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 such a good book it is good for the siblings that fight a lot because it teaches you that having a sibling is not that bad. This book is such a good book and if you have you not read it I would recommend it for you

This book is such a good book for those of you who are out there everyday fighting and argueing every day about stuff that does not even matter this book is all about it. You shoud read it if you have not.

i think this book is good because it talks about siblings and how they dont get along very well. what i dont like is that it doesnt really explain what happens clearly.

i did not really like this book it was about sibling trying to make summer money

people say its a bad book so i read it myself and its just a fight between brother and sister its a really good book

I am almost finished reading The Lemonade War. So far it's not a very good book. It was a little bit slow and boring in some places.

The lemonade war definitely was not the best book I've read. It could have been better. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with it.

This is such a great book. It is about a brother and sister who fight about who can make the most money by selling lemonade. The reason they started fighting was because Evan's younger sister Jessie was so smart that she was going into his class, even though he is one year older! You should really read this book.

OMG I read this in 3rd grade and I reread it for the thousandth time!!!!! This is so good! A tale of bonding siblings thrust into anger and sadness, who have a lemonade stand competition. Evan steals all of Jessies money, and then Scott stole all of that!!! But then, Evan and Jessie mad eup. It is such a sweet and moving story!!!!!

The Lemonade War wasn't the best book. It seems these days that there are many books about sibling wars and differences. Just recently I read the Pet Wars by Allan Woodrow. It was the same story, just the siblings were fighting about something else. i think that there are too many stories like this, and since I have read so many, the plot line is boring and predictable. That being said, it still is a good story, there are just too many others out there just like it.
