"What an adorable and charming little book. Definitely a feel good read and an escape from the world. "

"Oops I accidentally read this book first instead of "Garlic and the Vampire", so now I know what happens in book 1"

"4.5/5 ⭐<br/><br/>Love it!! I loved the first one just a smidge more but this one still has all of the heartwarming vibes to it. I definitely recommend it for middle grade readers, families, or literally anyone who wants a feel good story. <br/><br/>This one yet again shows Garlic being brave through the scariest of changes and large adventure outside her home.<br/><br/>I really needed this story back when I was crying on my bedroom floor because I was scared to step into the world of college not knowing anyone and being in new surroundings. But this book shows that you're not alone when facing a big change. Luckily my big sister comforted me at that time but this book would have reassured me as well. I'm gonna go home and hug my veggies now!!"

"The art is perfect.It’s a fabulous little story that just sucks me right in. But the biggest thing for me is how wonderful carrot and garlics relationship is. Wholesome and kind and loving I love if. Though I feel like this is the end I kinda hope there is one more."
