Thirty-two twelve-year-olds are competing in a candy making contest. Each candy factory gets four contestants. Each kid must design a new kind of candy. In the candy factory //Life Is Sweet//, the contestants are Logan Sweet, the son of the factory owner, who might seem to have an unfair advantage; Miles O'Leary, a afterlife expert struggling to get over seeing a girl drown a few years earlier; Daisy Carpenter (not her real last name), a cheery country girl who seems to like horses; and Philip Ransford the Third, who is rich and always scribbles in his notebook.



What are the steps to solving a problem? ** D ** efine ** P ** lan ** A ** ct  ** R ** eflect In __The Candymakers__ by Wendy Mass, Logan, Miles, Daisy, and Philip all solve a problem together. They define that the problem is that someone wants to steal //Life Is Good//'s secret ingredient for their chocolate. They plan to make sure that Philip wins the candy making contest because he made a deal with the person that wants to steal the ingredient that if he wins the contest then he won't take the secret ingredient. They act and prefect Philip's candy the night before the contest. They reflect together after the contest.

I used the strategy of determining importance while reading __The Candymakers__. When I read about each of the character's secrets (you'll have to read the book to find them out!) I knew that was important because they are an important part of the character's personality. I also knew it was important when I read about who wants to steal (again, READ THE BOOK) the secret ingredient because if they get it, they could make the candy factory go out of business. Another part when I used determining importance is when I read about who wins the contest (I'm not giving anything away). That's important because if Philip doesn't win, then whom ever wants to steal the secret ingredient will take it and make //Life Is Sweet// go out of business.
