Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

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.

  1. This story is heart-warming and funny it shows a real relationship between a brother and sister in a lemonade war. I loved this book but I didn't read the sequel because I couldn't find it and I decided to read something else.

  3. Interesting description. What are the marketing tips like? Are they just stuck in the story or do they add to it.

    Also the graphs and diagrams are they used to further the story or the way you understand the characters? In my head I'm pictured they would look something like the PowerPoint story we read in class.
