Summary: Evan and his younger sister, Jesse, react very differently to the news that they will be in the same class for fourth grade and as the end of summer approaches, they battle it out through lemonade stands, each trying to be the first to earn one hundred dollars. Includes mathematical calculations and tips for running a successful lemonade stand.

Review: This was a really quick read and the story is very relatable for kids.  The fighting between siblings and the rivalry that takes place makes the characters seem very realistic.  It was hard to decide who to root for (Jesse or Evan) because both characters are so likable.  The story was very fast paced and kept interest high throughout each twist and turn that the characters faced.  Overall, the book was very enjoyable and had very realistic and likable characters.  This book makes me want to read the rest of the series to find out how the characters have evolved and continued to grow.

This book was on the Bluestem 2014 Master List.
