In Fourth Grade we had a book challenge. There Were Levels of the challenge - each level had around ten books and you had to read around three on each level to get to the next level. This Introduced Me to a lot of great books, some of which you will hear about later. The Particular Book I am going to talk about a book called The Candy makers. A Couple Of years after I read the Candy makers I read a series that started with the book eleven birthdays and traveled on to Graceful. I Poured Through the books and their magical happenings, never realizing that they were from the same author as the Candy Makers. A Long While later I read a mango-shaped space (Beautiful but sad book - I highly recommend it) and only then did I make the connection between the two series.
The Candy makers summary:
