I read this book with the kids and we all loved it. It is a book I would recommend as a great read aloud for older elementary age children. There are many wonderful questions in the back of the book that sparked some really great discussions in our family. This is one I am sure I will read again when my 3 and 5 year old are older.

This book had potential but I don't think it delivered. I liked the premise, kids eating magical candy to solve a mystery, but most of it was pretty boring. The characters were really flat with not much development throughout the story and they were all so similar. The dialogue was blah and his descriptions were unimaginative and stereotypical. I did like the plot twist at the end though which helped.

I had no idea how much I would like this book. We've all heard the adage not to take candy from strangers. Another saying we all know is to never judge a book by its cover. Mull provides compelling reasons to follow such sage advice.

Mrs. White, a sweet grandmotherly figure who makes candy. Who could be more trustworthy? Surely not...
