Reach for this book when your child is starting to explore more independence and needs to understand the subtle difference between a harmless secret and a manipulative one. It is a high-stakes adventure where fifth graders are gifted magical sweets with incredible powers, but they soon realize these treats come with strings attached. As the tasks they perform for the shop owner move from chores to ethical compromises, the characters must decide when to say no and how to trust their own moral compass. It is a fantastic choice for 8 to 12 year olds who love superheroes and magic but are ready for deeper conversations about peer pressure, integrity, and the weight of choices. Through the lens of candy and magic, it provides a safe space to discuss why 'good' people sometimes ask you to do 'bad' things.
