It was ok. I felt it started off strong, but then hit a dull spot. The ending was good, but I knew what was going to happen along the way.

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 is one of my favorite books
i love it.
great by a very long story for me
I really enjoyed reading The Candymakers! It is very well written! Very descriptive! I really liked how all the characters were totally different but they still all got along!
This book was a very fun read! I really liked the plot! It had lots of cool characters! It is a long book and sometimes it felt very slow. But, overall it was a good book!
This book is an interesting twist on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. A group of kids are assembled to try to win a candy making contest.
This book was great!! It had candy so what's not to love. It's just the plot that you can never quite get into. Or at least I didn't. I recommend it though. Just not my type of book.
Open up this book and jump into the world of candy, where nothing is what it seems. Meet Logan, the Candymaker's son. Although he seems nice, he has some deep secrets under neath. And then there is Phillip, who seems mean, but is definitely hiding something. Could he somehow be connected with Logan and the candy factory? Daisy is another contestant in the candy contest, but she too is hiding a very big secret, and is connected to Miles, with some strange allergies and a certain GIRL that he is determined to win the candy contest for. Only she's gone. Or is she? Read the book to find out.
I really liked reading this book and will always remember it because it is my favorite book by Wendy Mass. It was interesting to read about how different types of candy is created, but just the relationship between the competitors was interesting.
