The Lemonade War (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Library Binding – October 11, 2022

Both my 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter really enjoyed this book. They have a similar relationship so I loved that they could relate

I read this book to my granddaughters and they loved it! Laughed in all the right places with some life lessons thrown in. Good figurative language and money skills for teacher discussions.

I haven't read the entire series, but I'm very impressed with the quality of this first novel in the series. Kudos to the author for presenting a positive view of entrepreneurship, in an age when children are brought up on a diet of movies about the evil developer who wants to build a shopping mall on the wildlife preserve. That alone makes this book a stand out. The author skillfully weaves several sub-plots and themes into the story. When I teach this book, my students learn about "reading between the lines," skilful and well-paced exposition, fresh and imaginative metaphors, as well as neurodivergent children, learning disabilities, conflict resolution and first crushes. Terrific book, highly recommend.

My daughter was able to complete her summer reading in a week! Book came in quick and in perfect condition.

Cute story about sibling competition. The beginning of the story consists of a lot of sibling rivalry that was a bit hard to understand for my kids. Given the young ages of the characters, 3rd/4th graders, and my kids being 2nd and 4th themselves I didn't expect quite so much hostility. Overall we read this one together and enjoyed it and had a lot of conversations around that not being the way we treat our siblings.

The Lemonade War was a great read for 3rd graders if kept the students engaged and guessing who would win the lemonade war I recommend this book for your children or students.

Just the book I needed when my 9 YO hit a bit of a reading dry spell - she zoomed right through it and couldn’t put it down! It was an easy, engaging and fun read. Involves some sibling rivalry, some early economics, and a lot of humor and charm amongst other things. Would love to get my hands on the whole series!

Evan and Jessie are brother and sister who are fourteen months apart. To Evan's alarm, his little sister is going to join him in the same class this fall because she's skipping grades. It's going to be embarrassing, particularly because she's so much smarter than he is. She can do difficult math problems fast and without a calculator, while he's bad at math. Jessie may be intelligent, but she's not savvy with people. She doesn't make friends easily and doesn't notice social cues on whether or not people like her or are making fun of her. Evan, who is a people person, has helped her with that, but he's no longer willing to assist her.Stemming from Evan's discomfort about Jessie skipping grades, he's mean to her. With hurt and anger between them, they start a lemonade war to see who can make the most money selling lemonade. They recruit other people, move booths to different areas of the neighborhood, and they play dirty. Even though it's summer and they should be enjoying themselves and their lemonade businesses, things get real ugly between the two.This is a finely crafted book. The dynamics between Evan and Jessie felt very real and both characters came to life. Sibling rivalry, misunderstandings, and other themes play well into the story. The business and money aspects of the novel should prove interesting to children. I'd love to read the other books in this series.

Jacqueline Davies is such a great author! My 4th graders loved the plot!
