Twelve-year-old Brecken always thought he was just a "super picky eater"—the kind of kid who avoids weird textures, funky smells, and anything that looks even slightly suspicious. After a disastrous week at scout camp, where every meal felt like a survival challenge, his mom discovers something called ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). Suddenly, Brecken's struggles with food make sense in a way they never did before. Armed with a diagnosis and plenty of awkward moments, Brecken begins navigating what it's like to live with food fears in a world obsessed with eating. From scout camps and school lunch tables to birthday parties and family dinners, Brecken learns how to stand up to judgment, advocate for himself, and figure out his own version of "normal." With humor, heart, and plenty of relatable moments, Brecken's journey proves that being different doesn't mean you're broken—and sometimes, it's your quirks that make you stronger. The story told in Brecken's Big Bite: Overcoming ARFID One Adventure at a Time is inspired by the real-life experiences of a mother and her son. Like in Brecken's actual day-to-day life, the main character faces incredible challenges with food, yet through perseverance and resilience, he grows into a more confident version of himself.
