In the town of Spring Haven, four children have been selected to compete in the national candymaking contest of a lifetime. Who will make a candy more delicious than the Oozing Crunchorama or the Neon Yellow Lightning Chew? Logan, the candymaker's son, who can detect the color of chocolate by feel alone? Miles, the boy allergic to rowboats and the color pink? Daisy, the cheerful girl who can lift a fifty-pound lump of taffy as if it were a feather? 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.

I read this book as a kid and loved it so when I saw it at a booksale I had to pick it up. A lot of the times when I re-read books from my childhood as an adult I don't enjoy them as much, but, that was not the case here.
I think I enjoyed this book more as an adult than I did as a kid. Wendy Mass does an amazing job talking about big emotions like grief, jealousy, anger, forgiveness, teamwork and friendship in a way a child could understand. I feel like adults sometimes forget that kids feel many of the same emotions as we do and I love how it is represented in this book.
