The Candymakers by Wendy Maas


Told in 4 perspectives about the same few days.  Logan is The Candymakers son.  He is from a long line of candymakers and is finally old enough to enter the candy making contest that both his father and grandfather won when they were 12.  He lives in the candy factory with his parents and has full run of the factory.  3 other contestants are coming to learn how to make candy and put together their entry into the contest as well.  Logan is sooooo excited because he doesn't get out of the factory much and doesn't have friends his own age.  Daisy then tells things of what is happening from her perspective, then Miles, and then Phillip.  As each kid tells their story we start to piece more and more truth and what is really happening.  Lots of twists and turns and parts reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  There is a sequel, The Candymakers and the Great Chocolate Chase.
