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.

What I like about this book is that it has a dictionary definition of every name of the chapter. I can't wait to read the other books in the sister.
This is a good book. It is about a older brother and his little sister. She is going to be in the same grade as him next year. They usually play together and get along. When he finds out she is going to be in his class he stops being nice to her. They had a lemonade stand war to see who can make the most money. Read the book to see who wins.
This book is about a brother and his younger sister. They are going to be in the same grade next year because she was able to skip a grade. He is not happy about this and they have a lemonade stand war before school starts.
I really liked this book and I think people should read it way more often. It shows how crazy siblings can be and how big of fights they can get in with only little conflicts. Also it shows how nice people are and how people can help other people.
After misunderstanding the factor that he would be facing in fourth grade, Evan decides that it would be best to avoid his sister Jessie. But the idea ruins
this is a story about two tight siblings, Evan and Jessie. Then a letter arrives at their home informing them that Jessie will be in the same class as Evan. AND SHE'S A YEAR YOUNGER THAN HIM! Evan is suddenly furious with Jessie. this means war. A LEMONADE WAR! This is a hilarious story about how two sibling become rivals and do all it takes to PUL-VER-IZE! Read this book!
I have not read this book in a long time but this is a story about a brother and sister who are in the same grade but his sister skipped a grade so he is mad and then they sell lemonade and the war begins.
Jessie and Evan have a bet that whoever sells the most lemonade takes all the profit of the loser Jessie tries to sabatodge evan.
Jessie and Evan are the main characters. Jessie and Evan started a lemondae war and they have 5 days to compete. The first one to $100 wins. There is some fighting in the book because Jessie is skipping grades and going to be in them same class as Evan and he doesn't like that. He wants his teacher all to himself. So they made lemonade stand and the war began.
