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 so good! I thought it was just going to be some boring book , but it is not. This is definetley one of my favorite books.
This book is about sibling rivalry about which sibling can sell the most lemonade.... in just 5 DAYS!! Jessie, skipped 3rd Grade and is super smart. Evan, on the other hand... is the exact opposite. Though he isn't as smart as Jessie, he's very social. Who will win?
This book tells about a sisbiling battle for who will sell the most lemonade in just5 DAYS! Who will win? Jessie, the girl is so smart she skipped third grade. Evan, on the other hand, is the exact opposite!
Siblings usually never get along (like me and my sister) and Jessie Treski and her brother Evan are doing that well currently with Jessie skipping third grade and going to be in her brother Evan's fourth grade class. Jessie gets all the good grades but now she just might ruin his own friend's relationship and he just can't take it anymore. They make a deal: who can sell the most lemonade in the last five days before school starts. But this book teaches that family is always together and everyone makes a good team if conflict doesn't arise first.
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.
This book is awesome. It's about a brother and sister who have a fight on who can sell the most lemonade first. I love it
cool
Great book about sibling rivalry. Includes tips for starting a lemonade stand. Can not wait to read the other books in this series. Love it.
I thought this book was a girl book but no, Evan is funny specially when he has to take a class with his little sister, that hurt so then the lemonade war begins before school started
