2010 book 173

Wendy Mass' The Candymakers
EXCELLENT middle-grade book about four twelve-year-olds involved in a candy-making contest, one of whom is the candy factory owner's son. Each child is the focus of one section, filling in all sorts of great backstories. The characters are great, the way the story unfolds is great, and all the stuff about candy is GREAT. It comes out in October (just in time for Halloween candy season?) so be sure and check it out if you're in the mood for a really fun read. A.
