Four children have been chosen to compete in a national competition to find the tastiest confection in the country. Who will invent a candy more delicious than the Oozing Crunchorama or the Neon Lightning Chew?

Logan, the Candymaker's son, who can detect the color of chocolate by touch alone?

Miles, the boy who is allergic to merry-go-rounds and the color pink?

Daisy, the cheerful girl who can lift a fifty-pound lump of taffy like it's a feather?

Or Philip, the suit-and-tie wearing boy who's always scribbling in a secret notebook?

This sweet, charming, and cleverly crafted story, told from each contestant's perspective, is filled with mystery, friendship, and juicy revelations.

The Candymakers is a book about 4 contestants trying to make the worlds best candy. Each character gets to tell the story from his/her point of view. I loved the mysteries that you got to learn about and solve.

I loved this book so so so so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a great realistic fiction story. It is about four (4) kids who did the best entries for competing against kids to make a new candy. I think this book is meant for both boys and girls because it has four perspectives, three for boys ( Logan, Philip, and Miles ) and one for the girl ( Daisy ). I think the message in tis story is ''Work together ''. I hope you like it!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my favorites!!

This book is a great book for those who love fun and I recommend this to ages 8-12. Best book EVER!!!

I loved Daisy with her secret spy stuff
