I had just read the original Candymakers when I had the opportunity to read its sequel. I was not disappointed.This book picks up where the first one left off. I highly recommend reading the first book before reading this one. It does offer enough background story that you can figure things out for yourself but you will get to know and love the characters and appreciate their situations more if you start with The Candymakers.It has been four months since the Harmonicandy won the Annual New Candy Competition and the first candy bars are ready for production. Logan's family's factory has won the rights to manufacture the Harmonicandy, making it that much sweeter for the Life is Sweet Factory. The factory is holding a celebration to toast the launch of the Harmonicandy and the factory is swarming with sugar enthusiasts. Unfortunately, Logan has exceptional taste buds and something is wrong with the Harmonicandy that has just come off the line. Logan tells his friends but does not tell his parents, the factory owners, until they can sort out what kind of chocolate went into the prototype and how they are going to handle the violation of the contest rules that the two candies are not identical (no one but Logan and one other person loyal to his family notice the difference).In the meantime, Logan's father, The Candymaker, has proposed that the four kids go on a road trip to promote the Harmonicandy. Each person from the original candy making team decides to go, but all have ulterior motives. Will they be able to save the Harmonicandy?I enjoyed this author's use of different character perspectives, much like in the first book.
