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.

This is a book written by Wendy Mass. There is a sequel to this book called The candy makers and the great chocolate chase. This book is told in the perspective of four children. The first is Logan. Being the son of the candy maker, and both the son and grandson of the champions of the past winners, Logan feels for then a little bit pressured to win the annual Sweet candy making contest. Next is Miles. He lives on this earth, but is constantly planning the after life. Because of this he constantly sees death every where. Next is Daisy, the only girl in the group. She comes across as cheerful and bubbly, but is really a spy in disguise. Last, is Philip. He's used to winning every thing, so he's sure he will win this to. But when a problem arises, these unlikely four must work together. Will they be able to do it? Read the book to find out!

I just read this book again, and I actually cannot stress how much I love this book. When I was done, there were literal tears in my eyes because I didn't want it to end! Logan, Daisy, Miles, and Philip are all kids in a new candy contest, and none are what they first appear to be. You develop opinions on each kid, until you read their perspective and your opinions change! This book teaches you not to judge a person by their looks or actions because you never know what they are going through in their life. This was a great mystery and one of my all-time favorite books. I strongly recommend this book for anyone and everyone!
