So many books and so little time to read them all. It's daunting to see so many promising books and even more being published every day. Hopefully our book reviews can help you decide what books you want to read next.

The Candy Shop War by Brandon Mull


We love Brandon Mull, author of Fablehaven. If you haven't read Fablehaven or any of Mr. Mull's book, you need to. His writing is entertaining and always fun to read. The Candy Shop War was not a disappointment like some authors who tend to have one good series, but fail to continue with other good books. You follow 4 young kids who become friends with a Candy maker who makes secret candy that makes you float in the air, become unbreakable, and breath fire to name a few. In order to have access to these mysterious candies, Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon have to do unusual requests such as break into museums and dig up graves. Each successful endevour is rewarded by Mrs. White, owner of the Sweet Tooth. Soon they realize they are in over their head when they are given the order to kill Mr. Stott, an ice cream truck driver that happens to also be a magician. Who can they trust since both are trying to find the treasure and then there's also a mysterious man that keeps showing up and coming after them. How can these 1o year olds stop this war and reclaim their friends and family who have eaten the white fudge that makes them oblivous to everything around them?
