The BIG Read

By Jacob Bramm

This year my school, Blue Ball Elementary, is having a thing called the big read. The way you do this is every night you are supposed to read one chapter of a book. This year the book that we are reading is called The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies. Every student in our school does this. If you can’t read chapter books than you can go onto the Blue Ball blog. Some of the teachers read the chapters for you and you just listen. We did this last year too. The book we read was called Frindle. It’s a book about a boy that names a pen frindle and then the whole school starts calling this pen a frindle.

The two main characters in The Lemonade War are a brother and sister named Evan and Jessie. In the book the brother tries selling lemonade. They lose business and he wonders why.He walks up the street and sees his sister selling lemonade with her friend and they both get into a fight. That is all that we have read so far in the book.
