Hi my name is BRAEDEN and I am going to tell you about how my class read the book, Lemonade War, by Jacqueline Davies. This book is mostly about Evan and Jessie. They are brother and sister and they have many adventures together. But let’s just stick to one of their adventures. So, it was a sunny day and Evan was laying down on his basement floor throwing a baseball. It was the last 10 days of summer vacation and Evan was bored. Evan had been trying to get away from Jessie and not play with her. And then the doorbell rang. “Ding dong” went the doorbell. Evan raced upstairs so he could get there before Jessie did. It was the mail. A letter said that Jessie was in Evan’s class! Evan was angry. He did not want his 7 year old sister to be in his 4th grade class.
Then one day later, Evan’s friend Scott came to sell lemonade with Evan. Jessie offered to help but Evan and Scott just walked away. Evan didn't even like Scott but when Evan was little, he and Scott were best buddies but when they got to elementary school, they didn’t hang out. Evan had no other friend that was available at the time, so Evan chose to have Scott help out with the lemonade stand. He did not want Jessie to help out because he was really mad that Jessie was in his class. She was supposed to be in third grade. Jessie felt sad that Evan just said that to her because she knew Evan was not friends with Scott. Jessie went to her room so she could read Charlotte’s Web and that's what she did when she got sad. She read that book because she knew what happens next. So she was at the part were Wilbur is going to get killed when Charlotte makes a web to save Wilbur. Again Jessie knew what would happen but it was the best part of the book so Jessie felt a little better but was still mad at Evan for saying that to her. It was really mean what he said.
At the lemonade stand Scott was hot and thirsty so he drank some lemonade. Evan said “hey cut it out do not drink any more lemonade. We are here to sell lemonade not to drink it!” But Evan did want a nice and cold glass of lemonade too but it was for the customers. Then back at the house Jessie was trying to find someone to do a lemonade stand with. Then she remembered that Evan had a friend named Megan. Jessie had never met her but Jessie had listened to many good stories about her so Jessie went to Megan’s house. That's when Jessie started to think about how in 2nd grade some mean kids started a club named wild hot jelly beans. When they started that club Jessie was in it but then the whole class joined but like a month later Jessie found out that the club’s real name was “We Hate Jessie.” Jessie was really sad but then at home Jessie told Evan and evan said to not go near them so Jessie rang the doorbell of Megan’s house. To get more information read the book! When we finished we read Tale Of Despereaux but I liked the Lemonade War better but I still liked the Tale Of Despereaux.
