__ THE LEMONADE __               __ WAR __ By Jacqueline Davies Realistic fiction Nominated by Michael Tufankjian I read the book __The Lemonade War__ by Jacqueline Davies. In the book Evan’s little sister Jessie is one year younger than Evan. Their mom got a letter from the school that Evan and Jessie will be in the same class this year. Evan was not happy to hear this news. He felt that having his sister in class with him would cramp his style with his friends. Evan and his friend Paul decide to start a lemonade stand and won’t include Jessie when she asks to join. She gets upset and decides to call a girl that she knows from Evan’s class named Megan, and asks her if she wants to do a lemonade stand. The girls do all they can to try to get customers away from Evan and Paul. Evan gets really frustrated and Evan and Jessie decide to start a lemonade war. Whoever wins gets all the money from both the girls’ and boys’ teams. One reason I chose to nominate this book is that I really enjoyed reading it. It was really interesting and funny. I could relate to it because I have had lemonade stands in the past, and it is exciting to see how much money you can make. A second reason that I am nominating __The Lemonade War__ is that it was exciting to read about the war between Evan and Jessie’s lemonade stands. I couldn’t wait to find out who would win. Let the lemonade war begin!
