Publisher's summary

Welcome to the Sweet Tooth Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe, where the confections are a bit on the... unusual side. Rock candy that makes you weightless. Jawbreakers that make you unbreakable. Chocolate balls that make you a master of disguise. Four young friends - Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon - meet the grandmotherly Mrs. White, owner of the Sweet Tooth, and soon learn about the magical side effects of her candies. In addition, the ice cream truck driver, Mr. Stott, has arrived with a few enchanted sweets of his own.

But what about the mysterious man in the dark overcoat and fedora hat? Why are all these "magicians" trying to recruit Nate and his friends? Who should they trust? The mystery deepens and the danger unfolds as the four youngsters discover that the magical strangers have all come to town in search of a legendary, hidden treasure - one that could be used for great evil if it fell into the wrong hands. The kids, now in over their heads, must try to retrieve the treasure first. And so, the war begins....

Indescribably good!

My 8 year old son and I have audiobooks going almost constantly.
I have been a lifelong reader and cannot say anything that would adequately describe how much both of us enjoyed this story.
In addition to a very thoughtful and original plot, my son would literally beg for more listening time, as each chapter left us both wanting to know what would happen next.
This book has so many elements of a great story. Humor, fantasy, mystery, loyalty, good guys and villains, just to name a few.
Highly, highly recommended.

This book was very well written with surprises and cliffhangers at every turn. Brandon mull is probably my favorite author. To you who is reading this I strongly suggest reading/listening to his other series Fablehaven. The delivery and voices of the person reading this book portrayed the characters extremely well. Overall one of my favorite books.

Really fun and original story. The narrator does a great job with all the voices and building excitement during action scenes.
