Garlic feels as though she’s always doing the wrong thing. No matter how much her friend Carrot and kindly Witch Agnes encourage her, Garlic can’t imagine wanting anything more than tending her own garden, where it’s nice and safe, and living in her small village with the rest of the vegetable people. But when the vegetable people learn that a bloodthirsty vampire has moved into the long abandoned 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?
