"Has the same vibes as over the garden wall! I’ve been looking all over for books and podcasts and tv shows that capture a similar autumnal feel as that masterpiece! It tells a very compelling story about overcoming anxiety. "

"Cute and cozy read"

"Although not at all the main plot of the book. I would read 100 more of these just to witness the relationship between garlic and carrot. It is so wholesome. It makes my heart and soul happy. This book was written well."
