Publisher Description:

Dig into the sinister side of science and nature in Allium, a delightfully creative eco-thriller for kids. The lighthearted yet suspenseful tale tells of a curious young garlic plant named Allium, who loves making new friends-when she can stop asking questions long enough to do so.

Bet, a wise ladybug, takes the na ve clove under her wing and teaches her the ways of the garden, introducing Allium to Captain Dirt, who explains what happens deep within the soil, and to a man of straw, who knows all about the above-ground magic of photosynthesis. But her tranquil education is interrupted when the garden inhabitants hear the dreadful news that they've been targeted for total garden annihilation by none other than the Septoria sisters. This is nothing to scoff at when you're facing not just one but two deadly fungal diseases. But what can the plants possibly do to protect their home from such an attack?

As educational as it is entertaining, Allium takes kids on a thrilling adventure through nature that not only teaches them scientific processes but also illustrates important life lessons on courage and friendship.
