Candy Smash

Jessie and Evan Treski are in the same 4th grade class together. Jessie, Evan’s overachieving sister, has decided to publish a school newspaper by Valentine’s day. Mysterious candy hearts with unique messages on them start to appear in students’ desks. The poetry assignment encourages Evan to write a secret poem about a girl in class. Jessie decides to survey the class about their crushes and is determined to publish all the secrets in her newspaper, unaware of how she could hurt everyone involved. This is an entertaining mystery. Each chapter starts with a word and its definition that pertains to the chapter it precedes. After the story the reader will find a copy of Jessie’s newspaper, a list of poetry terms and their definitions, and 10 poems. Fun read. This is book #4 of the Lemonade War Series.
