About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Love this book! I have read it about seven times and completely adore it's cunning mystery and witty humor and can't wait to read it again! Great job, Wendy Mass!

I love all books written by Wendy Mass she is fun and creative but always has a serious matter underneath! It keeps me coming back for more every time. My daughter read this books for her school report and loved every word. It is totally worth the money I paid for it. It amazed me that all four kids that were so different came together for a good cause, though it took a while to reveal it. And Daisy the only girl who studied at LIFE IS SWEET for the contest, well she is a whole other thing. I highly recommend this book for someone who loves candy, adventure, and surprises. To top it all off this book made me want to turn the page it added more and more until I just could not stop after my daughter read it i took a liking to the book as soon as I started. I hope this review gave you a good preview on what this books is Hugs, Jaya

It took me a while to read considering that it has 600 pages but it was worth it!! In 600 pages who could think that there could be so much detail and imagination!! Right when you think you know the ending it throws you off again!! It makes my mouth water because of the candy and I never wanted to put it down!! It is worth the money and time!! I love wendy mass books I have read almost all of them!! Read the free sample and you will be hooked
