JULY 2012: The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies - A refreshing read for future business tycoons, who are now in Elementary School!

"Fine for you Evan Treski," she said as she marched into the house, her fists balled up at her sides. "I don't need you. I don't need you to have fun. I don't need you to run a lemonade stand. And I don't need you to make friends in the fourth grade." Jessie Treski pg. 26 The Lemonade War

Thus began the Lemonade War between siblings Evan and Jessie Treski. With five days of summer vacation left the bet is to see who can earn $100 selling lemonade before school starts, the winner gets what the loser earned. While Evan battles through a dishonest friend, Officer Ken shutting down his lemonade stand in the town center and fruit flies, Jessie is making new friends and using smart business practices to sell lemonade all over town. Who will win the Lemonade War, and when Evan's anger gets the best of him will he be able to make up his costly mistake to Jessie?
