honestly fantastic. i read it when i was in the age demographic, and most recently as a university student and it was still enjoyable and relatable.
Great on audio, likeable characters, believeable story line. Plenty of boy appeal, but interesting story to keep girls interested. 4th grader accused of stealing money out of classmate's shorts, little sister orchestrates a trial after school.

This was a fun read and I like the characters. Jessie supports her brother. Evan wants to back the money from Scott and Scott stole the money from Evan but in the end, Scott gives it to Evan. It was nicely written and I like the ending of the story. I use a paperback edition of this and I'm going to give it 5 stars:D
Following the laws of our legal system, Evan and Jessie’s fourth-grade class develops a courtroom on the playground, putting Scott Spencer, a stated thief, on trial. They create a fair courtroom—with a judge, witnesses, a jury of their peers—and surprising results.
As she explores the difficulties of fairness, Jacqueline Davies once again reveals how good she is at understanding the complex emotions of children this age.

Lacks the charm and interest of the first story. We almost left it unfinished, and I don’t think the kids would have minded.
The suspense on this was insane! Did Scott do it? Did he not do it? My kids didn’t want me to stop reading and that was ok with me.
I liked this more than The Lemonade War. This book will spark great discussions about friendship, family loyalty, honesty and justice, which is why I am going to read it aloud with 4th Grade this year. This is one of those rare realistic fiction books for kids that both boys and girls will relate to and enjoy equally.
This is the second book in "The Lemonade War" series and it picks up right where the first book leaves off. I really like the characters in this series, because it seems like most kids can relate to one of them. Jessie, is a math whiz and picks up new learning really easily, but she often has trouble relating to other kids and understanding them, especially if they are being sarcastic. Her older brother, Evan, on the other hand, has lots of friends, knows just what to say to people, but has a lot of trouble in school.
In this book, the brother and sister team work together using the judicial system to help them figure out who stole the money from Evan, which is where the first book left off. It is a good basic introduction to the judicial system for young readers and I think most kids will like the mystery and suspense.
