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.

We had to read this the summer before fifth grade. Im in sixth grade now and the lemonade war was better than the book we had to read this year. And if u didnt know already theres a sequel called the lemonade crime

Evan and Jessie are brother and sister. Do you think they get along? Well, they are brother and sister, so shoudn't they? See what happened to their sibling relationship in this fantastic novel, The Lemonade War, by Jacqueline Davies.

I love this book Ithink there will be anthor one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evan and his smarty pants younger sister Jessie get along great. Until the summer before Evan enters the fourth grade, and Evan learns that his sister will skip a grade, and be in his fourth grade classroom! Sibling rivalry commences on a grand scale. First with pulling pranks on each other, and then with an epic contest of who can make more money selling lemonade over the summer. Readers experience the sibling rivalry, comedic antics, dirty business tricks, and get introduced to economic concepts such as “underselling the competition.”

I remember this book! There might not be a lot to say about lemonade selling, but Jacqueline Davies proves that wrong.
