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, can detect chocolate's colour by touch alone?
When four twelve-year-olds, including Logan, who has grown up never leaving his parents' Life Is Sweet candy factory, compete in the Confectionary Association's annual contest, they unexpectedly become friends and uncover secrets about themselves during the process.

Miles, the boy who is allergic to merry-go-rounds and the colour pink?

Daisy, the cheerful girl who can lift a fifty-pound lump of taffy-like a feather?

Or Philip, the suit-and-tie-wearing boy 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.
