I loved the book because I also had a lemonade stand as a child. I was impressed with what they decided to do with their money.

WOW i just couldnt put the book down i had to keep reading. It was so descriptive and leaves a mystery behind at the end. You just want to hope theres another book because of all the things that happen.

This book is about a brother and a sister that have a lemonade war. The brother is 1 year older that the sister so you would think he would win. But the sister is still smarter. A good part in this book is when they really fight and try as hard as they can to win the war. You would like this book if you like competion books and a really shocking ending!

The Lemonade War is very interesting. I think it is funny the way Jessie retaliates against her brother.

I liked The Lemonade War because I liked the way they decided how to win their money, and what to do with it afterwards. I liked the fact that no one won. I thought it was funny. I liked how they fought to get money. I liked the way that Jessie was better at Math than her brother Evan. I liked how Evan was mad because his sister was going to be in the same class.

The Lemonade War is very interesting,I like the way how Jessie and Evan fought about the money and them earning money.
Also when Jessie is going to be in Evans class gives it an extra touch.

I loved it! I like how Evan and Jessie get into a fight and at the end they work it out. Also I like how they made their signs diffrent so they could get more customers. I know they made the right coice to call it all off. You should really read this book.

The book was great because it reminded me of when I was little. When I had my lemonade stand I raised $40.20 for a charity.

We really liked this book because the girl wanted to make a lemonade stand to compete with her brother. We recommend this book because it was humorous.

This book was great! It was very descriptive. I couldn't put the book down. The characters are also awesome. It is very interesting with what they did with there money. I was also suprised that they put all there expirence on a business information billboard. I would give this book a 9 out of 10.It is also interesting to see that there business billboard won the Labour Day contest!
