The Candy Caper

Molly has a habit of getting ideas stuck in her head. When she spots a jar of candy on Principal Shelton's desk, she has to know exactly how many candies are inside. Luckily her two best friends, Simon and Rosie, are ready to help her find out, even if it lands all three of them in detention.

This is the first book in an early chapter book series about three best friends whose plans, missions and schemes are bound to stir up their school. It comes from Tom Watson, the author of Stick Dog.

The book is part of the HarperChapters line, which aims to build confident readers one chapter at a time. The books are short and fast-paced, with art on every page and milestone markers at the end of each chapter, making them a natural next step for readers of I Can Read! titles.
