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.

Evan is going to be in fourth grade. Unfortunately, his younger sister Jessie is also going to be in fourth grade next year because of her above-average intelligence. Tension runs high and the siblings decide to compete to see who can make the most money through a Lemonade Stand. Through bribery, treachery, sabotage, stealing each others’ friends, being hurtful to one another and arguing, the siblings ultimately grow closer together. They learn to accept their differences, deal with other kids and learn the meaning of true friendship and family. I think this is a charming book and makes a really good read, especially if you want to learn a few business skills in the process.
Evan and Jessie Treski will be in the same fourth grade classroom next year, since Jessie will skip a grade. Evan is not really happy with the idea of having his little sister in the same grade, especially because Jessie is the "smart-one" and he's scared of being embarrassed by her. Jessie can't understand why Evan is so mad at her. She is feeling so happy and excited that she'll be in Evan's class next year, because Evan is the "good-at-understanding-people-one" and can help her to fit into the new group. This disagreement between sister and brother will end in The Lemonade War, where the first one to earn one hundred dollars selling lemonade in the 5 days before coming back to school wins. The winner keeps all the money. This is a book full of funny situations and is enjoyable to read. I recommend this story for children in the 8-10 years old range.
This is an realistic story about what can happen when you run a lemonade stand. I found the characters' different ways of managing the business fascinating, but I didn't like the sibling rivalry, which seemed just a tad forced. All and all, a good story.
This book is about two siblings who have an argument about who is smarter. So they have a contest during summer about lemonade stands and who can sell the most lemonade and has the most money.
The Lemonade War series are about a brother named Evett and a younger sister named Jessie. they are having war because Evett dose not want his sister to be in the same fourth grade class as him because she's smarter than him and that will embarrass him. So,they have a war and who ever has the most money by the end of the summer will get to keep the other's money and to show who's smarter at selling!
In a war between brothers and sisters, you never know what will happen. This certain war went to the business world of lemonade stands. Who will win? Read to find ou in this awesome book.
Overall I thought this was a very good book. It had a lot of plot line, and there was a mix of realism and humor. There are two kids - a brother and sister - who are in a fight. To end it once and for all, they decide to see who can sell the most lemonade in five days. But what starts as fun and games takes a turn for the worst, and teaches the reader about how important siblings are to each other. In conclusion, this is a funny yet touching story.
I Bet it'll be good!!
The lemonade war is a good book to read. A brother and a sister battle each other for who can get the most money selling lemonade. This is not my extreme favorite but I liked this book.
