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.

it brings back memories for me.

I loved that the kids got to be at the candy factory. The characters are very funny. The point of view switches on and off with each of them and you can see the different reasons that they do the things they do.

I love this reallly amusing book...

The Candymakers is a really good book it is foul of suspence. It took a while to get hooked in but after that I loved the book. I think it is a awesome book and it is definitely one of my favorite books.

The book "The Candymakers" by Wendy Mass is avery suspensefull mystery. I love how Wendy Mass writes. Each chapter is a different character's point-of-view. I honestly could'nt stop reading! If you are looking for a fun mystery to read than I highly suggest reading this book!

I love that these kids are taking on a once in a lifetime challenge and risk to make the best candy in the city and be put in a famous candy company. This is a mouthwatering book full of candy every kind of child would love.

This book was a well-written mystery. I thought it was very very interesting. Despite the name, this book is not all about people who make candy. There are also some deep secrets that each one of these characters have to offer. I would definitely rate this book 5/5 stars.
