The five-day war takes a disastrous turn when Jessie mixes dead fruit flies in Evan's lemonade, leading to his sales tanking. Jessie uses her math and business skills to set goals (such as creating a franchise scheme with many girls selling lemonade for her) and Evan utilizes his skills at talking to people. The two siblings concoct a plan to earn $100, and whoever has the more successful lemonade stand gets the loser's earnings. In retaliation, Jessie sets up her own lemonade stand, and gets a friend, Megan, to help out. As payback, he makes a lemonade stand with his friend Scott, rudely rebuffing Jessie. Jessie is excited about moving up, but Evan is irritated because his sister is good at math and is worried she might embarrass him. It is revealed he is annoyed about a letter notifying their mother that Jessie is skipping third grade to be in Evan's fourth grade class. The book begins with Evan in his parents' basement, avoiding his younger sister, Jessie. It is the first of the Lemonade War series.
