Overview

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.

  • Entertains, builds empathy, and teaches economics, all at once!

    Julia B. - 6 years 4 months ago

    This is a great book! I read it aloud to my third graders, and I have never seen them so invested in a story! The sibling rivalry and friendship dynamics make it relatable to them, and we were also able to tie in ideas from the book with our unit on economics and small business. After we finished, several students checked out the sequels from the library so they could find out what happened next to Evan and Jessie. I appreciate how it switches back and forth between the two (very different) characters' points of view, so it's relatable to girls and boys, social and more introverted kids, academic kids, and kids who struggle with school. We had some really great conversations about how the siblings were misunderstanding each other, and how important it is to make sure you look at things from other people's perspective. Highly recommend. #SummerReading
