Eleven-year-old Delia thinks her sweet dreams have come true when she is invited to leave boring-old New York and become Princess Sugarpuff, daughter to King and Queen Gumdrop of the oh-so-magical Candy Kingdom. But there is something sinister under the candy facade, and things turn sour when she learns she is a pawn in a sugary plot to overthrow the surrounding food kingdoms.
I think it takes a lot for someone to write a book that’s for young readers and not talk down to them. I love that I just read a book meant for kids and it wasn’t watered down preachy mess. It’s a thought out world that is for kids, but is able to be readable for older kids and adults as well.
I hope more readers find this book soon, I can’t wait to have people to talk to about the series to come.

Do not miss out on the opportunity to read this book. J.L. Rademacher weaves together a delicious plot that will have you drooling in anticipation. The main character, Delia (Sugarpuff) is a well-written, snotty little girl who has so much to learn, and Rademacher throws her into adventures that test not only her strength, but also her character.
100/10 stars for this one--it's a true delight and well worth the read.
What a sweet treat of a book! (See what I did there?) Fun, engaging characters, great world building and a lot of wonderful set up for what’s to come. VERY excited for book 2. Now I’m going to have some cake and NO vegetables!
