What's your favorite candy?

[Andrew]

my most favorite candy is moon rocks!!!!!!

[Danielle]

I thought the time traveling one was cool. I will have to look back in the books to remember some of the other candies.

[Andrew]

ya the "sands of time" or whatever. personaly i think all the candies are awesome.

[Valerie]

I like them all, but I guess I love the one that makes you fly the most. Too bad you don't get wings!

[Andrew]

ya moon rocks are pretty cool. okay i've decided that my favorite is the sand candy is my favorite.

I thought the mirror mints were the most interesting. Weird to imagine that it isn't just a wall behind the mirror.

[Britt]

I liked them all! And still can't decide on a favorite.

[Jess]

I loved mirror mints, and moon rocks, and brain feed, and... well, all of them.
I read this book a while ago when I was in early middle school, so I didn't catch it, but apparently Mull wrote a line around the melting pot mixers that caused some controversy (don't remember exactly what it was) but I really just wish people would look past a mistake that can't really be fixed and appreciate the genius that Mull put in to this book. Still one of my favourites. :o)

Yeah, the melting pot mixers didn't bode well with a lot of the fans. I've seen many accuse him of racism, and plenty others got upset. I think they didn't particularly like that Summer could tell she had become Asian just by feeling her eyes.

I agree that he could deal with race better in his writing, but I love his books anyway.

[Andrew]

yeah i agree. but how did she know she was Asian? I mean for all we know she could of had chinese eyes or something. but like Maxy said i still love his books

*cough*China is a part of Asia, but I know what you mean*cough*

[Jess]

I agree with Maxy: Mull didn't handle it in the best way possible (one of the other kids could have told her what she looked like) but I still appreciate his writing. I'm sure he's been told by many people that he messed up, but there's nothing he can do about it now. Also, I believe the editors should have suggested a re-write of that section.
Also, though I'm not trying to downsize kids' intelligence or the issue of racism, a lot of children including myself did not find that section of the book inslting to a particular race. I didn't give it a second glance. I don't want to turn this thread into a complaint post about The Candy Shop War, so I'll end my part of it this way: everyone's beautiful/handsome. Yippee!! :)

[Andrew]

oops. sorry i forgot. * embarrassed*

[Andrew]

SHWEET!

[Andrew]

YEPPITY YEP! a total classic. nice to meet you ryan

[Aisling]

I think either moon rocks or brain feed because my dog would probably have some very interesting things to say. Does any one else have a pet that would say some interesting stuff? If so ,what would he/she say?

[Readingowl15]

I have to agree with most of you. It was definetly MOON ROCKS!!!!!!

[Aisling]

Wouldn't it be so cool to be able to jump like that and completally blow someone's mind!

[Kjorban]

I like the brain feeds. I'd love to talk to my dog!

[[deleted user]]

[Amrit123]

MOON ROCKS ARE GREAT WISH THEY WERE REAL

[Neko]

[Ava]

Brian feed for my dog!

[Rachel]

moon rocks or brain feeds... I have to look back to remember the others

[Neko]

Sweet teeth would be awesome for debate team.

[Tanner]

i really liked the mirror mints so i would not have to travel by car any more

[Kaedon]

Brandon has a way of stating things like they are, so I think the supposed racism wasn't bad or anything. He was just stating like it would happen, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
