The book The Lemonade War is about friendship, maths, and a fight between brother and sister. The story in the book takes place during a summer vacation.
Evan, the elder brother, is people-smart. He is good at communicating with people. He is enjoying the last few days of the vacation when he gets a piece of bad news. His sister, Jessie, math-smart, is going to skip a grade (跳级) to be in his class. Everyone else will know his sister is much smarter than him. That’s why he feels terrible. He decides not to walk with her, talk to her or run a lemonade stand (货摊) with her as it is planned.
Jessie, on the other hand, is excited because she and her brother will be in the same class. She really enjoys being with her brother. She can’t understand why he suddenly refuses to share things and run a lemonade stand with her. It’s a puzzle (难题) for her, and she should be good at puzzles. But this puzzle is about feelings, and Jessie knows that feelings are her weakest subject.
The fight between them grows until it turns into a lemonade-selling competition. Whoever earns (赚) $100 first wins, and keeps both their earnings.
So who will win? Read the book and find out what will happen next.
