Family Book Club: "The Lemonade War: The Graphic Novel" and "Cooler Than Lemonade"

Pick up copies of this month's books at the Youth Services desk at the Middendorf-Kredell branch.A book club for the whole family! Each month, we will provide one copy of a chapter book suitable for grades 4-6 and one copy of a picture book suitable for grades K-3. Read either or both books at home (we encourage reading them aloud!), then join other families at the Library to discuss the books, do a related activity and craft, and pick up copies of the next month's books!This is a family/group program; children attending must be accompanied by an adult.   This month, we are discussing:The Lemonade War: The Graphic Novel by Jacqueline Davies and Karen De la Vega: Evan Treski is people smart. He's good at talking to people, even grown-ups. His younger sister, Jessie, on the other hand, is math smart—but not especially good at understanding people. She knows that feelings are her weakest subject. With just five days left of summer vacation, Evan and Jessie launch an all-out war to see who can sell the most lemonade before school starts. As the battleground heats up, there really is no telling who will win—and, even more important, if their fight will ever end. Cooler Than Lemonade by Harshita Jerath and Chloe Burgett: Eva starts a lemonade stand but competition from Jake's stand across the street creates a tough challenge so Eva decides to make kulfi, her own Indian ice cream, and partner with Jake.
