Bookroo's summary

In a quest to craft the ultimate candy, four unique kids face off. Logan senses chocolate by touch, Miles avoids pink, Daisy lifts taffy with ease, and Philip guards his secrets. As they compete, mysteries unfold and friendships form. Who will create the most delicious treat?

From the publisher

Four children have been chosen to compete in a national competition to find the tastiest confection in the country. Who will invent a candy more delicious than the Oozing Crunchorama or the Neon Lightning Chew? Logan, the Candymaker’s son, who can detect the color of chocolate by touch alone? Miles, the boy who is allergic to merry-go-rounds and the color pink? Daisy, the cheerful girl who can lift a fifty-pound lump of taffy like it’s a feather? Or Philip, the suit-and-tie wearing boy who’s always scribbling in a secret notebook? This sweet, charming, and cleverly crafted story, told from each contestant’s perspective, is filled with mystery, friendship, and juicy revelations.
