Evan Thompson loves candy more than anything else in the world—gummy worms, chocolate bars, lollipops, sour chews—you name it, he eats it! Every day after school, Evan dives into his sugary stash, ignoring his mom’s warnings and skipping fruits and vegetables like they’re the plague. But one morning, Evan wakes up with a terrible toothache. The pain is so bad, he can’t even enjoy his favorite candy!
A visit to the dentist reveals the shocking truth: Evan has a huge cavity and needs to get a tooth extracted. Ouch! Embarrassed and sore, Evan returns to school—only to be surprised by a special health class all about making smarter food choices. With the help of his teacher, some eye-opening facts, and a fun class challenge, Evan begins to understand the importance of balance, nutrition, and taking care of his body.

important life lessons in a playful way. Inspired by real-life parenting moments and a love for colorful characters, Allison creates books that both entertain and educate. When not writing, she enjoys spending time with family, going on outdoor adventures, and sneaking the occasional sweet treat (in moderation, of course!). Evan and the Trouble with Treats is Allison’s delightful reminder that even small choices—like what’s in your lunchbox—can make a big difference.
