Life Is Sweet (A Graphic Novel)

A sweet graphic novel of friendship and candy. Wendy Mass takes readers back to the bestselling world of the Candymakers in this delectable adventure.

Everyone—and every place—has its origin story. Step back in time to 1952 Brookdale, where the scent of sugar and summer fills the air, and the biggest adventure is only a bike ride away. 

Meet four friends with dreams much bigger than their small town. A regular at the town junkyard, Sam Sweet can find anything—except the courage to enter the first Nationwide New Candy Contest. Frank yearns to create maps that people will want to crawl inside of. New-in-town Evy longs to dazzle with magic tricks, but the deck is very much stacked against her. And Frank’s little brother Henry? He just wants to make the fluffiest marshmallows Brookdale (and the world) has ever seen.

Each on their own journey, Sam, Frank, Evy, and Henry swap ideas, practice new skills, and pick each other up when it looks like all is truly lost. Whether it’s braving stage fright, finding the perfect candy recipe, or simply believing in themselves, they discover that together they can turn the impossible into something wonderfully sweet.

Brimming with heart, humor, and the magic of true friendship, this delicious graphic novel is about finding out what you are meant to do and the people who will help you get there.
