The lemonade war

The lemonade war by Jacqueline Davis is a delightful read. The story is about a brother and sister (Evan & Jessie) in the last days of summer before the new school year begins.

I found this book to be fun. I actually learned a bit about business as well! Evan is a concerned about the upcoming year because his sister Jessie will be in his grade (& class) -- she is skipping a grade.

Because of some miscommunications, they start a lemonade war -- whoever makes the most money selling lemonade will win all the money.

Along the way there is marketing strategies, business math, and even a little bit of business ethics thrown in.

Plus, I'm always a sucker for a good ending.
