jlrowse 's review for:
The Candymakers
by Wendy Mass
I'm not the audience for this book, which is why I gave it two stars (which means, remember, "It was okay"). It is probably perfect for upper elementary. There were little things about the book the bothered me, namely, the font switch anytime the name of the factory came up.
I did really like the structure of the book, as the story is told from each of the four main characters' points of view. I also liked the underlying message that we just never know what battles people are fighting until we take time to get to know them.
But other than that, it didn't really hold my interest all that much, and the only reason I finished it was because I told my niece I'd read it so we could talk about it. I am interested to hear what she thought of it. She's 9, and might have a completely different connection to it.
