SYNOPSIS: In this delicious middle grade companion novel to Garlic and the Vampire, Bree Paulsen sets her lovable, anxious heroine on another adventure, one that that is scary and exciting at the same time. 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? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

But while the chance to perform live for a local talent show has Charlie excited, Mia isn't so sure.

In this vibrant middle grade graphic novel debut, Ursula Murray Husted invites young readers on a grand adventure as two cats search for a place to call home-an epic ode to the powers of friendship, art, and storytelling. Cilla and Betto are two friends looking for a place to call home on the island of Malta. It hasn't been an easy journey for the kittens. The docks are too wet. The fishermen that come through scarcely leave scraps of food to keep them nourished. The streets are far too busy. And the humans, young and old, are so unreliable. But there is an old kitten tale about a quiet garden-a place where all cats are welcome, and the humans are always kind. Could the stories actually be true? Cilla, with Betto along for the ride, is determined to find out. And as they embark on this grand adventure, the hopeful cats spin a story of their own-one that will take them through the art and stories of many journeyers who came before, and that will bring them to a surprising destination.
