Step through the Candy Door and enter a world where games come to life, every choice matters, and the biggest victory may be learning how to lose with grace.
Ten-year-old Kat has a problem: she hates losing. Whether she is playing cards with her brother, racing friends in the neighborhood, or trying to win a simple board game, Kat's frustration often turns into shouting, stomping, and hurt feelings. To Kat, winning feels like everything-until one angry evening when a glowing, candy-colored doorway appears in her bedroom and pulls her into an adventure unlike anything she has ever imagined.
Beyond the door is a magical land of peppermint paths, cotton-candy skies, lollipop trees, and giant games that test more than luck. Kat soon finds herself inside life-sized versions of familiar games, meeting new players, facing surprising challenges, and discovering that her choices affect everyone around her. When she refuses to follow the rules, cheats to keep from losing, or lets her anger take over, the consequences are bigger than she ever expected. But when she stays calm, helps a friend, and tries again after disappointment, she begins to understand that games can teach courage, patience, kindness, and friendship.
Along the way, Kat meets a lively cast of friends, including cheerful Lilly, helpful Stella, cowboy-hearted Billy, confident Natalie, and Chip, a brave little pink monkey who becomes her loyal companion. Together, they travel through candy landscapes, game-board worlds, a western digital carnival, and a magical mall where every challenge asks Kat to make better choices than she did before.

Filled with bright imagery, imaginative settings, humorous moments, and meaningful lessons, this story is perfect for young readers who enjoy magical adventures and for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want a fun way to talk about patience, fairness, self-control, and friendship.

A.P. Koski is a family man from Idaho who writes the kinds of stories he wants his own children to read-adventures that are exciting, imaginative, and meaningful without feeling like a lesson disguised as homework.At the heart of his writing is the belief that children often learn best when they are allowed to discover the lesson for themselves. Rather than telling young readers what to think, Koski places his characters in situations where choices have consequences and qualities such as kindness, honesty, patience, responsibility, perseverance, and good judgment emerge naturally through the story.His goal is simple: entertain first, while quietly giving young readers something worthwhile to carry with them after the adventure ends. The humor, mystery, unusual characters, and unexpected journeys are designed to keep children turning pages, while the deeper ideas encourage them to think about their own choices and the people around them.Koski is also passionate about bringing shorter novels and novellas back to younger readers. He believes children should have access to complete, satisfying stories that challenge their imaginations without overwhelming them with hundreds of pages. His books are written to help developing and reluctant readers experience the confidence and enjoyment that comes from finishing a real adventure.For A.P. Koski, a great children's book should make a young reader want to know what happens next-and leave a parent feeling that the time spent reading it was worthwhile.
