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.

The Candymakers is a really great book about 4 children who are in a candy competition. Whoever wins will have there candy sold all over the world. Each of them are in the competition for different reasons. This book would probably fall under the genre of realistic fiction/mystery, I think it is a really great book.

So far it is an amazing book and makes you want to have sooooooooooo much candy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is about a competition to create an amazing candy, but it gets much more complicated than that. It starts with Logan, the candy maker's son, but right at a very exciting part it switches to a different character. So, you hear the same story from four different people's perspectives.
