Product Description:
What if there were a place where you could get magical candy? Moon rocks that made you feel weightless. Jawbreakers that made you unbreakable. Or candy that gave animals temporary human intelligence and communication skills. (Imagine what your pet would say!) Four young friends, Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon, are befriended by Belinda White, the owner of a new candy shop on Main Street. However, the gray-haired, grandmotherly Mrs. White is not an ordinary candy maker. Her confections have magical side effects. Purposefully, she invites the kids on a special mission to retrieve a hidden talisman under Mt. Diablo Elementary School. However, Mrs. White is not the only magician in town in search of the ancient artifact rumored to be a fountain of youth. She is aware that Mr. Stott, the not-so-ordinary ice cream truck driver, has a few tricks of his own.

This book is great! I absolutely love Brandon Mull's writing style. So imaginative, but at the same time it all seems so possible. I definitely recommend this book young adults and adults alike!

This book was really exciting. The characters were interesting and I liked the kids in the book. The plot was creative with lots of twists and turns. It had about eight different climaxes. I would highly recommend this book.

I could not put this book down. When I very first started to read this book I thought this was going to be another Charlie and the Chocolat factory story. Boy was I wrong. When I got to the middle of the book, I had to stop and find something chocolat to eat before I could continue, the plot was that mouth watering. It was a great adventure to read I recommend parents to read this one out loud to thier kids to explain the moral about candy and strangers. I can see this book becoming a movie in the near future.

I love reading children to young adult books that I can then share with my neices and nephews. This book would keep them interested. It prooves that an adventure based on fantasy can be placed in modern times and seem beleiveable. I really like Brandon Mull's style of writing.

The Candy Shop War is definitely a departure from Brandon Mull's highly successful Fablehaven series. A stand-alone book, though as full of magic as the Fablehaven series is, that is where the similarity ends. The magic here is darker, and more violent, and could be frightening to younger children. The main characters are believable as children, but the narrative is often stilted to the point of feeling almost contrived. The vocabulary level is extremely rich, but the author seems to go out of his way to use the most difficult word choice possible, which at times distracts, and is sometimes annoying. After enjoying the Fablehaven books, I was disappointed in this book. I had to make myself keep reading to the end.
