<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Evan Treski es astuto con la gente. Es bueno hablando con personas, hasta con adultos. Por lo contrario, su hermana menor, Jessie, es buena con las matemáticas, pero no tan buena entendiendo a la gente. Sabe que los sentimientos son su tema más débil. Entonces, cuando comienza su guerra de la limonada, realmente no se sabe quién ganará . . . y aún más importante, si su pelea alguna vez terminará. Aquí hay una ingeniosa y divertida mezcla de humor y matemáticas. Mientras captura el vínculo único entre hermano y hermana, esta conmovedora novela también sutilmente explora cómo las peleas pueden intensificarse más allá de la intención de nadie. <br> Evan Treski is people-smart. He is good at talking with people, even grownups. 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. So when their lemonade war begins, there really is no telling who will win--and even more important, if their fight will ever end. <p/> Here is a clever blend of humor and math fun. As it captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister, this poignant novel subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone's intent. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Evan Treski es un estudiante de cuarto grado que sabe tratar con la gente.
