CandyMakers Book Review
Candy Makers is a book about 4 characters that are in a contest to become one of the greatest candy makers of all time. The four contestants Logan, Daisy, Miles and Philip are competing against each other at the Life Is Sweet factory to make the most creative dessert. Logan lives at the Life Is Sweet Factory and is extremely nervous about meeting other kids his own age. Daisy, the second contestant, is a undercover spy. Miles, the third contestant, is self-conscious and has never had a best friend or someone that he can rely on. Lastly, Philip, the fourth contestant pretends he is a mature adult. He doesn’t get any attention at home, so he feels he needs to be the center of it everywhere he goes. When he was small he toured the factory with his father and met a friend, but a random accident forced Philip to leave the tour abruptly, and ever since he has been angry at Life Is Sweet, the little boy he met that day happened to be Logan sweet. Philip is abrasive and determined, but deep down he is hurt and sad, and perhaps only the candy contest can heal. When Daisy, Miles, and Philip show up to the factory, Logan wonders if he’s missing out on friendship and other normal things. Logan’s dreams of winning with his Bubbletastic ChocoRocket began to seem less important to him than making friends and helping them become stronger and happier kids.
I give this book rating a five because there are lots of interesting things that happen in the story and you have to read until the end to find out most of the mind grabbing clues.
