The Candy Smash

The Candy Smash  by Jacqueline Davies

The Candy Smash by Jacqueline  Davies is book number 4 in the Lemonade War series. This book tells about Valentine’s day and rumors going around about different “couples” in the 4th grade classroom of Mrs.Overton.

The Candy Smash is mostly about Jessie and Evan Treski who are brother and sister. They are in class making Valentine's Day boxes because in a couple of weeks it  would be Valentine's Day.  In this book there are certain rumors going around in the 4th grade about a certain ‘’couple’’ in the class. The rumors in the book are about a girl named Megan Moriarty and Jessie’s brother, Evan Treski. There is a lot of drama in this book about the rumored ‘’couple’’. It is so dramatic it is funny. Except for the fact that Evan hated when Jessie would spread rumors about Megan and Evan being madly in love.

In the book The Candy Smash I loved when in the middle, towards the end of the book Jessie brought all of the love surveys home. When she went to double check or count to see if she had  all 27 surveys, there were only 26.  So Jessie looked everywhere for the 27th survey, but it was nowhere to be found. It was  such a love mystery. I also liked the part where Jesse wrote down in her clues notebook then whispered to herself as she wrote ‘’8:44am Evans desk no hearts…

It is such a love mystery. I love it.

I think a good age level for this book is 8-10.  Younger would most likely like to have the book read to them. I give this book a total of 3 out of 5 stars because the book  was a little too easy for people over 10. Also for me the book was a little to lovey dovey, but I still did really enjoy reading The Candy Smash by Jacqueline Davies.
