In the case of rock candy, the syrup is left for several days, which provides plenty of time for the formation of large crystals. In the case of fudge, because the syrup is stirred continuously, a large number of small crystals is formed. When making glass candy, gummies, or marshmallows, the syrup is cooled down so quickly that no crystals can form at all.

Reviewed by: The Candymakers Kate Quealy-Gainer Mass, Wendy . The Candymakers. Little, 2010. [464p]. ISBN 978-0-316-00258-5 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 4-6. The Confectionary Association's Annual Candymaking Contest is fast approaching, and four children have been chosen to compete to make the world's newest candy at the Life Is Sweet candy factory: Logan, the reclusive son of the factory's renowned Candymaker; Daisy, the irascible young girl with a thing for romance novels; Miles, the shy boy with some very strange allergies; and Philip, the bratty rich kid who also happens to be the son of the man attempting to take over the candy factory. What begins as a mere derivation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory soon turns into quite an appealing mystery as it becomes apparent that a saboteur has infiltrated the factory and is intent on stealing the Candymaker's secret ingredient. The likely suspect is of course Philip, but none of the children, including Logan, are quite what they seem, and as their secrets are revealed, readers will find themselves questioning the motives of each of the contestants as they piece together the clues to uncover the identity of the interloper. The narrative structure here is key as the story is told in four parts, each focusing on one kid, offering vastly different perspectives on the same events and maintaining an intriguing sense of uncertainty. There is also a fair amount of magic and whimsy, with the Cotton Candy Room and the High Jumping Jelly Beans of the candy factory calling to mind the delights of Willy Wonka's world. A sweet but not at all saccharine ending ties together the various pieces while offering a rather delectable look at contestants' candy entries. Mystery lovers and foodies alike will find enough to satisfy their appetites in this tasty whodunit. [End Page 196] 2ff7e9595c
