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 it was good but definitely not one of my faves parts were long and drearily were others were relatable and funny the book was on and off for me however it could have been that it was realistic fiction which is not my favorite genre but you'll have to read for your self

The Lemonade War is an amazing book! It is about a brother and sister of complete war of complete opposites that start a lemonade war. Will it every end? Read the book to find out.

i liked it Jessie and Evan were made at each other

I liked how they got into a battle

This is a really great summer story. When Evan and Jessie get mad at each other, they start lemonade stands, trying to make a competition to see who can make the most out of it. The suspense begins!!!!!!!!

i read this book for book club at my school!!

This is a really cool book, Iv'e never read anything like it. this brother and sister duo, Even and Jessie are running a lemonade stand and trying to see who can make the best of it. the is defiantly the ideal summer story.

bwojo bwojo

for some weird reason i read the 2nd one first and now really want 2 read this 1 bet its great

Evan and Jessie are mad at each other. they begin the lemonade war. its funny. sometimes they cheat. in the end will they become friends?

The Lemonade War is about a brother and sister who decide to have a contest to see who can sell the most lemonade. I thought it was a dumb story because these kids were amazed coming away with a profit of 7 or 8 dollars. Then when the sister thinks her brother’s winning she sabotages his lemonade. This book sets a bad example and I would not recommend it.
