But I will attempt to give you a taste of The Candymakers.įour twelve-year-olds are competing in a sort of cooking contest. In fact, I'm going to have a little trouble writing this without spoilers. We also build from a very Dahlesque premise to a book that contains quite a bit of young psychological drama. In each section, we find out surprising information not provided by the previous section. The Candymakers is told in four sections, essentially four novellas narrated by each of the four main characters, with some repetition of time frame as well as extensions of plot. We're talking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets Kurosawa's Rashomon.
You're going to have to wait a few months for this one, which I read in galley form, but you might want to put it on your list.
