Two 7th graders — Cassie and Landon — are transported to a magical world of candy that seems like heaven. All the sweets they can eat, plus hilarious candy creatures. But danger lurks everywhere, like snapping choco-diles and fudge-alanches in marshmallow mountains. Can these kids lead the good Sweet Treats to victory against Tubba Bubbba Gum and his evil Sour Powers – while juggling cliques and crushes in the real world?

frosty
In the sequel, Cassie and Landon try to save the Kandy Kingdom from freezing to death by venturing into a strange new world — The Forever Frosty. It’s a frozen tundra full of magical ice cream creatures, topping tornadoes, and the Wizzard of Blizzard, who might be able to help them, if they can ever find him. Meanwhile, in our world, they have to juggle their new algae-fueled startup, “Purple Power” and the unstoppable reality show, “Livin’ Olivia.”

desert
In the finale of the trilogy, our heroes pursue their seemingly unstoppable nemesis, Tubba Bubba Gum, into a brand new world — The Dessert Desert. It’s a blazing hot desert full of baked goods critters, chocolate lava cake volcanoes, and the gigantic Scone-a-saurus. Can they vanquish Tubba in the ultimate showdown? Back in our world, Cassie struggles with her skateboarding team and Landon faces impeachment as student council president.
school visits
Author visits are an amazing way to get kids motivated to read. During the visit, Gregg can donate book copies to your school library, read a book excerpt, conduct a Q&A session, sign books, and lead a writing exercise where kids create their very own candy creature. Gregg can also speak to multiple classrooms/grades on a single visit.
