The Lemonade Crime by Jacqueline Davies

Even though this is the sequel to The Lemonade War, the author included enough detail that the books can be read and enjoyed without having read the first one in the series. Evan and Scott's friendship is spoiled because Evan is convinced that Scott has stolen the money from the lemonade sale. Jessie decides to set up a mock court on the playground complete with judge, jury, and attorneys. Both sides agree to abide by the decision of the jury. Although the guilty party is found not guilty, the story has a satisfying ending and the friendship between Scott and Evan is restored. This book would be appealing to upper elementary and middle school students with an interest in books about law, fairness and friendship.

  1. I have to say those are my favorite books. Those that come in a series. I love that I can follow characters.
