Summary

Summary

A New York Times bestseller

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.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

The Candymakers is an interesting novel centered on a candy contest…The way Mass writes from the four different perspectives of the main characters is excellent and helps readers understand the characters more. Parts of the book are superbly funny, and readers will be surprised by the twists in the story.” RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“Ingeniously confected…Wendy Mass sweetens her clever tale with generous gobs of local color and eccentricity. Enough to make Willy Wonka himself proud.” Barnes & Noble, editorial review
“A treat all its own…Reveals a multitude of mysteries, explaining all the clues about misunderstandings, spies, and sabotage that Mass has dropped along the way…Readers will be richly rewarded.” Booklist
“A real page-turner. The characters are intricate, flawed heroes with whom readers will identify.” School Library Journal
“Sweets fans will love the gooey sensory details. Earnest and sweet, with enough salty twists not to taste saccharine.” Kirkus Reviews
