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 is a really good story. It has really cool ideas for a lemonade stand. I want to have a lemonade war with my sister. I LOVE LEMONADE AND BACON!!!!!!

one of my favorite books. If u didn't read it then do it now

Evan and Jessie are mad at each other and are both trying to destroy each others lemonade business. They try and make there lemonade better than the other. Jessie even put dead fly's in her brothers lemonade. I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!!!

Lemonade war is about a boy named Evan and he was just about to start fourth grade when he got a letter saying that Evan sister that is younger then him 4 months is going to be in his class Jessie was smart and skipped third grade. Now everyone will know that Evan is not that smart and people will see how start Evan sister is. This was interesting book it is a really easy book and I just read it for fun but it turned out a good book.

In this book, Jessie and her brother Evan Treski are about to start school when their parents get a letter telling them that Jessie will be skipping third grade and starting up in fourth in the same class as Evan. When Evan hears of this, he is totally bummed and refuses to even talk to Jessie. When he decides to sell lemonade with his friends. When Jessie starts to sell lemonade with another future classmate, Evan finds out and gets really, REALLY mad at her. Then they make a bet. Whoever gets a hundred dollars first wins. Winner takes all, loser gets none. Who wins the Lemonade War? You'll have to read it to find out!

i loved this book it was awsome it is the typical sybling relationshhip i recommend you read this even if you do not like leomonde aid

Who likes to read about contests and mysteries? Well, two siblings compete against each other to see who can sell the most lemonade. Along the way, trouble happens. Who will win? Read and find out!

I guess this book is okay for like, third graders, but I honestly thing it was pretty boring. I am a 6th grader though.

The Treskis are in the middle of an all-out war over lemonade. Who will win? Jessie with her math skills? Or her people-person brother Evan? Keeps you guessing 'til the very end.

I loved this book. I could totally relate with Evan because I have a younger genuis brother. I can't wait for the next series to come out.
