Magical candy that gives kids superpowers? Sweet! The possibility of evil overtaking the world? Not so tasty.
And so begins The Candy Shop War, a trilogy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Beyonders and Fablehaven series.
Welcome to the Sweet Tooth Ice Cream and Candy Shoppe, where the confections are a bit on the…unusual side. Rock candy that makes you weightless. Jawbreakers that make you unbreakable. Chocolate balls that make you a master of disguise.
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.

The kids, now in over their heads, must try to retrieve the treasure first. And so, the war begins…
