The Candymakers is a book about 4 contestants trying to make the worlds best candy. Each character gets to tell the story from his/her point of view. I loved the mysteries that you got to learn about and solve.

This book is based on a true story during World War II. Taffy's village is under attack from German U Boats, so the USA is trying to stop the attacks. I liked that it took place in an area near me, but it was hard to understand because they wrote in a North Carolina accent.

Tia Lola, Miguel's aunt, comes for a visit to Vermont where he lives. She only speaks Spanish so Miguel and his sister have to learn Spanish to communicate with their aunt. I recommend this book because it is funny!
