The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies


Who doesn’t like a little sibling rivalry? Jessie and Evan Treski experience some during the last six days of summer vacation. Jessie is very smart and skipped the third grade and is going to be in the same fourth grade class as Evan. Evan doesn’t want her to be in his class. They won’t talk to each other because of this. So they start a lemonade war. They make a bet on who can earn one hundred dollars or more by selling lemonade by the end of summer. Jessie teams up with Evan’s crush – Meagan Moriarity. They aren’t just stirring up lemonade mix; they are stirring up some trouble too. Do you want to find out who wins? Pick up the book and read this fantastic story and you might end up in the war too!

I could not put this book down! I got it from school and read it in one day. It is not very lengthy, but a decent sized book. I was so into it, that when my mom called me for dinner I was startled. My favorite part was when Jessie sabotages Evan’s lemonade. The plan was downright dirty – literally! When Evan tried to get back at her, he went a little too far and it had a big effect. This book was just amazing!

This book is great for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. The reader would get tips in running a business as well as an intriguing story. Be careful though, because you might break your ribs laughing so hard! -- E.D., Garden City

I really liked it and my favorite part was when Evan saw his sister having a lemonade stand and he got mad. I wish the author writes more books like this. C.D. & A.S. Stadium

i liked the book alot. i especailly liked when Jessie had a lemonade stand with a girl Evan likes from school. I love how they have a contest to see who raised more money in a week, and the winner gets to keep the losers money. i didnt like when Evan stole Jessies money but he gave i back. i also love how Jessie wanted to give her money to help save animals.

Anthony Fioravanti 6-123 The Lemonade War was a really good book. It had a strange beginning, but when I was done with the first few chapters, I was in a reading trance. My favorite part of the book was when Jessie ruined Evan’s cooler of lemonade. She put caterpillars, flies, and dirt in the lemonade! Both Evan and Jessie had their own sets of problems. Like when Evan’s partner was drinking all their lemonade, or when Jessie had no customers because everyone was buying lemonade at Evan’s stand.
