"It is a story that dares to ask the question: When the moon is up and the night creatures begin to stir, who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of lettuce?"

I think that quote from the third book sums up the series quite well. Loads of fun and mystery these books are great even for older readers. What more could you want? There's a cute little bunny that sucks the juices out of vegetables, a daschund pup who might just be part werewolf (well, if you believe Chester anyway) and all kinds of other surprises along the way. Makes you want to walk around with toothpicks in your pocket to stake those evil cabbages and cucumbers before they get you first.



September 2025

More than twenty years later, I still have a fond spot for this series, so when I discovered there was a a graphic novel I did a quick search on Goodreads only to find there were two more books in the series I didn't know about as well as some early reader versions. Couldn't resist popping over to the library to see if I could find copies!

I particularly enjoyed the Christmas one, I loved the artwork in the edition I read and it was just so cute.
