“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 is people-smart. He is good at talking to people -- even adults. His younger sister Jessie, however, is really smart at math, but when it comes to people, well . . .
Although this brother and sister they love each other, Jessie and Evan are constantly arguing with each other. Sound familiar?
Called the Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies, this book is about a week-long battle (bet) between brother and sister to see who can sell the most lemonade and make the most money in a week. The winner takes ALL the profits to do with as his he or she likes.
This is a funny, clever book that even this librarian who is fearful of math enjoyed.
Recommended for grades 3-6.
