ALA Schneider Family Book Award-winning author Wendy Mass offers this tasty treat of a tale sure to appeal to any listener’s sweet tooth. The Candymakers follows 12-year-olds Logan, Philip, Daisy, and Miles as each tries to invent a candy even better than the Oozing Crunchorama. But with these contestants—who can detect chocolate by touch and lift 50 lbs. of taffy as if it weighed no more than a loaf of bread—it’s going to be a close race.

I think that young kids should read this book because it teaches different people how to make great things and how it impacts different things. They can impact in a good way, or a bad way. It also has an educational purpose about what to do in a contest, and how to be respectful, and how to attempt to actually win the contest.

Any additional comments?

This book is great, so sweet and funny. By the first sentence I was hooked. This book is full of candy, spies, music, a secret ingredient , and the underworld. I love Logan, the candy makers son. I think you should read this book. Four friends and candy, what's not to like!

I loved this sweet coming-of-age story about true friendship! You'll probably want to have a few pieces of taffy and chocolate on hand to chomp on as you listen!

This book is separated into parts, each part from a different character's perspective. It's a very clever and fun twist that the beginning of the story is told over again several times, each time from the perspective of a different character.

By the end of the book, I just couldn't help but love Logan, Miles, Daisy, and my favorite, Philip.

My 5-year-old even enjoyed listening to parts of this story with me.

Great Performance and Sweet Story

Tis my favorite book i have probably read it at least 7 times. And now I can hear it as many times as I want. If I'm being honest I think it's even better than the harry potter book series. And those are very amazingly written books. Wendy Mass is a very talented writer and should be very proud of all her books.

One of the best books of all time!!!
