A Book for the Biggest Suckers (Candy Pun)

      The Candy Shop War: Arcade Catastrophe by Brandon Mull is such an interesting book. In the First book of the series, The Candy Shop War is about a new kid, Nate, who moves into town and meets a group of friends. Together Nate, Trevor, Summer, and Pigeon discover that a candy shop owner, Belinda White, is a magician and makes magic candy. The catch is, the magic candy only works on children. She is searching for the fountain of Youth and will stop at nothing, death even, to reach her goal of becoming young and powerful. In the end, these kids defeat Belinda White by turning her into a child with the fountain of youth and using magic candy to erase her memory.

       In Candy Shop War 2, the new villain is Jonas White, Belinda White's brother. Lindy, Belinda White, has now become apart of their group of friends and is completely oblivious  to her former identitly. But when Lindy and her new friends are recruited to thwart Jonas White's evil plans, her risk of learning her true identity is higher. Jonas White uses something a little more complicated than magic candy. He uses stamps that allow you to fly, become super strong and like steel, become super fast, or breathe underwater. Theses friends go undercover and try to figure out his plans. He is going after Uweya, a giant model of the earth. If anything is done to Uweya, the same will happen to the earth. This kind of power could control the whole world.
     
       I really enjoyed this book. All in all, This book would have a rating of an A. It was so dramatic, detailed, and very interesting. I did not enjoy the pacing as well. I think the more time could be spent on areas where little time was spent. This book was adventurous and a new conflict occured every chapter. You couldn't wait to continue reading.

       I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Fiction, Cliffhangers, Action,  and Adventure. I would suggest reading the first book so you are not as confused.
