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.

I like this book a lot.It shows the relationship between 2 close siblings. It is funny and full of mischief.Read the other books by this author too!

I loved this book! It really spoke out, "Forgiveness is the best way"! I loved how in the end, Evan and Jessie reunite! I really enjoyed it!

This book was awesome! I loved how Jessie could find a new friend but still, even while fighting, have a friend she already knew and loved- Evan!

This is the best mystery book ever!

I love this series!!! The two siblings, Evan and Jessie Treski, are both very competitive. In the summer, they had a challenge to see who could sell the most lemonade and make a profit. Through all the fighting and competing, who will win? Read to find out!

IN this story Evan and Jessie a brother and sister make a bet. Who can sell the most lemonade in just five days winner takes all the money. Evan is good with people, Jessie is good with numbers and figures. Will they find that they do better together rather than apart with both their assets working together.

i love this book because i have three brothers so i know how it is to 1.not have anyone to play with. and 2.be the youngest :( i have read some of the other books in this series and i recommend them to girls about 8-12. so once again i'm loving this book -lulubeans

I love the Lemonade war series. It is interesting and I find it very cool. I kinda understand how one of the main charterers, Evan, feels when your younger sibling is in your grade.

i want to read this book so bad!
