A lip-smacking, mouthwatering, absolutely delectable debut, BELLYACHE: A Delicious Tale by Crystal Marcos is a literary feast for ages seven and up. In the vein of Roald Dahl's best-loved adventures, Marcos offers a mystical, character driven escapade that intertwines strands of reality with a larger-than-life fantasy world.

When Peter Fischer sets out to help his grandfather at Papa's Sweet Shop, he will quickly learn that sneaking sweets and covering up his sugar-dusted tracks will have major consequences. As Peter is transported to a mysteriously delicious, faraway land, a curious people known as the Candonites, some of whom have no time for a non-Candonite, will teach Peter a lesson on what it means to be different and what it means to forgive.

Look for Marcos' exciting second book in the children's series, HEADACHE: The Hair-Raising Sequel to BELLYACHE.

A delightful tale for the young...

I really enjoyed this story, its reminiscent of Charley and the chocolate factory mixed with a magic grandpa, I think the whole point in storytelling is giving the child something to think about and reflect on, even if they don't think they are...The dream of every child would be to actually be in a sweet shop! Even if the quests are not what you thought! (No spoilers) ...

I love stories with a moral lesson, and this certainly fits the bill...

The narrator has a nice sounding voice and did all the "voices" too. that makes the story even more magical...

Nice one!
