Description: Although her dad says they are good for her, a young girl knows bettershe is sure the vegetables in the fridge are out to get her, with broccoli being the biggest and baddest of all.

Review Quotes: This delightful story immerses readers in the cloak-and-dagger world inside a refrigerator. . . . The vividly colored, hand-drawn illustrations delightfully pull readers deeper into the story, making it wholly enjoyable. This enthralling story will captivate and open readers' minds to trying new vegetables.
--School Library Journal (starred review)

Allen's bold and kinetic digital art in fierce colors perfectly suited to adversarial produce with menacing expressions. . . .A funny finicky-eater fantasy.
--Kirkus Reviews

Short sentences featuring loads of alliteration make this a great read-aloud for kids looking for a funny food fight.
