Use The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies to turn your read aloud or small group work into a time to improve comprehension and talk about the text in purposeful ways.

The end to summer vacation turns sour when Jessie's big brother, Evan, suddenly wants nothing to do with her. Evan just found out that his little sister will be skipping a grade and has been placed in his classroom for the up-coming school year. Instead of talking about what is really going on, the two begin to battle over making the most money selling lemonade. The struggle for understanding between these two siblings makes The Lemonade War perfect for a Book Club focused on making inferences to deepen comprehension.

ISBN: 9780618750436
Publisher's Summary:
For a full hour, he poured lemonade. The world is a thirsty place, he thought as he nearly emptied his fourth pitcher of the day. And I am the Lemonade King. Fourth-grader Evan Treski is people-smart. He's good at talking with people, even grownups. His younger sister, Jessie, on the other hand, is math-smart, but not especially good with people. So when the siblings' lemonade stand war begins, there really is no telling who will win--or even if their fight will ever end. Brimming with savvy marketing tips for making money at any business, definitions of business terms, charts, diagrams, and even math problems, this fresh, funny, emotionally charged novel subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone's intent.
