About this ebook

Here is a clever blend of humor, math wizardry, and business know-how. As it captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister, this poignant novel also subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone’s intent.

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.

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 at understanding people. She knows that feelings are her weakest subject.

With just five days left of summer vacation, Evan and Jessie launch an all-out war to see who can sell the most lemonade before school starts. As the battleground heats up, there really is no telling who will win—and even more important, if their fight will ever end.

The six books in this fun-to-read series are:

• The Lemonade War
• The Lemonade Crime
• The Bell Bandit
• The Candy Smash
• The Magic Trap
• The Bridge Battle

Ratings and reviews

I love the interesting part where Evan and Scott his friend are doing a lemonade stand and his sister and Evan were supposed to do one together. Evan has been acting weird lately. And his sis is in second grade and next school year she is going to be in fourth grade.

Its a good plot and after you read the book there is a good lesson to be learned and if you go on the scholastic website and you can order you own paper back copy for $1 wow thats where i got my copy....order it and they will ship it to you

I enjoyed this, along with all the other The Lemonade War books in the series. These books are humorous selections, with heart warming family moments.
