The lemonade war5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() It didn’t seem like a series to me, and I didn’t actually love the book, so I didn’t know until this moment that there are more in the series. I would recommend it.Īnd-surprise!-there are more. It is a painless lesson in economics with optional math exploration. It’s almost like a more modern Beverly Cleary novel, but with different children. It’s a quick read, and characters are not tremendously fleshed out, but you get interested in their story and charmed by the whole thing. While it is true that The Lemonade War is both a painless economics lesson and leaves room for math exploration, I liked it not because of those things, but because it is neat and endearing. Even so, I was dubious because A) I hadn’t heard anything else about it and B) the cover is really not so great. My daughter had pulled it from the shelf in her classroom, telling me that her teacher was very picky about what was there and so curated a very good collection. ![]() The reviews for Jacqueline Davies’ The Lemonade War are mostly good, but after being critical of Island of the Blue Dolphins, I find myself reluctant to call this one how I read it: ![]()
