About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I am only at part two chapter one, but it is so far one of my favorite books I have ever read! I started reading it when my friend Lanae was returning it to the school library and then I thought that it would be a good book because it was big.I know my reading Coker level is red and the Candy Makers is orange, but I read it anyways because two reasons; it would give me more AR points,15 not 1, and I knew it would be a good book!

i love this book it has my two fav things. candy and my fav author and she is a really good writer i have read all her books and this one is the best. it is the best book i have ever read.

This Book is so good! It makes you think, and with so many twists, it is evident that Mass Put a lot of thought into this book. I love how it goes into each perspective, and leaves you on a cliff hanger each time the perspective switched. This book is fun, whimsical and all around great! I reccomend this to anyone who loves mysteries, candy, and lots of fun.
