The Candymakers

by Wendy Mass

Logan, Philip, Daisy, and Miles have all written essays and won a candymaking contest at the Life is Sweet candy factory, but all is not as simple as it seems. Each of the four has his/her own personal reason for competing, and you'll never guess their motivations. The same story, told from the four different points of view of each the participants, reveals more and more with each retelling.

The setting, a Willy-Wonka like factory with its own library, beehive, tropical rainforest, and cafeteria that makes chocolate pizza, is a place any kid (or grown-up!) would love to get lost in. I really enjoyed this sweet mystery!
