A Booklinks Lasting Connection title

A Booklist Top 10 Crime Fiction title

 

(star) "The realistic depiction of the children’s emotions and ways of expressing them will resonate with readers. Great for discussion, this involving and, at times, riveting chapter book has something to say and a deceptively simple way of saying it." --Booklist, starred review

 

The Lemonade War

 

"Each chapter begins with a marketing term, defined, but implemented as only competing children can. The result is a funny, fresh, and plausible novel with likable characters." --School Library Journal 

 

"Lemonade stands, entrepreneurial schemes, and dirty tricks find their way into the competition before Evan and Jessie fess up to the concerns that are really worrying them. Davies, author of Where the Ground Meets the Sky (2002), does a good job of showing the siblings' strengths, flaws, and points of view in this engaging chapter book." -- Booklist

 

"Entertaining...Good reading for young capitalists." --USA Today

"Davies does full justice to this tale of intellectual precocity and single-mindedness." --Washington Post

"Zeroing in with uncommon perspicacity on the push-and-pull relationship between the two children...Davies casts them into a series of strenuous tests...Action and humor make the hard lessons go down easy."
--Kirkus, starred review
