Bookroo's summary

Garlic, a timid vegetable, prefers the safety of her garden. But when a vampire moves into the nearby castle, her village insists she's the one to confront him. With her friend Carrot and Witch Agnes's encouragement, Garlic musters the courage to face her fears. Can she, a simple garlic bulb, really stand against a bloodthirsty vampire? As the village's hope rests on her shoulders, Garlic embarks on a journey that will test her bravery and self-belief. Will she discover her true strength, or will her fears get the best of her? After all, garlic is supposed to repel vampires... right?

From the publisher

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…right?
