Ajo y el Vampiro (Garlic and the Vampire)

 Ajo y el Vampiro por Bree Paulsen, 151 pgs. 

Ajo estaba contenta (mas o menos) con su vida, cultivando con sus amigos vegetales bajo el cuidado de Bruja Agnes, pero todo cambio cuando los vegetales se dieron cuenta del humo saliendo del castillo cerca de su pueblo. Los vegetales todos, especialmente Ajo, se ponian asustados que habria un vampiro viviendo en el castillo. Ajo tiene mucha ansiedad en un dia normal, y este no era un dia normal. Los vegetales nominaron a Ajo para confrontar al vampiro, y ella debe decidir si quiere seguir viviendo con miedo o finalmente quiere enfrentar sus ansiedades.
Garlic was more or less content with her life, gardening with her vegetable friends under the care of Witch Agnes, but everything changed when the vegetables noticed smoke coming from the castle near their town. All the vegetables, especially Garlic, were scared that there could be a vampire living in the castle. Garlic is very anxious on a normal day, and this was no normal day. The vegetables nominated Garlic to confront the vampire, and she must decide if she wants to continue living in fear or finally face her anxieties. 

I read this short, cute graphic novel in Spanish, so I attempted to describe it in Spanish as well. Please let me know of any grammatical or translation errors I made (of which I am sure there are many). I am trying to learn, and any corrections or suggestions help!
In regards to the story, though, it is so cute! The drawings are really well done, and the colors of all the vegetable friends work together really well. If you are looking for a fun story to practice your Spanish and read about vegetables facing their fears and loving their friends, this is the book for you :)
