THE CANDY SHOP WAR series book 1: The Candy Shop War (the only reason the book title has the same name as the series title is because it was originally supposed to be one book, just one):
A new candy store
has just opened in the small town of Colson. When four fifth-graders come
to check out the new store, they are befriended by the store owner, a
grandmotherly woman named Belinda. Since the kids have no money to buy
treats, Belinda offers them candy in exchange for work at the shop. After
a few days of hard work at the candy shop, Belinda decides the
kids are ready for more important work and she offers them magic candy, which
gives the kids supernatural abilities, in exchange for carrying
out dangerous, secret missions. Belinda is after a treasure she claims belongs
to her family, and she gets the kids to break into buildings and steal things
for her and even dig-up a grave. Most of the adults in town seem to be
under some kind of trance induced by the delicious and
highly addictive white fudge, mass produced by Belinda. So, no
one pays any attention to what the kids are doing. As the missions become
not only more dangerous but also more shady in nature, the kids are reluctant
to follow Belinda’s orders. It turns out, Belinda is not the only one
after the treasure, and she’s not the only one offering the kids magic candy
either. With their parents under the effect of the white fudge, the kids
are on their own trying to figure out what to do and who to trust.
Well that's it! So read it it's awesome! I could have written a better summary! but I have a headache. Sorry about the glitch, I can't fix it so please try to read it and I'll rewrite it later!
