About This Book
Reach for this book when sibling competition has shifted from healthy play into genuine resentment and hurt feelings. It is particularly helpful for families navigating a change in school dynamics or for parents of children with different learning profiles who feel 'measured' against one another. The story follows Evan and Jessie, siblings whose different strengths (social versus analytical) lead to an all-out business war over a lemonade stand. While the plot focuses on a fun, high-stakes competition involving math and marketing, the heart of the book deals with the pain of feeling 'less than' a sibling. It explores how jealousy can lead even good kids to make poor choices, like sabotage or theft. Ultimately, it offers a roadmap for reconciliation and the importance of recognizing that everyone has their own unique 'intelligence.' It is a relatable, humorous, and deeply empathetic look at the complexities of sibling love.
