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.

four VERY different kids gather at a candy factory to compete in a competition. this is a very heartfelt story that teaches you a lot about friendship. it sometimes reminds me of my friends - we're different but the same. the ending is really surprising and i like how logan, the candymaker's son gives up first place at the competition to save his dad's factory.

so creative and awesome, I loved this b ook- it wasn't too short either which I loved!

i love all of the wendy mass books! even though it's a bit lengthy, it is TOTALLY worth it! one of the best books ever written, in my opinion

Logan, Miles, Phillip, and Daisy are all chosen as contestants for the future candymakers competition. They all want to enter for different reasons. Everybody thinks Logan has some extra skills and help being the candymakers son and all.

what this book is about this book is that there are four consestents that are in a candymaking contest .adn then they get to have a tour in the factory where the constest is they get to see bees in a cave and they take the sweet out of it and also the factory is called sweet for life

Love Wendy Mass and almost all of the books she writes. definitely check this 1 out is like twists and turns in a book..
