What if one squirt of mustard could change everything?
Max never imagined his lunch would launch him into an entirely new world-but that's exactly what happens when he discovers a glowing bottle of clear mustard in his pantry. Suddenly, he's in Tasteworld, where talking pickles, sour lemons, and sparkling breadsticks are losing their flavor, fast. Something-or someone-is draining the magic from this once-delicious land.
With his new food friends-Dill the Pickle, Gracie the Breadstick, and a suspiciously grumpy lemon named SourPuss-Max must journey across candy peaks, salty deserts, and crunchy forests to find out what's really going on. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes: the mustard isn't the problem... it's the solution.
The Day Mustard Changed Everything kicks off the Tasteworld Adventures series, a bold, hilarious, and heartwarming chapter book series for kids ages 8-12 who love big laughs, wild twists, and underdog heroes. Written for fans of Dog Man, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, and even early Harry Potter, this book blends laugh-out-loud moments with real lessons about friendship, bravery, and being proud of who you are.
