Here is a clever blend of humor, math wizardry, and business know-how. As it captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister, this poignant novel also subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone’s intent.
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 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 at understanding people. She knows that feelings are her weakest subject.
With just five days left of summer vacation, Evan and Jessie launch an all-out war to see who can sell the most lemonade before school starts. As the battleground heats up, there really is no telling who will win—and even more important, if their fight will ever end.

Taught my sons math and money concepts previously not considered
I picked up the Lemonade War series for my sons (ages 10 and 8) this past summer for bedtime reading. The dynamic between Evan Treski and his younger sister, Jessie, changes several times through the book as the two siblings compete to earn the most money from separate lemonade stand sales. Both employ friends and clever sales tactics to gain the upper hand. However, their competitive nature (and moral dilemmas) ultimately undermines their relationship and their hard work.Jacqueline Davies crafted an ending that repairs the main characters’ relationship while managing to leave the final challenge unresolved. I recommend parents purchase the The Lemonade War and its sequel The Lemonade Crime because their children will want to resolve the crime cliffhanger. The third book in the series, The Bell Bandit, is a stand-alone story from the first two books.The Lemonade War deftly touches on the vocabulary and morality of economics, while maintaining a suspenseful narrative that engaged my sons and taught them many math and money concepts previously not considered.My sole detraction is this is yet another children’s story featuring a single-parent family (the father abandons the family) with an adult who isn’t engaged raising her children. The mother disappears through major portions of the book, leaving the children to their own devices. With the father abandoning the family rather than sharing visitation rights, Evan’s frustration feels more like a convenient plot device. Divorce, sadly, is a reality for more than half of all marriages. Evan and Jessie might have been better developed with a father figure in the story.In summary, the book succeeds in balancing Jessie and Evan’s temperament. Their individual strengths and weaknesses are critical to the story’s development. Neither one is portrayed as better than the other.I recommend this book for children ages 8 and up, especially if shared as a bedtime reading with parents.Rating: Four stars

Exceptional middle grade novel
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.
