A movie that deserves to be treasured for all ages including myself. This film is a film based on Christmas of course. However, portrayed in a different sense of the way. The Christmas Chronicles highlights two important characters Kate and Teddy who are siblings and wanted to prove Santa was real until a whole disaster collision occurs from a sleigh crash. Leading to the disaster of ruining Christmas all over the world. However, Kate and Teddy work together as a team together with Santa to rescue Christmas and gain the trust of the Christmas spirit. The film is very modern and shows a deep message that when we grow up. We must remember to celebrate Christmas with family and continue the traits of Christmas always. I give this film 5 star due to its sense of humor of laughter and the story itself. My second favorite Christmas film.

"If nothing changed, there'd be no such things as butterflies." This was a sweet surprise! I mostly read adult fiction nowadays, but I've missed books like this! What surprised me is that THE CANDYMAKERS took itself surprisingly seriously - it sold itself as a mystery, and it was a mystery, and an especially good one at that! It starts out as a fun, sweet candy-making adventure, but it doesn't end on that note. It's never until it's over: THE CANDYMAKERS doesn't stop revealing secrets until the very last page. Somehow both unexpectedly funny and unexpectedly touching, THE CANDYMAKERS never turns treacly and the fun never fizzles out - it has plenty of meaningful stories to tell. There is something so nostalgic about reading something I would have enjoyed as a child. Some things never change: I will always love elaborate candy factories and child detectives, and this was the sweetest, funniest, smartest combination of both.

The Candymakers is definitely a sweet surprise! The story takes place in the Life is Sweet candy factory where the candy-making contest was taking place. Daisy, Philips, Logan, and Miles are the four protagonists of the story. This book is unique compared to others because it gives the same story in four different perspectives. I appreciate that Wendy Mass presented the story in that format because it gives readers a sense of what is going on without giving only one biased perspective and it helps you understand each character better. The four are oblivious to the secrets each person held. Peculiarly, the secrets they had ended up to be what kept them apart, but they used it to protect the factory and to reconcile. By the end, everyone learns something about each other and became close friends.
