Young adult books have long been on my radar with no remorse. Or even just lots of lemonade.As an adult who is obsessed with books, I don’t often pay that much attention to how books are categorized by the publishing companies.

I would recommend you try the first one, and if you or your kid like it, try the second.

It’s a quick read, and characters are not tremendously fleshed out, but you get interested in their story and charmed by the whole thing.

My daughter had pulled it from the shelf in her classroom, telling me that her teacher was very picky about what was there and so curated a very good collection. The reviews for Jacqueline Davies’ The Lemonade War are mostly good, but after being critical of Island of the Blue Dolphins, I find myself reluctant to call this one how I read it:
