 If you like cupcakes, cookies, and brownies you will love The Candymakers by Wendy Mass. You should read this book because it has a lot of surprises, interesting characters, and is somewhat suspenseful. My first reason you should read this book is that there are many surprises. For example the author states, “Her parents must be on a mission already.” This is surprising because normal parents wouldn’t usually be on missions. My second reason to read the book is there are interesting charters. An example is, Philip, “The taller boy (in the blue suit! and tie!)” This is interesting because most kids don’t wear suits and ties. My third reason to read the book is that the story is suspenseful. My proof is the author says that Daisy does the following, “In her head she counted down: five, four, three, two, one then she leapt.” Then, it’s a new chapter from a different point of view and you have to wait to see what happens to Daisy. Remember, these are all the reasons why you should read The Candymakers by Wendy Mass.

 If you like candy and sweet treats, you will really love The Candy Smash by Jacqueline Davies. You should read this book because the action plot, the emotional plot and Evan’s poem keep you wondering. First, you always wonder who put the candy hearts in everybody’s shoeboxes. The author includes, “Where did this candy come from,” asked Mrs. Overton, looking surprised.” Second, you have to wait to the end to see if Megan really likes Evan or it is two other people. The author implies, ¨It was like a math equation with symbols: if M.M. = Megan Moriarty and E. T. = Evan Treski and a heart = love, then M. M. + E. T. inside a heart = Megan Moriarty loves Evan Treski. But what did that mean?” The last thing that keeps you wondering is, who Evan’s poem is about. The poem said,
“Pony girl flying by always late lately in my heart you laugh your happy laugh you smile your kindly smile you gallop past me standing still Dumbstruck,” and Jessie asks, “Who was pony girl? What did these words mean?” See? You really should read this book. You will find the answers if you read The Candy Smash by Jacqueline Davies. |
