Resumen del Editor

ALA Schneider Family Book Award-winning author Wendy Mass offers this tasty treat of a tale sure to appeal to any listener’s sweet tooth. The Candymakers follows 12-year-olds Logan, Philip, Daisy, and Miles as each tries to invent a candy even better than the Oozing Crunchorama. But with these contestants—who can detect chocolate by touch and lift 50 lbs. of taffy as if it weighed no more than a loaf of bread—it’s going to be a close race.

Amazing Book

I think that young kids should read this book because it teaches different people how to make great things and how it impacts different things. They can impact in a good way, or a bad way. It also has an educational purpose about what to do in a contest, and how to be respectful, and how to attempt to actually win the contest.

BEST AUDIOBOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any additional comments?

This book is great, so sweet and funny. By the first sentence I was hooked. This book is full of candy, spies, music, a secret ingredient , and the underworld. I love Logan, the candy makers son. I think you should read this book. Four friends and candy, what's not to like!

loved the story but the narrative was not good

great book, the authors did a great job but the narrative was awful. the guy was so monotone it downplayed the story.

I could smell candy🍫

I felt like I was there. I love how detailed the story was. great job Wendy Mass 🧁

Perfect to listen with your 6th grader

My 6th grader and I decided to read/listen to this book together. It is suspenseful yet teaches compassion and self understanding. I loved how each of the characters learned something about themselves as well as the others. A great read for those looking to share a book with their kid!

Not Willie Wonka!

When I begin reading this book, I thought I was going to lose interest because it just reminded me of another Willy Wonka story. But it was very good and got better and better and I really loved the entire storyline. I read it for our Family Book group and especially for my 10-year-old granddaughter. I’m so happy that I did. Fun book!!

The coflict

The voice does not seem to fit
the book. I wish you gave a little more imagery.

Fun and Fantasy

Another excellent book on the Sunshine State list that I enjoyed listening to with my 11-year-old daughter and she read along with the print version. It was challenging for her because, at 450 pages, it was the longest book she had ever read. But the story was a pure delight as it was told from the perspectives of the four main young characters. This provided some repetition, which was helpful in terms of comprehension. The author's imagination as she described the candy factory infrastructure made the reader/listener want to jump into the book and join in the fun. A fun book that teaches a lesson.
