The Candy Shop War

This is an okay book written by Brandon Mull. Four young friends – Nate, Summer, Trevor, and Pigeon – meet the grandmotherly Mrs. White, owner of the Sweet Tooth, and soon learn about the magical side effects of her candies. Then Mr. Stott arrives with a few enchanted sweets of his own. Danger unfolds as the four youngsters discover that the magical strangers have all come to town in search of a legendary, hidden treasure – one that could be used for great evil if it fell into the wrong hands. The kids must try to retrieve the treasure first.

A film is being planned based on the story. Mull is expected to release a sequel to the book called The Arcadeland Catastrophe.
