"Oh my goodness this was such a cute little wholesome graphic novel!! I loved the illustrations and the little fruit and veggie characters. I definitely would recommend this to anyone especially families looking for something to read for the spooky season without all the spookiness but all of the fall vibes!! I wanted to read this during the month of October but didn't get to it till Nov and I'm more than okay with that. It gave me more fall/Thanksgiving vibes then Halloween vibes. It had gardening/harvesting, friends, a little bit of magic and bravery all wrapped up into one little book for a super quick read! I'm gonna go home and hug my garlic now! <br/>"

"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. "

"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."
