Hello friends, Sharla here! :) As you know, I am absolutely OBSESSED with reading. Well, it turns out my 11 year old son is following in my footsteps. He loves to read as well. So when I heard about Evertaster I had to try it out for me and for him! He happens to be the same age as the hero in Evertaster, and he is just as picky an eater!
