Yatora leaves a dry life of study and good manners behind for a new

his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled
and consumed, he dives in headfirst -- and he's about to learn how
savage and unforgiving art can be!

Bree Paulsen's 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 Agnes's 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
too-finger by finger, she appears to be turning human. Witch Agnes
assures her that this is normal for her garden magic, but Garlic
isn't so sure that she's ready for such a big change. After all,
changes are scary...and what if she doesn't want to be human after
all?
