The Summer Of Cotton Candy by Debbie Viguié

I choose this book because i had nothing else to read.. but I ended up liking it. I would give it a 7/10 because even though at first I thought I wasn't going to finish it it kept me hooked with a new twist in almost every chapter. So now i can't wait to read the series and I would definitely recommend this book anyone my age.

This book is about a girl called Candace who has to involuntarily get a summer job because of her father who refuses to pay for her all the time. The problem is its way too late to get a decent job and even if she did get one her whole summer would be wasted away leaving her no time to spend her newly earned money, not to mention how low her energy levels would be.

At the start of the story Candace only has one real friend 'Tamara' who just happens to really rich. Tamara tries to talk Candace out of getting a job offering to pay for her summer but Candace knows her father won't allow this so she reluctantly declines.

When Candace tries to get a job at The Zone (a local amusement park where she's been going to for years) she is left with only two options; a janitor, and a cotton candy operator. After this point things start to go downhill for her from her name tag being "Candy" seeming more like a cruel joke rather than a mistake to the crazy train driver who tries to kill people. Staring off she has a lot of bad luck, and swears she would never come back if she survived this summer. However there are a few things she likes about the job, like finding true friendship... and love.

Of course because Tamara is rich she only sees that Candace is not around and stops supporting her decision to stay with her first job. There are many ups and downs but Candace never gives up and in the end she finds herself singing up for next summer... in advance.

  1. I've never heard of this book or author. Did you get it from our library? I hope you do read the rest of the series and will look forward to your reviews of the other books.
