felicisowl's book review was featured in The Candymakers.
"If nothing changed, there'd be no such things as butterflies." This was a sweet surprise! I mostly read adult fiction nowadays, but I've missed books like this! What surprised me is that THE CANDYMAKERS took itself surprisingly seriously - it sold itself as a mystery, and it was a mystery, and an especially good one at that! It starts out as a fun, sweet candy-making adventure, but it doesn't end on that note. It's never until it's over: THE CANDYMAKERS doesn't stop revealing secrets until the very last page. Somehow both unexpectedly funny and unexpectedly touching, THE CANDYMAKERS never turns treacly and the fun never fizzles out - it has plenty of meaningful stories to tell. There is something so nostalgic about reading something I would have enjoyed as a child. Some things never change: I will always love elaborate candy factories and child detectives, and this was the sweetest, funniest, smartest combination of both.Almost 6 years agofelicisowl added a book review.

The Candymakers is definitely a sweet surprise! The story takes place in the Life is Sweet candy factory where the candy-making contest was taking place. Daisy, Philips, Logan, and Miles are the four protagonists of the story. This book is unique compared to others because it gives the same story in four different perspectives. I appreciate that Wendy Mass presented the story in that format because it gives readers a sense of what is going on without giving only one biased perspective and it helps you understand each character better. The four are oblivious to the secrets each person held. Peculiarly, the secrets they had ended up to be what kept them apart, but they used it to protect the factory and to reconcile. By the end, everyone learns something about each other and became close friends.Almost 6 years agoaustin323750 added a news bookmark.

I'm signing up for a chance to get this book just because. :) I've always liked National Geographic for they're Weird But Trues and educational books. I've always been sort of a book-worm but National Geographic just always caught my eye and I think this book is one of the few I haven't read! I may or may not win, still dunno, but if don't win I'll try to get my father to buy the book himself.About 6 years agoastrydnayanahs added a movie review.
This movie's pretty funny lol. Though I watched it like 5 times so I'm tired of it for the time being... This Home Alone's better than the first, well in my opinion at least.About 6 years agoastrydnayanahs added a movie review.
