This is a copy of my review for the blog "Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My!"
What an imagination! Mr. Cordiner creates a world full of fun surprises, and a lesson about sibling affection.
The author presents these surprises and the lesson from the perspective of two children—the heroine, Emily, and her brother James—and writes in a way to which children can relate. For example, the adventure starts when a tooth fairy comes to collect James’ tooth:

This was a fun book! My son's name is James (a character in the book), BUT it's my 7-year-old daughter who has been reading this with me. When reading this, I heard lots of little girl giggle. She really thought this was funny, and it is quite silly, there's jelly monsters, snowball fights and of course, the chocolate archers (no really!).
It also has a bit of a cautionary slant to it as well. Maybe not caution but perhaps a lesson that you should treat your siblings well or that no mat More...

It’s been many years since I’ve read a kids book from start to finish. I’d purchased “Candy Wars” to read with my 7 year-old granddaughter. Her first visit we took turns reading. She managed her part without much help from this old geezer. By the time of her next visit she was on her own, I’d finished without her.
At its heart this is the story of a fantasy land where tooth fairies live when not slipping a few bucks under your pillow. Yes, fairies, it’s too much work for just one More...

Something strange is definitely happening when you wake up in the night to find a jelly monster making off with the tooth you left under your pillow for the tooth fairy! What would you do? Well, if you are James, you follow that jelly monster through the portal and right into the land of the tooth fairies. Only James finds himself with The Candy King who is planning ways to get all the teeth he can from the tooth fairies. (Yes, there is more than one tooth fairy! How co More...

I do love my Kindle. So, I've been trying to acquire more books to read, and see what some other children's book authors are doing. I found this book/author on Kindleboard.com.
I think the first I had to get used to is the style of this author. His style draws from terminology in Australia, a bit different than American English. However, I enjoyed the fantastic fantasy world that was created. I could see myself getting lost in the world of tooth fairies and candy creatures if I was a More...

My 13 and 8 year old loved it. I read it first then handed it over to them for them to share. For a whole week the kids talked about nothing else but Candy Wars. That in itself is enough for me to recommend this book.
I like the book for the theme. Seeing how Emily goes to the fairy world to help find her brother whom everyone else forgets about. I like how the boys picked up that siblings should stick together and take care of each other no matter what.

None of the characters really were given enough depth to make you like them. The fairies' dialog gave me a headache and made me almost root for the antagonist because they were just so annoying.

Not quite sure how to rate this one. My 7 and 4 year olds really enjoyed it, though I doubt it will attract much attention from teens/adults. Still, they enjoyed it and I love being able to sit down and read with them. I'll give it a 5 star because my kids kept asking me to pick it up and read it to them and we stayed up late the last night to finish it, so 5 from my boys.

Had its moments, but very few and far-between. Kids totally lost interest in it very quickly. Author's methods of going back and forth between the simultaneous stories once they got to the Candy Kingdom was very awkward and confusing.
