Evertaster Evertaster Series Adam Glendon Sidwell Books

Sometimes reading a book- a really, really awesome book- is an experience equivalent to savoring something super yummy. Well, reading Adam Glendon Sidwell's Evertaster was like snacking on the most delectable, homemade cupcakes...yeah, it's that good!

Guster Johnsonville takes being a picky eater to a whole new level. Nothing makes his taste buds dance. Fed up with his fickle ways, his mother takes him to New Orleans to find something he'll eat and they come across a dying baker who changes their lives. The baker tells them of the Gastronomy of Peace, an ancient and secret recipe that could change the world and before he can tell them the whole story they're attacked by mysterious chefs in red. Suddenly Guster, his mom, his sister and two brothers find themselves on the run from a secret society and in search of the secret ingredients for the Gastronomy of Peace. With only a strange, old egg beater as a map, the Johnsonvilles head out on the adventure of their lives that takes them across the globe.

Smart. Refreshing. Wonderfully written. Full of superb characters and exciting adventure. These are just a few ways to describe this fantastic MG book! Evertaster is bursting with flavor, fun and fabulousness.

Sidwell has created one of the most original, well-crafted and imaginative MG stories I've come across in a long time. I love the idea of being an Evertaster, someone who doesn't simply taste their food, but taste the soil it grew in, the ocean wind that blew across a lemon, the clovers the cows, whose milk you're drinking, ate, the rain that fell upon the veggies. Or as it says in the book:

Someone who tastes every flavor that ever touched every ingredient in his food. They taste time. They taste history. (Kindle, location 1450)

This book pulled me in from page one (I couldn't put it down!) and held me enchanted till the very last word. The author writes with a clever, addicting voice that will captivate readers of all ages and the settings are vivid and lush. The story is quite cinematic and I could see every detail play out in my mind and almost taste every scrumptious tidbit.

The adventure is exciting and suspenseful with a mystery that is like the Da Vinci code for kids. There are enough thrills, twists and bad guys to keep even the most discerning palates satisfied. And I love that the whole Johnsonville family takes this journey together. Not many MG books feature parental characters that are significantly involved throughout the whole plot, but in Evertaster Mrs. Johnsonville is an important (and great!) character. But that doesn't mean that the younger characters aren't courageous heroes and heroines, because they are. Guster and his siblings are charming, clever young characters that readers will easily relate to.

I love how the book concludes, but I'm ecstatic that the adventures will continue in the sequel.

MY FINAL THOUGHTS: From the spellbinding adventure, original story and engaging characters, I love everything about this dazzling and imaginative debut! This book reminds me of why I adore MG fiction (and makes me want to bake!). A MUST read book that I recommend for readers all ages!

Evertaster Evertaster Series Adam Glendon Sidwell Books Reviews

This book is kind of like a satire, but I don't know if it is meant to be, or if that's just the way that I read it. There were moments I laughed out loud (like when the older brother calls his younger brother "capital P" because he is so skinny that he looks like a capital letter P) If you think that's funny, then you will like this book.

The evil chef names were hilarious, and the whole thing kept me reading to find out what would happen next, but in the end, it's pretty silly- and that's just alright to me because sometimes you want to read something funny and not very serious.
Whether you're a young adult or grown adult, foodie or an adventurer, this book is for you! Some of the names of the characters are pretty groan-worthy. Epiglottis, Estomago, Lengua?! Those are the little thing that keeps food and liquid out of the wrong tube, stomach, and tongue! But you can overlook the corn to get to the meat!

There are plenty of Evertasters in this world, and finally, someone has written about them in a way that makes us want to not only commiserate, but cut them a little more slack. (Fun fact my daughter can taste the difference between "real cheese" and processed, even if she was in a completely different room when we cooked her meal.) What really sets this book apart is that during the adventure, Guster takes a good long look at who he is and why he "is the way he is." This book allows the reader not only to enjoy the adventure, but explore the character's needs, and invites us to take a look at ourselves too.

You simply must read The Buttersmiths' Gold (Evertaster Series) too! I read it before I read Evertaster, but you can read it after, or even at the same time, if you're that good! It is just as exciting and silly as this book, and gives you a look into the "history" surrounding one of the key ingredients in The One Recipe!

Read both books, you'll be hungry for more!
The story starts well. It's very captivating and full of imagery. The boy who starves because he can't eat ordinary food goes on a journey with his family around the world to solve the mystery. The way the author makes the chef's a secret evil society is refreshing.
I can imagine this story as a point & click adventure with the amount of silliness that these types of games require to make the journey fun and interesting - also filled with nonsensical puzzles.
Somehow the books have parts that take forever to get over and makes it harder to advance because it's so full. This also happens in the end.
Well, it's not often I find a book I don't want to put down, but Evertaster had me trying to find a break at work where I could fit in a chapter or two. The story is well paced and consistently had me wondering, "What's next?"

The story begins with a young Guster Johnsonville and his peculiar taste buds. A seemingly routine task to find Guster something to eat, that doesn't make him think his mother is trying to starve him to death, turns into a globetrotting quest to find the ultimate taste...and a recipe that some say promises to save the world. There's just one problem, Guster isn't the only one looking for this rumored ancient recipe.

Guster's adventures take him to remote islands, dense jungles, mountain peaks, and...Nevada? You'll just have to read it to find out why for yourself. He makes big friends with heart-warming brothers Storfjell and Torbjorn and their circus-like bovine farming and crosses paths with unsavories like Palatus who think Guster is wasting his talents.

Evertaster would appeal to young adults, foodies, adventure and mystery readers, and anyone who likes a good story. I'd say it's a cross of the mystery of The Da Vinci Code meets the whimsical food adventure of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Evertaster satisfied my appetite for adventure and left me craving a good dessert.
