Goodreads

Garlic and the Witch is the second installment in the Garlic and the Vampire series. Young readers will continue to be blown away by the breathtaking illustrations that Bree Paulsen has created, and will enjoy being reunited with characters from the first book. In this book Garlic goes through character growth which makes them more relatable. Readers also get an explanation of Agnus’s powers, which was an unexplained phenomena from book one. This book is heavier on illustration than text and much of the text consists of onomatopoetic text rather than dialogue or exposition. Garlic and the Witch is perfect for readers ages 8 through 12.
