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 AMAZING! I don't really like to read so much, but once I started I was like "OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO KEEP READING!!!" And then when my teacher said "Time to stop reading!" I was sad :( Though, that shows you just how good this book is! Can't wait to read the others!

I had to read a book during the summer and my mom told me to read the lemonade war books because it was a new series and she wanted to see if we would like the book. I wasn't to thrilled about it but once I started reading the book I couldn't get my face out of it. The Lemonade War was one of the best books that I have ever read.

I like this book. It is about a brother and sister who each have their own lemonade stand. Whoever makes the most money wins a prize. It also has some suspense in it.

I really like this book. It is about a brother and sister who each have their own lemonade stand. Whoever makes the most money wins a prize. I'd recommend it to kids grade 3 and up.

I would recommend this book because it is action packed and easy to write about and also easy to understand!

This book is very addicting. It takes a long time to actually know what the war is about. If your a good reader you will love this book. The best chapter is chapter 8. That chapter really changes the whole book.
