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.

Also,I think I would recommend this to my classmates at school...because I thought this might be ideal for 5th and 6th grade students.It has the features of a young adult book,such as suspense,secrecy,and unexpected twists.
Four kids are competing in an original candy competition. They all wanted to win and they all had different ideas. Logan who is the candymakers son has an idea that is out of this world. Miles Wanted to make a candy that is different from everyone else's. daisy wants to make a candy that involves taffy. and Philip wants to make a musical candy.
I just started reading this book yesterday. I like how in the book there is a chapter for each character. It reminds me of the book Auggie and me.
this book has 4 kids that are going to try to win there desert. the true meaning of this story is in the factory where all the candy makers worked that they should worked together.
This book can be enjoyed from different perspective's of the kids trying to win the contest and it shows that it is not just about winning but it is really about working together in this contest of deserts.
The Candymakers is a good book. I can compare in to another book I read. It is called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It is about a couple of kids with a family member that goes to Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory. Who ever is the most well behaved kid gets a special treat at the end of the tour. In this book, 4 kids have to try to invent chocolate better than anything else. I really like this book and it is so good that I recommend it.

My opinion was to 'The Candy Land' was that they only said that there was going to be a competition to find the most tastiest and sweetest lolly in the country and they introduced the characters so I disliked it because I wasn't interested in it and into it because it was just boring ........
I LOVE this book! Like it always just makes me hungry when i read it and for me, it was funny. My personal rating is a 4+ because i kind of like candy but that's not really the reason. In the beginning, the book didn't hook me up but it got exciting in the middle and end
This book reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I enjoyed this book because it kept me on the edge of my seat at different points of the book!
I thought this book was not good. It was a ripoff of Charlie and the chocolate factory. And the storyline is repeated FOUR TIMES.
