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 was good because I liked how a boy and his friend were against the boys sister in a war.(the lemonade war.) The ending was my favorite part

This book is a read book!

My mom goes to a writing school with her! I love all her books.

Your mom knows Jacqueline Davies? That's awesome!

Do you know her, like, personally? That is so cool if you do!

I loved this book because it is a funny story. I want to read the candy smash, because I have read the rest of the series. Anyway great book overall. <3

I read this book as a group in my fourth grade, a year ago. It was a really creative and funny! I liked it because of it's different stands. To be clear I meant it had to pairs: Scott and Evan, Megan and Jessy. It showed the different perspectives. At first I thought it was just about two people arguing who's lemonade stand was better, but when I started to read it, I had a whole different thought. It started to change my thinking. When I saw the fourth graders hold the books during lunch, I thought about the cover. When I entered fourth grade, it was all clear. It was a very good book. I recommend it to all.
