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 it because it intersting, funny,and it's a lot of drama though because of the hot jelly beans thing and also the carly fight and just the whole war itself

The book Lemonade War, by Jacqueline Davis, has mainly the two main characters Jessie and Evan that are in the same grade, and are both siblings that do fight. The two siblings get into a fight that led into the Lemonade War, and so this leads into many settings in the book, some settings are outside or even in their friends house. The book's writing style is also very creative, it has some pictures here and there that help the reader imagine all of the scenes. “Whaddya think?” he shouted. “Yeah?” she stood up. “No, I don’t want any stupid ice.” The pain was starting to go away, like humongous wave that crashes with a lot of noise and spray but then slowly fizzles away into nothing." This quote shows how the author, Jacqueline Davies writes her story, she thinks about her audience which is usually children. And so her writing is a way that children may see the world ( or their P.O.V. ), to help the audience understand the story. I would recommend this story but just for fun because it is enjoyable to read the book because it has some pretty good surprises in the story. But the thing is that I think that the book is okay because it gives away the surprises/ plots pretty easily because you can guess what is going to happen next.

Lemonade war is a great book. the author has won many awards for other books. Evan challenges jessie to a lemonade war. first person to get 100 dollars win. this all started when Evan realized that Jessie was in his grade. Jessie is smart and Evan not so much

This all started when Evan realized Jessie was going to be in his grade. Jessie is very smart and Evan um not so much. read book to find out what happens.

I would recommend this story but just for fun because it is enjoyable to read the book because it has many interesting surprises in the story. But personally, I think that this book is okay because it does give the surprises/plots away pretty easily, because you could predict the up coming surprises that are going to happen.

the lemonade war is a you set book because you can't feel something coming and it describes the conflict in many ways and how to deal with a conflict with your sibling between a war. Also at the end it gives you a couple of tips to make you lemonade stand into a loot. Another thing is that each chapter it has a bisnis word and the definition under it and that helps you think of with the chapter is about. Also the author's writing style is great and you can read what they are thinking. Over all it is a great book you should read it.
