is braver than she realises, for middle grade readers looking for a cosy, adventuresome read in the vein of Witch Boy or Be Prepared.

Garlic and the Vampire features Garlic, who 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. 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?

The narrative emphasises light adventure, self-actualisation, and emotional growth, making it delightful for younger audiences who prefer heartwarming tales over spooky adventures.
