Part of the The Lemonade War (Graphic Novel) series
Siblings clash in a fierce lemonade-selling contest. Who will win?
Evan and Jessie Treski, siblings with contrasting talents, engage in a fierce lemonade-selling competition as summer ends. Evan's people skills and Jessie's math prowess fuel their rivalry. As the stakes rise, will their sibling bond survive the battle?
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.
