I really loved this book. It follows four children that are entered in a candy making contest. Logan the candymakers son, Miles, Daisy and Phillip. The book tells the story of the same two days from each child's perspective. Then switches back to Logan to narrate the end (although we still occaisionally hear from the other children. I really liked getting each characters point of view. As you read each part you get a little more information about the other children and other things going on in the factory. This book has espionage, adventure and action. All four children learn things about themselves and their families and become friends over the course of the adventure. I couldn't tell you which kid I liked best. I really liked them all a lot for different reasons, although I was happy when the narration returned to Logan at the end. The factory itself was amazing and the descriptions of the different types of candy were just incredible. (I really loved the s'mores room and candy and would be happy to just live there forever.) I also want to mention the cover because it was just amazing. Bright, colorful and completely able to draw me in.
