The Great Berry War: Rise of the Candy Kingdom by Christian Laniz

Deep inside a hidden world where candy and fruit come to life, three unlikely friends are about to be pulled into the biggest conflict their land has ever seen. Rex, a fearless green jelly with more courage than sense, Tamu, a steady and clever chocolate biscuit, and Sfan, a quick-witted candy who always seems to find trouble before trouble finds him, set out on what starts as a simple walk through the Sugar Woods. What they find instead changes everything.

On the other side of the forest lies the Strawberry Camp, home to a proud and fiercely loyal tribe preparing for war. Rumors have spread of a mysterious blueberry army massing beyond the Berry Hills, its intentions unknown and its numbers growing every day. Tensions are high, old grudges are resurfacing, and the strawberries are ready to fight before anyone has even confirmed what the blueberries actually want.

Caught between two sides who are far more alike than either wants to admit, Rex, Tamu, and Sfan realize that stopping this war may fall on their shoulders. As they explore the Berry Hills, sneak past scouts, and piece together clues hidden in the old orchard, they begin to uncover secrets that could either prevent a devastating battle or ignite one beyond anyone's control.

With loyalty tested, courage pushed to its limits, and the fate of the Candy Kingdom hanging in the balance, this action-packed adventure follows three unforgettable characters as they race against time to turn enemies into allies before the first strike is thrown. Full of humor, heart, and non-stop excitement, The Great Berry War: Rise of the Candy Kingdom is a story about friendship, bravery, and discovering that not everything is as sweet — or as simple — as it seems.
