For a full hour, he poured lemonade. The world is a thirsty place, he thought as he nearly emptied his fourth pitcher of the day. And I am the Lemonade King.

Fourth-grader Evan Treski is people-smart. He’s good at talking with people, even grownups. His younger sister, Jessie, on the other hand, is math-smart, but not especially good with people. So when the siblings’ lemonade stand war begins, there really is no telling who will win—or even if their fight will ever end. Brimming with savvy marketing tips for making money at any business, definitions of business terms, charts, diagrams, and even math problems, this fresh, funny, emotionally charged novel subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone’s intent.

This book Is great!

All these books are soo good!

I would like to tell you about a fantastic book I have been reading called "The lemonade War "This book is about a brother and sister, Evan and Jessie Treski. It is in the middle of the summer and a heat wave has hit them. So, Evan decides to start a lemonade stand. Evan is making a lot of money out of the lemonade stand until his sister starts one. Jessie is school, or math smart, but Isn't really smart with people or feelings. Jessie lemonade stand is making a bunch of profit and she thinks Evan is going to walk over and say "Hey, can I join your lemonade stand". But the exact opposite happens. Evan gets furious and both of them start a lemonade war to see who can reach 100$ or more money at the end of the week. Then both of them start to bend the rules by sabotaging each other but I won't say how, because you have to read it yourself to find out. I would recommend this book to people that fight with their sibling a lot, because then you can learn from Evan and Jessie. How can you learn from them? Well you can see why they fight and maybe try to avoid doing that with your sibling or even read how they apologize to each other so if your sibling is mad at you can try to say the same thing to your sibling. My opinion is that I liked this book. The reasons why I don’t love it or is my favorite is because it is so short and here is not enough back story to Evan and Jessie. There needs to be a sequel to this book about before the summer or Even when they are older explaining more about when they young before the lemonade war and the heat wave. I can connect to this book about Evan and Jessie as siblings and how they fight like me and my brother. Evan and Jessie were fighting about money like my brother and I. One time we went to a dollarama with our friends that brought all their money but me and my brother had an odd amount of money and we didn’t know how to spend it evenly. I was mad at my sibling like Evan mad at Jessie because my brother spent more money by a couple of cents. Well I hope you decide to read this great book called "The lemonade war" By Jacqueline Davis by: Gabriel

At first, maybe you would think ‘they are having a lemonade war by putting lemonade into water guns and doing it that way’. Or at least that is what I thought when I first saw the book. But this book is about a brother and sister having a lemonade stand to see who can earn more money. The purpose of this book is that is doesn’t matter how much money you can earn if you get into a fight with your sibling or friend, it only matters that you can work around problems just by talking to each other! I recommend this book to grades 2+

I read this book in 3rd grade it was the BEST!!!!!😀😀😀😀

I read this book in 2nd grade!!
