The Candymakers

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.
