I loved this book and have read it multiple times. The character development is strong in this book and the author switches between perspectives seamlessly. And of course the book is lovable because of the fact that it has to do with candy and sweets!

This is possibly one of my favorite books! I absolutely loved the storylines from the different perspectives. The book was a quick read, mostly because I could not put it down! There was enough excitement to keep the pace moving, but not so much that I got scared. Nice morals about helping one another, respect, looking beyond differences, etc. Did I mention that I liked it?? Haha :)Also, I didn't struggle too much with the similar premise to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, since plot and writing style was very different.

Delightful and fun. A book written for upper elementary and pre-teens. Charlie and Chocolate Factory mashed into a contemporary story of four twelve- year olds competing in a candy contest. Each character tells the story from their point of view and the unveiling of secrets and friendships made create a fun and heart warming tale.
