Bree Paulsens brave little protagonist, Garlic, is back in this charmingly illustrated standalone companion to Garlic and the Vampire, serving up another tale of friendship, magic, and self-discovery. Give both books to readers who fell in love with Tidesong or Witch Boy!
Garlic loves spending time with Witch Agnes, Carrot, and her new friend, the Count, who has proven to be a delightful neighbor to the village of vegetable people rather than a scary vampire. But despite Agness best attempts to home-brew a vegetarian blood substitute for Count, the ingredient she needs most can only be found at the Magic Market, far from the valley.
Before she knows it, with a broomstick in hand, Garlic is nervously preparing for a journey.
But Garlic is experiencing another change toofinger by finger, she appears to be turning human. Witch Agnes assures her that this is normal for her garden magic, but Garlic isnt so sure that shes ready for such a big change. After all, changes are scary...and what if she doesnt want to be human after all
"The cheerful art, rendered in an autumnal palette, and relatable characters remain the series' main draw. Earnest and thoughtful." -- Kirkus Reviews
Bree Paulsen is a native of Southern California in love with all things autumnal. After graduating from the Laguna College of Art and Design with a BFA in Animation, she freelanced on a few independent animation and illustration projects before tuning her focus toward comics. She started her webcomic Patrik the Vampire in 2013 and self-publishes its printed volumes. Garlic and the Vampire is her first traditionally published book.
